Ocean Discovery – Dublin, Belfast & Stornoway

About this cruise

Block out 11 nights from May 21, 2028 and let this sailing from Southampton do its thing. The route covers Dublin, Belfast and Stornoway, 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, 8 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. Crossing 4 borders through the British Isles & Western France: Ireland, United Kingdom, Belgium and France. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Don't rush through Belfast, which is known as Titanic's birthplace, reborn and thriving. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Norwegian Star takes the food seriously, with 13 restaurants to choose from. 5 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. With more nights comes more time for the ship's rhythm to kick in: morning coffee in the same spot, evening shows, late-night conversations on deck. If you've done the short cruises and want more, this is the upgrade. Longer, deeper, and more relaxed. And May is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. All told, 8 ports across 11 nights covers a lot.
