Accommodation

Norweigian Star

Your Hotel

Overnight accommodation in Los Angeles will be at a good standard hotel with a restaurant and bar. All bedrooms have private facilities, TV and telephone.

Your Ship

The stunning Norwegian Star boasts all the superb features expected from an NCL ship and more! With a great choice of 13 restaurants and dining rooms offering super cuisine, a range of lively public rooms, excellent stateroom accommodation, state-of-the-art fitness and leisure facilities, night club and sports bar, she's the perfect ship for sailing through the Panama Canal.

Itinerary

After an overnight stay in Los Angeles, enjoy a day at sea, making the most of the excellent facilities aboard Norwegian Star, before stopping at your first port of call, Cabo San Lucas, where you can go snorkelling on Santa Maria Beach. You will also visit Huatulco, where you can relax on the beach or visit the ecological reserve at Bahia de Huatulco, and marvel at the dare-devil cliff divers in glamorous Acapulco.

Built to join the Atlantic and Pacific oceans and completed in 1914, the Panama Canal remains one of the world's most incredible engineering feats. Your ship becomes a floating grandstand from which to view the emerald green rainforest, huge, placid lakes and teeming wildlife during a day of sheer magic.

It's then on to Puntarenas in Costa Rica, a country with a fascinating blend of beaches, volcanoes and rainforests. Why not wander around the quaint, narrow streets and fortress walls of the Colombian resort of Cartagena.

Your cruise comes to an end in Miami, where you disembark and transfer to the airport for your return flight back to the UK.
