Ocean Discovery – Zeebrugge (Bruges), Amsterdam & Oslo

About this cruise

A 49-night sailing gives you something shorter trips can't: the feeling that you're not just visiting places but actually living somewhere else for a while. This one leaves Southampton on June 16, 2028 and visits Zeebrugge, Amsterdam and Oslo, with additional stops along the Baltic. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. 15 countries (Belgium, Netherlands, Norway, Denmark, Germany, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Finland, Sweden, Iceland, Faroe Islands, United Kingdom, Ireland and Jamaica) across the Baltic, each with its own character. Don't rush through Kristiansand, which is known as Southern Norway's sunniest harbour. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. You won't go hungry on Caribbean Princess. 7 restaurants come with the fare, plus 6 more when you feel like treating yourself. There are enough performances, events, and social mixers on a cruise this length that you couldn't do them all if you tried. And that's a good problem. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. All told, 33 ports across 49 nights covers a lot.
