Ocean Discovery – Rotterdam (Amsterdam), Haugesund & Alesund

About this cruise

14 nights starts to feel like a proper adventure. You leave Dover on June 9, 2028 and the route takes you through Rotterdam, Haugesund and Ålesund, with additional stops along the Northern Europe & Scandinavia at a pace where there's never any need to rush. 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 Northern Europe & Scandinavia tour: 3 countries, from Netherlands to United Kingdom. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Stavanger, Oil wealth meets old-town cobblestones. Around 9 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. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
