Ocean Discovery – Zeebrugge (Bruges), Amsterdam & Hamburg

About this cruise

You come back from a trip like this actually rested, not just "I went on vacation" rested. 27 nights from Southampton on July 3, 2027, visiting Zeebrugge, Amsterdam and Hamburg, with additional stops along the Northern Europe & Scandinavia. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 17 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. The route threads through 8 countries along the Northern Europe & Scandinavia coast: Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, Norway, Iceland, United Kingdom and United States. People come back from this cruise talking about Seydisfjordur: A rainbow road to a fjord-side village. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Regal Princess has 12 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. The shows alone are worth the extra nights. You'll catch comedy, music, theatre, and themed evenings you'd miss on a shorter trip. Southampton itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And July means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. 17 ports, 8 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
