Norwegian Cruise Line is expanding its global itinerary network by adding new destinations and ports across Asia, the Middle East and Australia. In 2016 and 2017, Norwegian Star will offer voyages departing from Istanbul, Dubai, Singapore, Hong Kong, Sydney and Auckland. These sailings mark the line’s return to Asia and Australia for the first time since Norwegian Wind operated in those regions in autumn/winter 2001–2002, and include the company’s first-ever calls to ports in the Gulf and India.
“We are truly excited to offer these incredible new itineraries to our guests, who now have the opportunity to explore areas of the globe that we haven’t called on in many years and some that we’ve never before visited,” said Andy Stuart, president and chief operating officer of Norwegian Cruise Line. “These itineraries give guests the chance to sample new cuisines, experience diverse cultures and enjoy unforgettable sights, all while unpacking once and using the ship as a comfortable base to discover multiple distinct destinations on a single, memorable holiday.”
