Ocean Discovery – Rotterdam (Amsterdam), Edinburgh & Invergordon

About this cruise

A 28-night sailing gives you something shorter trips can't: the feeling that you're not just visiting places but actually living somewhere else for a while. This one leaves Dover on April 28, 2028 and visits Rotterdam, Leith (Edinburgh) and Invergordon, with additional stops along the British Isles & Western France. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. It's a proper British Isles & Western France tour: 4 countries, from Netherlands to Norway. Of the stops, Cobh (Cork) tends to be the one people talk about: Ireland's harbour of a thousand farewells. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Nieuw Statendam has 12 dining spots on board, most of them included. The longer time on board means you'll catch several shows, themed nights, and start feeling like a regular at your favourite bar. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
