About This Cruise

In sequence the voyage takes in Holland (Rotterdam), Germany (Hamburg), Denmark (Aarhus, Copenhagen), Norway (Oslo, Kristiansand, Bergen and 1 more), England (Dover), Holland (Rotterdam) and 2 more, among others.
As a one-way sailing you'll fly into Rotterdam (Amsterdam) and home from Barcelona, so it's worth checking the two gateways before you book.
