7 Night Cruise from Southampton

About this cruise

7 nights is that sweet spot where you actually start to relax. This sailing from Southampton on July 11, 2027 visits Haugesund, Bergen, Olden and Stavanger and doesn't try to cram in too much. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. Deep fjords, tiny fishing villages, and the kind of scenery that looks better in person than in photos. Bergen alone is worth the trip, A Hanseatic wharf of painted wooden houses. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Freedom Of The Seas takes the food seriously, with 14 restaurants to choose from. 7 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. Worth booking. That's the short version.
