Ocean Discovery – Southampton, Le Havre (Paris) & Zeebrugge (Bruges)

About this cruise

Long enough to properly switch off but not so long you need to reorganise your entire life. This 10-night sailing from Southampton on May 2, 2028 visits Le Havre (Paris), Zeebrugge and IJmuiden (Amsterdam), with additional stops along the Baltic. The trip wraps in Copenhagen, so you won't retrace your steps. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 8 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. It's a proper Baltic tour: 6 countries, from France to Germany. Keep an eye out for Le Havre (Paris): Normandy's port, Paris's gateway to the sea. Roughly 11 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Norwegian Star has 13 dining spots on board, most of them included. The shows alone are worth the extra nights. You'll catch comedy, music, theatre, and themed evenings you'd miss on a shorter trip. And May is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. That's 10 nights well spent.
