Overview
Experience on board
Norwegian Star is a Panamax cruise ship; its 294-meter-length (965 ft) and 32.2-meter-beam (105.6 ft) nears the limit for ships transiting the Panama Canal through the original set of locks. Norwegian Star is best planned by matching the itinerary with the ship's dining rhythm, cabin choices, and sea-day pace. Before booking Norwegian Star, compare what Norwegian Cruise Line includes in the fare with the extras you actually expect to use on board.
