[edit] History
This ship entered service at the end of 2001. She was originally intended to operate with Star Cruises under the name SuperStar Libra, but six months before delivery it was decided that the ship would be assigned to Star Cruises' subsidiary, Norwegian Cruise Line. The vessel was christened at the Port of Miami in a dual ceremony with another new NCL vessel, constructed at Germany's Lloyd Werft shipyard, the Norwegian Sun.
[edit] Vessel Class
Norwegian Star was the first of two Libra Class vessels constructed at Meyer Werft Shipyard in Papenburg, Germany; the second is Norwegian Dawn. [1]
[edit] Current Cruises
Norwegian Star currently operates cruises in Alaska and the Mexican Riviera.
