Ocean Discovery – Liverpool, Dublin & Cork

About this cruise

Every port gets the time it deserves and the sea days in between are half the fun. This 12-night sailing leaves Amsterdam on May 5, 2028 and visits Liverpool, Dublin and Cobh (Cork), with additional stops along the British Isles & Western France. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 7 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 Invergordon: Highland hospitality on the Cromarty Firth. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Celebrity Apex keeps you well fed. 14 places to eat, with 8 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. 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. If you've done the short cruises and want more, this is the upgrade. Longer, deeper, and more relaxed. If you can, add a night in Amsterdam before boarding. It's a good city to wander. And May is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. That's 12 nights well spent.
