Norwegian Star: 11-Night Cruise from Barcelona - October 29, 2026

With 13 hours hours in Motril, Spain - from 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM - you have a full day ashore with room to breathe. Go beyond the typical tourist stops: neighborhoods, local dining, and cultural sites that most cruise visitors never reach. Leave time for unstructured wandering. The town's agricultural heritage is celebrated in local markets and festivals, highlighting sugarcane, tropical fruits, and Andalusian cuisine.

The Norwegian Star will be offloading over 2,000 passengers into Cadiz (Seville), Spain. A ship-arranged shore excursion is the smoothest way to bypass terminal congestion - these groups often get priority disembarkation. Cadiz's historic center is compact and ideal for wandering.

Your ship arrives in Casablanca, Morocco at 10:00 AM, one of the most common arrival windows. If you've booked a morning excursion, aim to be among the first off. If your plans are flexible, waiting 30-45 minutes lets the initial wave pass. The Hassan II Mosque is one of the largest religious buildings in the world and a defining symbol of Casablanca.

You'll have 8 hours hours to explore Agadir, Morocco, from 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM - a solid full day ashore. That's enough for 2-3 attractions and a sit-down lunch without rushing. Tackle the most distant spot first, then work your way back toward the port. Inside, expect spices, produce, clothing, and household goods alongside friendly vendors.

The Norwegian Star will be offloading over 2,000 passengers into Arrecife, Lanzarote, Canary Islands. A ship-arranged shore excursion is the smoothest way to bypass terminal congestion - these groups often get priority disembarkation. This saltwater lagoon sits at the heart of Arrecife, surrounded by white houses, small boats, and cafés.

Your ship arrives in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Canary Islands at 7:00 AM, one of the most common arrival windows. If you've booked a morning excursion, aim to be among the first off. If your plans are flexible, waiting 30-45 minutes lets the initial wave pass. The striking Auditorio de Tenerife, designed by Santiago Calatrava, is an architectural icon.

The Norwegian Star will be offloading over 2,000 passengers into Porto (Oporto), Portugal. A ship-arranged shore excursion is the smoothest way to bypass terminal congestion - these groups often get priority disembarkation. The Ribeira district is Porto's historic heart, with narrow cobbled streets, colorful houses, and lively riverside cafes.

Your cruise ends in Lisbon, Portugal, where the Norwegian Star is scheduled to dock at 7:00 AM. With over 2,000 passengers, disembarkation groups are called over a one to two hour window - once your group is called, you'll be off in about 15 minutes. Self-assist lets you walk off first. Book your flight at least five hours after the ship's scheduled arrival. Wear comfortable walking shoes for hilly streets and cobblestones.
