Amber & Hanseatic Route – Zeebrugge, Kiel & Copenhagen

About this cruise

A week or so at sea, a few great ports, and nothing to organise once you're on board. This 7-night sailing from Southampton on June 1, 2026 visits Zeebrugge, IJmuiden (Amsterdam), Kiel, Warnemünde (Rostock) and Copenhagen. The trip wraps in Copenhagen, so you won't retrace your steps. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 5 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. Crossing 4 borders through the Baltic: Belgium, Netherlands, Germany and Denmark. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Keep an eye out for Kiel: Germany's sailing capital on the Baltic. Roughly 11 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Norwegian Sun takes the food seriously, with 13 restaurants to choose from. 5 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. Long enough that you stop checking your phone. Short enough that you're not bored. And June means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. That's 7 nights well spent.
