This 10-day British Isles cruise on board the Norwegian Star visits a well-balanced mix of historic cities, cultural hubs, and scenic coastal regions.
Explore England’s southern coast in Portland before heading to Ireland for vibrant stops in Cork, Dublin, and Belfast, each offering a blend of pub culture, history, and easy access to iconic countryside and landmarks. The itinerary continues to Liverpool for its Beatles heritage and maritime history, then moves into Scotland with calls in Invergordon, gateway to Loch Ness and the Highlands, and Edinburgh, known for its castle, Old Town, and dramatic architecture. Two relaxing sea days bookend the route, giving guests time to enjoy the ship while traveling between some of the most iconic destinations in the British Isles.
The Norwegian Star is a mid-sized cruise ship in the Norwegian Cruise Line fleet that combines a relaxed atmosphere with many of the amenities found on larger vessels. Originally launched in 2001 and extensively refurbished in 2021, the ship offers a more intimate cruising experience than Norwegian's bigger mega-ships.
