Ocean Discovery – Edinburgh, Liverpool & Belfast

About this cruise

You sail from Southampton on August 3, 2028 and spend 10 nights visiting Leith (Edinburgh), Liverpool and Belfast, with additional stops along the British Isles & Western France. It's a well-tested route and there's a reason people keep booking it. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. The route threads through 3 countries along the British Isles & Western France coast: United Kingdom, Ireland and United States. Most ports give you about 9 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, There are 13 restaurants on Norwegian Star, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 10 nights. 10 nights is long enough to build a routine on board: favourite restaurant, favourite deck chair, favourite people. It starts to feel like a floating village. It's peak season, so the weather is at its best and the ship will be full. That's part of the fun. 10 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
