Fjordland Sovereign – Ålesund & Oslo

About this cruise

You won't run out of things to do on a trip this long, but you also won't feel like you have to do any of them. 13 nights from Rotterdam on September 19, 2026, visiting Eidfjord, Ålesund and Trondheim, with additional stops along the Northern Europe & Scandinavia. Disembarkation is in Dover. The ports come early and the voyage wraps with sea days. A good way to decompress before heading home. From Bergen's coloured waterfront to the fjords beyond, this is Scandinavia doing what it does best. Most ports give you about 10 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Nieuw Statendam takes the food seriously, with 12 restaurants to choose from. 6 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. By night three you start recognising faces; by night ten you're swapping numbers. That's the magic of a longer sailing. A proper voyage for people who like to take their time and hate rushing through destinations. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Rotterdam has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. You start in Rotterdam and come back with stories from Norway and United Kingdom.
