Ocean Discovery – Amsterdam, Edinburgh & Invergordon

About this cruise

Clear the calendar from September 1, 2028. This one's 14 nights from Dover, and the route visits Amsterdam, Leith (Edinburgh) and Invergordon, with additional stops along the British Isles & Western France. By the time you're a week in, you'll have completely stopped checking your phone. 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: 3 countries, from Netherlands to Ireland. You get around 10 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, Nieuw Statendam has 12 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 September sailing dodges the peak crowds while the weather is still cooperating. Well timed. You'll probably start planning the next one before this one's even over.
