Star Cruises took over the Norwegian Cruise Line in March 2000. They then ordered new large cruise ships for both lines. Part of the agreement in this takeover was that the Norwegian Cruise Line would continue operating under their original name.

Superstar Leo was transferred to the Norwegian Cruise Line in 2004 to be operated under the name Norwegian Spirit. She is now operated on 1,6,&8 night cruises out of New York - Bermuda, Bahamas & New England. Seven night Western Caribbean cruises depart from New Orleans.
