Ocean Discovery – Le Havre (Paris), Belfast & Liverpool

About this cruise

The kind of trip where you lose track of what day it is, and nobody cares. 11 nights from Southampton on June 22, 2028, visiting Le Havre (Paris), Belfast and Liverpool, with additional stops along the British Isles & Western France. 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 British Isles & Western France route takes in France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, Netherlands and Belgium, 6 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Most ports give you about 11 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, 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. By night three you start recognising faces; by night ten you're swapping numbers. That's the magic of a longer sailing. A proper voyage for people who like to take their time and hate rushing through destinations. It's peak season, so the weather is at its best and the ship will be full. That's part of the fun. 11 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
