Ocean Discovery – Southampton, Le Havre (Paris) & Rotterdam (Amsterdam)

About this cruise

The kind of trip that's easy to say yes to and hard to regret. 7 nights from Southampton on May 9, 2027, visiting Le Havre (Paris), Rotterdam, IJmuiden (Amsterdam), Oslo and Copenhagen. You finish in Copenhagen. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 5 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. The route threads through 4 countries along the Northern Europe & Scandinavia coast: France, Netherlands, Norway and Denmark. IJmuiden (Amsterdam) alone is worth the trip, Amsterdam's North Sea gateway. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. There are 13 restaurants on Norwegian Star, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 7 nights. Southampton itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And May is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. Worth booking. That's the short version.
