Ocean Discovery – Edinburgh, Invergordon & Portree

About this cruise

Long enough to properly switch off but not so long you need to reorganise your entire life. This 10-night round-trip sailing from Southampton on August 26, 2027 visits Leith (Edinburgh), Invergordon, Isle of Skye, Cobh (Cork), Dublin and Belfast. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 6 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. Stone-walled harbours, cream teas, and rain that clears just long enough for the view to be worth it. Keep an eye out for Leith (Edinburgh): Edinburgh's dockside neighbourhood of character. Roughly 11 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Norwegian Star has 13 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 August means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. That's 10 nights well spent.
