This is a pleasant time of year to visit some of Northern Europe’s most interesting cities. Casting off from Portsmouth, with its rich maritime history, our first destination is Zeebrugge in Belgium, a picturesque port that offers easy access to fairytale Bruges with its cobbled streets lined with medieval buildings. We sail onwards to IJmuiden for an overnight stay – perfect for exploring Amsterdam's canals and cultural treasures. We now return to British shores, visiting Newcastle-upon-Tyne to discover a rich industrial heritage and vibrant Geordie culture, and Edinburgh, the majestic Scottish capital. Continuing north, we stop at the Orkney Islands to unearth Neolithic sites and Viking heritage. A day at sea brings a chance to enjoy the onboard spa and sporting facilities before we arrive in Oslo, Norway’s capital, known for its striking architecture. Next, we head to Sweden’s west-coast town of Lysekil, framed by red-hued cliffs, before arriving in Copenhagen to enjoy two days in the enchanting Danish capital.

Blend your sense of adventure with the fabled cities of Northern Europe. Journey through the lands once home to kings and queens, castles and cathedrals; places that today strike a decidedly modern vibe.

Grand Journey

You would be hard pressed to find a city with a more significant naval heritage than Portsmouth. The world&#39;s oldest dry dock, it is home to some of history&#39;s most storied ships, including Lord Nelson&#39;s flagship at the Battle of Trafalgar, HMS Victory; Henry VII&#39;s Tudor warship, Mary Rose; and the world&#39;s first iron hulled armored ship, HMS Warrior. The city also has impressive cultural and entertainment credentials. It is the birthplace of author Charles Dickens and comedian Peter Sellers and has served as a shooting location for a variety of films, including the James Bond installment, Tomorrow Never Dies. For all its high-level associations, Portsmouth remains a wonderfully low-key destination. Enjoy a pass along the cobbled streets of the shopping district or step aboard a high-speed elevator of the Spinnaker Tower, the sail-inspired observation tower that rises 560 feet above the port to showcase magnificent views.

A crossroad in the English Channel for centuries, Zeebrugge is the gateway to Flanders, whose Golden Age heritage resides in three historic cities: Ghent, Antwerp and Bruges. Here, museums display the glories of the old Flemish masters, from Van Dyck to Rubens. Summertime is a delight, showcasing colorful flower-filled window boxes, the graceful arcs of windmills, a patchwork of farms and picturesque rivers. 

At just 17 miles from Amsterdam, many visitors to Ijmuiden opt to go straight to the capital. But, while the bright lights of the big city might be the biggest attraction, Ijmuiden provides easy access to many of the country&#39;s highlights. The vast beaches of Ijmuiden Strand are just 2 miles away and easily reachable by foot, while Haarlem, the Netherlands&#39; finest example of cafés, canals, cobbled streets and cosy bars is only 30-minutes by train.

From its comedy clubs and craft breweries to indie shops and nightclubs, this riverside city on England&#39;s northeast coast is a lively port of call. Newcastle and adjoining Gateshead, across the River Tyne, is a place where Victorian factories have been repurposed into art galleries and renowned live music venues, and handsome Grainger Town is home to some of Britain&#39;s best-preserved examples of Georgian architecture. Surrounded by sandy beaches and backed by steep, wooded valleys, the “Toon” is a great place for hiking and biking, as well as being gateway to Hadrian&#39;s Wall, the Roman fortifications running across the country just to the west.

Gateway to Edinburgh, this deepwater anchorage has a tender dock flanked by quayside shops and cafes. A former fishing community, Newhaven harbour dates to the 1480s; today the town has merged with cosmopolitan Leith where you&#39;ll find sourdough bakeries, art studios, chic bars, and some of Scotland&#39;s best chefs at work. It&#39;s also home to Britannia, the former Royal Yacht, now museum, that hosted the British royal family on foreign travels for almost 50 years before being decommissioned in 1997. A modern tram service connects Newhaven, Leith, and the historic sights of Edinburgh in 20 minutes.

A place of contrasts and balance, Kirkwall offers the high points of a large Scottish city – stellar local shopping and impressive historical sites like the St. Magnus Cathedral and ruins of the Bishop&#39;s Palace and Earl&#39;s Palace – as well as the charms of a small village. It is a relatively quiet ferry landing town that is also an excellent example of an ancient Norse settlement, making Kirkwall itself a living museum.

Begin with a panoramic journey through the pastoral scenery of Mainland, the largest of the Orkney Islands.

Visit the Ring of Brodgar, an awe-inspiring ceremonial stone circle crafted approximately 4,500 years ago. Situated on the Ness of Brodgar, this Neolithic monument once consisted of 60 towering stones forming a perfect circle; 27 of these majestic stones remain as a testament to ancient craftsmanship.On the return drive, pass the Standing Stones of Stenness, one of Britain&#39;s earliest henges, dating back 5,000 years. Towering above the surrounding countryside, these monumental stones evoke the ingenuity and cultural depth of Orkney&#39;s early inhabitants.This exceptional tour blends remarkable history with Orkney&#39;s rugged beauty, offering an unforgettable experience of discovery and wonder.

A Journey Through Classical Oslo

This west coast harbor, where the Gullmarsfjorden meets the sea, is a favorite haunt of Swedes, who come here to reconnect with the great outdoors and feast on oysters, mussels and other shellfish plucked from the bountiful local waters. While Lysekil built its fortunes on fishing, especially the herring shoals that patrol the Bohuslän coast, someone had the bright idea of promoting the virtues of the salty air and sea in the mid-19th century and turned this place into a fashionable health resort. You can still take a restorative dip in one of the baths, a later edition of the original Kallbadhuset. Overlooking it all is the neo-Gothic church cut from this coast&#39;s distinct pink granite.

Capital of the “World&#39;s Happiest Country,” Copenhagen is known for its colorful buildings, busy canals and cozy ambience. In this charming city, you can stroll the Tivoli Gardens, visit museums or join the cycling culture by touring on two wheels.
