Itinerary
Day 1
Day 1
Brest
Depart 18:00
Brest is Brittany's principal Atlantic port, where seventeen centuries of naval heritage meet vibrant Breton culture in a city rebuilt with defiant spirit after wartime destruction. Visitors should explore the ancient Château de Brest, feast on buckwheat galettes and Cancale oysters, and take excursions to the dramatic Crozon Peninsula. May through September is ideal, especially during the biennial Fêtes Maritimes tall ship festival.

Oostende (Ostend)
Arrive 08:00Depart 13:30
Oostende (Ostend) in Belgium is a distinctive cruise destination that rewards curious travelers with authentic cultural encounters and natural beauty. Don't miss the local markets and the surrounding landscapes that extend the experience beyond the port itself. The most favorable visiting conditions prevail May through October, when the climate is at its most welcoming for outdoor exploration. Cruise lines including Scenic Ocean Cruises feature this port on their most compelling itineraries. Whether you have a few hours or a full day, the port rewards exploration at every pace and in every direction.
Day 4
Day 4
Rotterdam
Depart 18:00
Rotterdam, Europe's largest port, is a city that rebuilt itself from wartime ruin into one of the continent's most exhilarating architectural laboratories — a skyline of Cube Houses, the pencil-thin Westerkade skyscrapers, and the breathtaking Markthal arching over an indoor food market of extraordinary abundance. The Boijmans Van Beuningen collection ranks among Europe's finest, while the art district of Witte de With pulses with galleries and design studios. Day-trip to Kinderdijk's nineteen iconic windmills, a UNESCO World Heritage site rising from the polders just south of the city. Spring and early summer offer the finest conditions.

Day 6
Stavanger
Arrive 12:00Depart 18:00
Stavanger, Norway, is a vibrant port city rich in history and natural beauty, making it a must-visit destination for travelers. Experience the unique local cuisine, such as klippfisk and rakfisk, and don’t miss the breathtaking views from Pulpit Rock. The best time to visit is during the summer months, when the weather is mild and ideal for outdoor adventures.
Day 7
Day 7
Bergen
Arrive 08:00Depart 16:00
Bergen, Norway's charming coastal city and historic trading hub, is known for its picturesque Bryggen Wharf and rich maritime heritage. Must-do experiences include sampling local delicacies at the vibrant Fish Market and exploring the medieval Hanseatic quarter. The best season to visit is during the summer months, when the city's lively atmosphere and stunning fjord landscapes are at their peak.
Day 8
Day 8
Alesund
Arrive 08:30Depart 14:00
Ålesund, rebuilt in just three years after a catastrophic 1904 fire, rose from its ashes as one of Europe's most remarkable concentrations of Art Nouveau architecture — turrets, dragon motifs, and floral stonework lining a Norwegian fishing town waterfront like an open-air Jugendstil museum. Climb the 418 steps of Aksla hill for a panorama that sweeps across the Art Nouveau rooftops to the surrounding fjords, then descend to sample the town's celebrated fresh Atlantic seafood at the harbor quay. Summer brings the midnight sun; autumn offers moody light and the region's famous apple orchards. The Geirangerfjord, a UNESCO treasure, is an hour's sail away.
Day 9
Day 9
Trondheim
Arrive 08:30Depart 14:00
Trondheim, Norway's ancient first capital, has drawn pilgrims for a thousand years to the Nidaros Cathedral — Scandinavia's greatest medieval building, raised over the tomb of Saint Olav and still serving as Norway's royal coronation church, its Gothic west facade a sublime gallery of stone scripture. The city unfolds along the banks of the Nidelva River in a harmonious mix of centuries-old wooden wharfhouses, elegant baroque streetscapes, and a confident contemporary university culture. Summer is the ideal season for Trondheim, when long golden evenings allow leisurely exploration of Bakklandet's cafés and the Ringve Music Museum's extraordinary instrument collections.

Day 11
Leknes
Arrive 08:00Depart 14:00
Leknes is the gateway to the heart of Norway's Lofoten Islands, an archipelago of jagged peaks, pristine Arctic beaches, and centuries-old fishing villages. Must-dos include hiking to viewpoints above the fjords, visiting the white-sand Haukland Beach, tasting fresh cod and king crab, and exploring the Viking Museum at Borg. Summer brings midnight sun and hiking, while winter offers northern lights and dramatic Arctic scenery.
Day 12
Day 12
Tromso
Arrive 07:00
Tromsø, perched 300 kilometers north of the Arctic Circle on its own island in a fjord-carved landscape of breathtaking severity, is the world's finest base for witnessing the northern lights — a phenomenon that illuminates the polar night here from late September through March with an intensity unmatched across Scandinavia. The city's striking Arctic Cathedral, vibrant university culture, and excellent Polar Museum trace Norway's heroic age of polar exploration, while dog sledding, snowshoeing, and whale-watching expeditions provide exhilarating encounters with the high Arctic wilderness. Summer's unbroken midnight sun offers an equally otherworldly experience beneath skies that never darken.
