Ocean Discovery – Kristiansand, Haugesund & Skjolden

About this cruise

You come back from a trip like this actually rested, not just "I went on vacation" rested. 14 nights from Southampton on June 10, 2028, visiting Kristiansand, Haugesund and Skjolden, with additional stops along the Northern Europe & Scandinavia. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 8 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. Midnight sun, Viking history, and landscapes that look photoshopped but aren't. People come back from this cruise talking about Kristiansand: Southern Norway's sunniest harbour. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Sky Princess keeps you well fed. 8 places to eat, with 4 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. The shows alone are worth the extra nights. You'll catch comedy, music, theatre, and themed evenings you'd miss on a shorter trip. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in Southampton before boarding. It's a good city to wander. And June means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. 8 ports, 2 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
