If you've got energy to burn, you can bop until you drop in the Carousel Lounge and Night Club or whirl your partner around the dance floor in the Spinnaker Lounge. There's also an impressive three-tier theatre featuring Broadway and Las Vegas-style shows, a cinema showing all the latest movies and a casino with Blackjack, Poker, slots and more.

Dining on Norwegian Star

There's no strict dress code on your cruise ship so you can leave the tux at home. It's entirely up to you where you want to eat each evening and you've got 13 different venues to choose from - serving everything from tapas and Tex-Mex to French, Italian or all-American cuisine.

If you like dinner to be a special occasion, the Aqua Main Dining Room is as fine a dining experience as you'll find in any smart city restaurant. Among it's culinary delights are a selection of light and healthy choices for anyone watching the calories.

Alternatively, head for the Versaille Main Dining Room where the delicious menus are created by your cruise ship's award-winning chefs, members of the world-famous gourmet society Chaine des Rotisseurs.

Your professional, Virgin Holidays Cruises licensed tour guide will meet you at the port and direct you to an awaiting coach for your private City Tour. Your tour begins at Jackson Square with some French Quarter history and continues along Esplanade. This elegant French Avenue lined with large, Victorian houses leads you from the French Quarter to City Park.

Before you arrive at City Park, you will stop at St. Louis #3 Cemetery, where you will learn about the above ground burial system, the misfortunes that took the lives of many in early New Orleans and also the culture of the jazz funerals.

City Park's many attractions, including the New Orleans Museum of Art, a sculpture garden, botanical gardens, an amusement park and more, are nestled among the shadows of the largest collection of ancient oak trees. Stone foot bridges cross lagoons in this picture-perfect setting in 1,300 lush acres.

You will tour the Lakefront before continuing on to the second most famous street in New Orleans - St. Charles Avenue, the oak-lined avenue of American elegance. Following the streetcar route, the first public transportation system in the United States, you will access the Uptown area. Here you will see Tulane and Loyola Universities, the Audubon Zoo and Audubon Park.

Upon returning to the French Quarter we will disembark the coach for you to explore at your own pace. We have also included a voucher for café au lait and beignets, a special New Orleans treat. You will also have free time in which to redeem your voucher and your guide will be available to assist you with lunch recommendations, attraction information and directions. Later in the afternoon you will be transferred back to the Norwegian Star.
