Ocean Discovery – Reykjavik, Kirkwall & Leith (Edinburgh)

About this cruise

Block out 14 nights from July 18, 2027 and let this sailing from Reykjavik do its thing. The route covers Kirkwall, Leith (Edinburgh) and Rotterdam, with additional stops along the Northern Europe & Scandinavia and there's plenty of room to breathe between each stop. The sailing ends in Rotterdam. The sea days come first, which means no rushing to get off the ship on day one. You hit the ports relaxed and ready. Crossing 3 borders through the Northern Europe & Scandinavia: United Kingdom, Netherlands and Norway. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. People come back from this cruise talking about Leith (Edinburgh): Edinburgh's dockside neighbourhood of character. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Rotterdam takes the food seriously, with 12 restaurants to choose from. 6 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. 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. And July means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. 7 ports, 3 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
