15 days, round-trip Northern Europe Fjords from Hamburg
About this cruise
Somewhere around day five the ship stops being transport and starts being home. This 15-night sailing from Hamburg on September 20, 2026 visits Leith (Edinburgh), Invergordon and Kirkwall, with additional stops along the Northern Europe & Scandinavia. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. From Bergen's coloured waterfront to the fjords beyond, this is Scandinavia doing what it does best. Most ports give you about 10 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Costa Favolosa: 3,016 guests, 13 decks. Entertainment, dining, and enough space that it never feels cramped. By night three you start recognising faces; by night ten you're swapping numbers. That's the magic of a longer sailing. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 15-night sailing is a strong place to start.
