About This Cruise
The 15 Night Arctic Circle & Northern Lights is a 15-night one-way itinerary aboard Holland America Nieuw Statendam. You board in Dover and disembark in Rotterdam (Amsterdam), calling at 11 ports across 3 countries along the way.
In sequence the voyage takes in England (Dover), Holland (Rotterdam), Norway (Alesund, Andalsnes, Trondheim and 4 more), Holland (Rotterdam), Norway (Eidfjord, Olden, Alesund and 1 more) and Holland (Rotterdam).
As a one-way sailing you'll fly into Dover and home from Rotterdam (Amsterdam), so it's worth checking the two gateways before you book. Longer hops are crossed on the 8 days at sea, keeping daylight hours for the ports. Sailing dates, cabin availability and fares vary by season — use Check Dates & Prices for live pricing, or call our team to talk through the options.
