More than just Beer on Tap for Norwegian Escape

We’ve been seeing this shift in partnerships with different cruise lines over the past decade, especially with award-winning chefs. How successful are they? Well if Norwegian’s announcement with a half dozen new partners is any inclination, it seems to be working well.

At an event held recently aboard Norwegian Breakaway in New York City, Norwegian Cruise Line announced more details of their upcoming Norwegian Escape, due out later this year.

What will we see?

Food

Food Republic

• Bayamo by Jose Garces – the Iron Chef himself will bring flavors of Latin America with Spanish influences.
• Pincho Tapas Bar by Jose Garces – Spanish tapas
• Food Republic will be a modern, upscale food emporium from Miami-based The Pubbelly Restaurant offering everything from Asian to European cuisine. Bringing Miami’s South Beach scene to sea.

Beer

The District Brewhouse

• The District Brew House – A hip and urban craft beer hall with more than 20 beers on tap and 50 different bottled beers. Including local Miami craft beer from Wynwood Brewing Company.
