28 Night Cruise from Dover

About this cruise

Every port gets the time it deserves and the sea days in between are half the fun. This 28-night sailing leaves Dover on July 9, 2027 and visits Rotterdam, Copenhagen and Aarhus, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. Ports up front, sea days at the end. By the time you're back in Dover, you'll feel properly rested rather than rushed. The Western Mediterranean route takes in Netherlands, Denmark, United Kingdom, France, Spain, Portugal and Morocco, 7 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Málaga, Picasso's birthplace on the Costa del Sol. Roughly 12 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Nieuw Statendam keeps you well fed. 12 places to eat, with 6 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. With more nights comes more time for the ship's rhythm to kick in: morning coffee in the same spot, evening shows, late-night conversations on deck. If you've done the short cruises and want more, this is the upgrade. Longer, deeper, and more relaxed. If you can, add a night in Dover before boarding. It's a good city to wander. And July means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
