Celt & Cobblestone – Dublin, Edinburgh & Amsterdam

About this cruise

This is the kind of cruise where you actually have time to go back to a port highlight you missed the first time. 11 nights from Southampton on July 19, 2026, visiting Belfast, Liverpool and Dublin, with additional stops along the British Isles & Western France. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. It's a proper British Isles & Western France tour: 6 countries, from United Kingdom to France. 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, From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Norwegian Sky has 8 dining spots on board, most of them included. 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. A July departure puts you in the best summer conditions: long days, warm nights, plenty of sun. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 11-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
