Modern and lively, this coastal town bustles with waterfront restaurants, heritage charm, bars, cinemas and offers great access to other spots in the South of England. Sit back and drift through heavenly countryside to ancient Stonehenge, see if the King is at home in Windsor, learn secrets from the Bombay Sapphire gin distillery or slip up to London for some rich British culture. Then enjoy a cup of tea as ... ### Day 2: Bruges (Zeebrugge) **Arrives:** 09:00 AM · **Departs:** 05:00 PM Fill your senses with wonderful Flemish flavour in UNESCO-praised Bruges. Relax amongst tree-lined canals and cobbled pathways to learn secrets of the city’s world-famous chocolate. Partake in beer tasting, beer blending and beer sinking. Explore the medieval streets of the old town for classic cathedrals, gabled facades and unique Art Deco taverns. Head out to the pretty countryside, ride along canals and shop for comic books, lace and yet more chocolate. And as you slowly savour the taste of B... ### Day 3: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 4: Bergen, Norway **Arrives:** 09:00 AM · **Departs:** 07:00 PM Lovingly known as the ‘heart of the fjords’, this city nestled between seven mountains has plenty to live up to. Burrowed between the mighty Hardangerfjord and Sognefjord fjords – the biggest in Norway – the sensational beauty of Bergen is best appreciated from the top of the funicular, Fløibanen. Flightsee around the peak for a summit advantage to enjoy panoramic views of this city’s beauty. Hike to Fløyen or mountain bike to visit the UNESCO World Heritage Site at Bryggen, before winding down ... ### Day 5: Flåm **Arrives:** 09:00 AM · **Departs:** 07:00 PM Nested deep between towering mountains are narrow valleys, a mile-deep fjord and a little village called Flåm. Surrounded by breathtaking beauty, visit the Borgund Stave Church museum or board the astonishing Flåmsbana train, often titled the world's most beautiful rail journey. Climb aboard and witness waterfalls, fjords and farms so remote you wonder how they got there. Fish, cycle or experience a RIB safari through the slender Nærøyfjord - part of the UNESCO world heritage - as you appreciate... ### Day 6: Nordfjordeid, Norway **Arrives:** 09:00 AM · **Departs:** 07:00 PM ### Day 7: Rosendal **Arrives:** 09:00 AM · **Departs:** 06:00 PM ### Day 8: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 9: Copenhagen, Denmark **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 06:00 PM Rejoice in one of the happiest and most vibrant capital cities in the world. Relax like a local alongside joyful Danes and varied culture; the Gefion Fountain, the Little Mermaid statue, Old Citadel, the Amalien Palace with four Rococo buildings, medieval history, charming fishing villages, leading examples of sustainable living and - of course - flaky Danish pastries. Cycling is the preferred way to shuttle across town and it’s well worth the pedal to enjoy the trendy, cosy neighbourhood of No... ### Day 10: Aarhus **Arrives:** 09:00 AM · **Departs:** 07:00 PM ### Day 11: Lysekil(Gotaland) **Arrives:** 09:00 AM · **Departs:** 07:00 PM ### Day 12: Oslo **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 08:00 PM Not many cities are greener – in habitat or sustainability - than Oslo. With over half Norway’s capital city being covered by forests and parks, it’s only natural that the fjord creeps into the city centre. Nature aside, there’s so much more to explore; music, museums, opera, the Vigeland Sculpture Park and one of the world’s most beautiful libraries. Learn about the works of Edvard Munch and the importance of climate change or attend a private aquavit tasting and the Royal Palace. Embark on an ... ### Day 13: Mandal **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 05:00 PM ### Day 14: Amsterdam **Arrives:** 06:00 PM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM ### Day 15: Amsterdam **Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 06:00 PM ### Day 16: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 17: Southampton, UK **Arrives:** 07:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM Sail into this vibrant quay with enough shops and entertainment to form its own village.
