Norwegian Cruise Line is growing its route network with the addition of new destinations and ports around the world, including cruises to Asia on Norwegian Star with itineraries departing from Istanbul, Dubai, Singapore, Hong Kong, Sydney and Auckland, in 2016 and 2017. The new voyages mark the line’s return to the Asia and Australia regions for the first time since Norwegian Wind autumn/winter 2001–2002 and first-ever visits to 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, Norwegian Cruise Line. “Norwegian is taking guests to their dream destinations, where they can indulge in new tastes, new cultures and new experiences, along with the flexibility to unpack once and the freedom to explore many distinct destinations during one holiday-of-a-lifetime.”
