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.

This year our main holiday was a 'cruise and stay' with First Choice. Our first ever cruise was excellent, the 'stay' was a come-down after the excellent time we had on board the Island Star.

We booked late and had a twin outside cabin on... read more

I’ve just came back from this cruise of a lifetime, and I really mean it. It was absolutely fantastic and wish I was still there.

I saw just one football shirt on this cruise, and not one spider web tattoo!

Had to complain about smokers in the non smoking sectors for the ship, again no action taken by staff.
