Ocean Discovery – Dover, Rotterdam (Amsterdam) & Alesund

About this cruise

You come back from a trip like this actually rested, not just "I went on vacation" rested. 15 nights from Dover on November 10, 2028, visiting Rotterdam, Ålesund and Trondheim, with additional stops along the Northern Europe & Scandinavia. The trip wraps in Rotterdam, so you won't retrace your steps. Ports up front, sea days at the end. By the time you're back in Dover, you'll feel properly rested rather than rushed. Midnight sun, Viking history, and landscapes that look photoshopped but aren't. Keep an eye out for Bergen: A Hanseatic wharf of painted wooden houses. Roughly 11 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Nieuw Statendam has 12 dining spots on board, most of them included. With more nights comes more time for the ship's rhythm to kick in: morning coffee in the same spot, evening shows, late-night conversations on deck. And November is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. That's 15 nights well spent.
