Where this voyage takes you
Day-by-day itinerary
- Day1
Southampton
England's principal cruise homeport on the south coast, with deep docks that once launched the great ocean liners. Many transatlantic and Northern European sailings begin here, an hour or so by rail from London and close to the New Forest.
- Ocean liner heritage
- Gateway to London
- Tudor old town
- Day2
Zeebrugge
A North Sea port on the Belgian coast and the gateway to Bruges, about a quarter-hour inland by road. Zeebrugge itself is a working harbour and beach resort, while nearby Bruges draws visitors for its canals, belfry, and medieval market square.

- Belfry of Bruges
- Coastal tram
- Day3
Rotterdam
The Netherlands' great port city, rebuilt after wartime destruction into a showcase of bold modern architecture. The Erasmus Bridge spans the Maas, the cube houses tilt over the Oude Haven, and the covered Markthal anchors a skyline unlike anywhere else in the country.

Hamburg
Germany's largest port, set on the Elbe with more bridges than Venice and Amsterdam combined. The brick warehouses of the Speicherstadt and the wave-roofed Elbphilharmonie line the water, while the Reeperbahn nightlife district lies in St. Pauli nearby.
