Ocean Discovery – Dublin, Belfast & Portree

About this cruise

Block out 11 nights from June 13, 2027 and let this sailing from Southampton do its thing. The route covers Dublin, Belfast and Isle of Skye, with additional stops along the British Isles & Western France and there's plenty of room to breathe between each stop. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 9 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. Crossing 6 borders through the British Isles & Western France: Ireland, United Kingdom, Australia, Netherlands, Belgium and France. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Invergordon, Highland hospitality on the Cromarty Firth. Roughly 11 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Norwegian Star takes the food seriously, with 13 restaurants to choose from. 4 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. The shows alone are worth the extra nights. You'll catch comedy, music, theatre, and themed evenings you'd miss on a shorter trip. If you've done the short cruises and want more, this is the upgrade. Longer, deeper, and more relaxed. And June means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
