Norwegian Star: 11-Night Cruise from Lisbon - November 9, 2026

You'll have 10 hours hours to explore Las Palmas, Gran Canaria, Canary Islands, from 8:00 AM to 6:00 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. The food scene combines traditional Canarian dishes with international flavors.

The Norwegian Star will be offloading over 2,000 passengers into Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Canary Islands. A ship-arranged shore excursion is the smoothest way to bypass terminal congestion - these groups often get priority disembarkation. The striking Auditorio de Tenerife, designed by Santiago Calatrava, is an architectural icon.

Your ship arrives in Santa Cruz de La Palma, Spain 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. Explore the cobblestone streets lined with colorful buildings, historic churches, and boutique shops.

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.

With 14 hours hours in Le Havre (Paris), France - from 7:00 AM to 9:30 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. Explore the post-war city center designed by Auguste Perret with straight streets, concrete buildings, and striking architectural details.

Your cruise ends in Southampton, England, 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. Step back in time at the Tudor House Museum, a beautifully preserved historic home showcasing centuries of Southampton's domestic and social history, including exhibitions on trade and local life.
