27 Night Cruise from Rotterdam

About this cruise

Somewhere around day five the ship stops being transport and starts being home. This 27-night sailing from Rotterdam on November 20, 2027 visits Lisbon, Cádiz and Barcelona, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. Last stop: Dover. The first couple of days are at sea, which gives you time to settle in and get to know the ship before the ports begin. 8 countries (Portugal, Spain, United Kingdom, Germany, Estonia, Finland, Sweden and Denmark) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. Most ports give you about 10 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, You won't go hungry on Nieuw Statendam. 6 restaurants come with the fare, plus 6 more when you feel like treating yourself. 27 nights is long enough to build a routine on board: favourite restaurant, favourite deck chair, favourite people. It starts to feel like a floating village. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. Good route, good ship, good timing. It all lines up.
