Ocean Discovery – Bergen, Narvik & Harstad

About this cruise

Somewhere around day five the ship stops being transport and starts being home. This 14-night sailing from Hamburg on October 5, 2026 visits Bergen, Narvik and Harstad, with additional stops along the Northern Europe & Scandinavia. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. From Bergen's coloured waterfront to the fjords beyond, this is Scandinavia doing what it does best. Most ports give you about 9 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Costa Favolosa: 3,016 guests, 13 decks. Entertainment, dining, and enough space that it never feels cramped. 14 nights is long enough to build a routine on board: favourite restaurant, favourite deck chair, favourite people. It starts to feel like a floating village. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Hamburg 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 Hamburg and come back with stories from Bergen, Narvik and Harstad, with additional stops along the Northern Europe & Scandinavia.
