Ocean Discovery – Belfast, Dublin & Invergordon

About this cruise

Clear the calendar from June 11, 2028. This one's 11 nights from Southampton, and the route visits Belfast, Dublin and Invergordon, with additional stops along the British Isles & Western France. By the time you're a week in, you'll have completely stopped checking your phone. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. The British Isles & Western France route takes in United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, Netherlands, Belgium and France, 6 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. You get around 11 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Norwegian Star keeps you well fed. 13 places to eat, with 5 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. Longer sailings have a different energy. People relax into it, stop rushing, and start actually talking to each other. Suits retirees, remote workers, or anyone who doesn't need to be anywhere else for a while. A June departure puts you in the best summer conditions: long days, warm nights, plenty of sun. You'll probably start planning the next one before this one's even over.
