The Island Star joins Island Cruises for 2006 from her previous life as the Horizon, a much-loved ship in the Celebrity Cruises fleet.

Already boasting excellent guest facilities and accommodation, we've added some new features that we're sure Island Cruises' customers will really appreciate, and created some fascinating new itineraries for the best ship in her class to explore.

The first thing you'll notice about the Island Star is the space. With broad decks, double-height public areas and roomy cabins you can always find a place to relax and enjoy your surroundings.

In re-fit we will take the most popular features of the Island Escape and re-interprete them for the larger Island Star.

Dining, as on the Island Escape is an informal affair with an increased choice of 5 restaurants. Choose from the new al fresco Grill, a huge range of international buffet dishes in the Island Restaurant, the 24-hour Beachcomber buffet, fine dining in the Oasis or treat yourself in the Steak House.

Days at sea, or in port can be enjoyed out on the expansive sun decks. The separate adult and children's pools are within easy reach of the Mirage and Sailaway bars. Tear yourself away and this could be the perfect time to join a spinning class in the excellent gym or enjoy a rejuvenating therapy session at the spa.

Following a day's recreation or sightseeing, there's no shortage of options for your evening's entertainment. The spectacular two-storey Ocean Theatre is home to nightly West End style shows whilst the Bounty Club doubles as a cabaret lounge and nightclub later on. There are seven bars to choose from with quieter spots like the elegant Captain's Club through to the busy Pub where live music keeps the pace high.

Add to this a casino, library, card room and the Harbour Café coffee shop, not to mention shops for perfume, jewellery as well as wine and spirits - and you can see that your days onboard the Island Star will just float by.
