Ocean Discovery – Rotterdam (Amsterdam), Edinburgh & Invergordon

About this cruise

Block out 14 nights from April 28, 2028 and let this sailing from Dover do its thing. The route covers Rotterdam, Leith (Edinburgh) and Invergordon, with additional stops along the British Isles & Western France and there's plenty of room to breathe between each stop. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 10 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. Crossing 3 borders through the British Isles & Western France: Netherlands, United Kingdom and Ireland. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Kirkwall, Viking roots beneath Orkney's wide skies. Roughly 11 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Nieuw Statendam takes the food seriously, with 12 restaurants to choose from. 6 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. The shows alone are worth the extra nights. You'll catch comedy, music, theatre, and themed evenings you'd miss on a shorter trip. If you've done the short cruises and want more, this is the upgrade. Longer, deeper, and more relaxed. And April is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
