First look: Inside Norwegian Cruise Line\'s new Norwegian Escape

The 4,248-passenger Norwegian Escape is Norwegian Cruise Line\'s largest ship ever. 

Among the most notable features on Norwegian Escape\'s top deck is Aqua Park, a family-friendly fun zone billed as the largest of its kind at sea. 

The Norwegian Escape\'s Aqua Park features Free Fall, touted as the fastest water slide at sea, and another slide that takes inner tubes designed for two -- a first for Norwegian. 

Two passengers at a time can ride an inner tube down the Aqua Racer slide on the port side of the Norwegian Escape\'s Aqua Park (the big blue slide on the right in this picture). 

The Norwegian Escape\'s Aqua Park is being billed as the largest water park at sea. It has five water slides in all. 

The Free Fall water slides on the Norwegian Escape kick off with a near vertical drop over the side of the ship. 

The water slide zone atop the Norwegian Escape includes a watery play area for children called the Kid\'s Aqua Park. 

The hub of the Norwegian Escape\'s top deck is its main pool area located on Deck 16. The layout differs from the main pool areas of recent Norwegian ships; it features a double-decker bar and more room for lounge chairs. 

In another new twist, the Norwegian Escape has two large outdoor screens overlooking the main pool on Deck 16. 

The Waves pool bar on Deck 17 overlooks the main pool. 

More lounge chairs line the sides of the ship on Deck 17.
