Spacious Garden Villas add a layer of exclusivity rarely found on ships of this scale. In the center of the experience, Norwegian Star balances relaxed Freestyle Cruising with a layout that favors open sightlines and quiet corners, making it well suited for longer itineraries and destination-focused voyages across diverse regions.
