Island Star Cruise Ship

A new addition for 2006, the Island Star will have the same relaxed, friendly and informal approach as her sister ship but with upgraded facilities. A bigger vessel she has more room for additional bars and restaurants, a separate kids’ pool and a wider choice of balcony and suite cabins.
