Celts & Cobblestones – Edinburgh, Belfast & Paris

About this cruise

11 nights starts to feel like a proper adventure. You leave Southampton on June 28, 2026 and the route takes you through Dublin, Belfast and Stornoway, with additional stops along the British Isles & Western France at a pace where there's never any need to rush. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. 6 countries (Ireland, United Kingdom, Australia, Netherlands, Belgium and France) across the British Isles & Western France, each with its own character. Don't rush through Newcastle, which is known as Australia's harbour of surf, coal, and culture. Around 11 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. You won't go hungry on Norwegian Sky. 4 restaurants come with the fare, plus 4 more when you feel like treating yourself. There are enough performances, events, and social mixers on a cruise this length that you couldn't do them all if you tried. And that's a good problem. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. All told, 9 ports across 11 nights covers a lot.
