Ocean Discovery – Vik, Sandnes & Kristiansand

About this cruise

7 nights is that sweet spot where you actually start to relax. This sailing from Warnemünde (Rostock) on August 20, 2028 visits Vik (Vikøyri), Stavanger, Kristiansand, Oslo and Copenhagen and doesn't try to cram in too much. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. Deep fjords, tiny fishing villages, and the kind of scenery that looks better in person than in photos. Of the stops, Oslo tends to be the one people talk about: Viking ships and northern cool on the fjord. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. MSC Splendida takes the food seriously, with 6 restaurants to choose from. 2 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
