Ocean Discovery – Lerwick, Skjolden & Haugesund

About this cruise

You board in Southampton on September 16, 2028 for 7 nights visiting Lerwick, Skjolden, Haugesund and Skagen, and you come back from this kind of trip wondering why you don't do it more often. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. Crossing 3 borders through the Northern Europe & Scandinavia: United Kingdom, Norway and Denmark. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. People come back from this cruise talking about Skjolden: The innermost village of the Sognefjord. Around 8 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. MSC Meraviglia takes the food seriously, with 9 restaurants to choose from. 3 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. 4 ports, 3 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
