Ocean Discovery – Portland, Cork & Belfast

About this cruise

Block out 11 nights from July 4, 2027 and let this sailing from Southampton do its thing. The route covers Portland, Cobh (Cork) and Belfast, 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. It's a proper British Isles & Western France tour: 6 countries, from United States to France. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Zeebrugge, Belgium's gateway to Bruges and Belgian chocolate. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Norwegian Star has 13 dining spots on board, most of them included. 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. And July means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
