14 nights - Longing Destination Svalbard - from/to Kiel

About this cruise

A 14-night sailing gives you something shorter trips can't: the feeling that you're not just visiting places but actually living somewhere else for a while. This one leaves Kiel on June 15, 2027 and visits Copenhagen, Nordfjordeid, Longyearbyen, Honningsvåg, Tromsø and Haugesund. There's a nice rhythm here: explore a port, recover at sea, do it again. You never feel rushed or restless. The route threads through 3 countries along the Northern Europe & Scandinavia coast: Denmark, Norway and Svalbard & Jan Mayen. Don't rush through Honningsvåg, which is known as Europe's northernmost harbour, gateway to Nordkapp. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Mein Schiff 7 (2024) is one of the newer ships out there, with current design and recent tech throughout. There are enough performances, events, and social mixers on a cruise this length that you couldn't do them all if you tried. And that's a good problem. Kiel itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. All told, 6 ports across 14 nights covers a lot.
