Norwegian Star departing Sydney 6 February 2016

This voyage was an unhappy one for the passengers. The first port of call was Melbourne, but on her way from there to New Zealand the ship lost propulsion and was drifting in the Tasman Sea for some hours, eventually being towed back to Melbourne by tugs. Four days of the scheduled itinerary were lost. Video taken by webcamsydney.com. Launched in 2001 this ship has a tonnage of 91,700 gross tonnes, carries 2,348 passengers and 1,031 crew.
