Amber & Cobblestone – Copenhagen, Hamburg & Paris

About this cruise

There's a reason 10-night cruises are the most popular length. This one sails from Southampton on April 29, 2027 and visits Gothenburg, Copenhagen, Hamburg, IJmuiden (Amsterdam), Zeebrugge and Le Havre (Paris). The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. The Baltic route takes in Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium and France, 6 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. You get around 11 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Norwegian Star keeps you well fed. 13 places to eat, with 4 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. One of the underrated parts of a longer cruise: you actually get to know people. The couple from dinner, the group at trivia, the bartender who remembers your drink. Couples, small groups, or anyone who wants proper time away will find this hits the spot. An April departure catches that sweet window of warm-enough weather before the summer rush. You start in Southampton and come back with stories from Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium and France.
