Day 1 - Southampton

Arrive: Fri 25 August 2028 / Depart: Fri 25 August 2028 at 18:00

Sail into this vibrant quay with enough shops and entertainment to form its own village. 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 you reflect on formal traditions, perfect your cockney accent and recall England’s green and pleasant lands.

Day 2 - Guernsey

Arrive: Sat 26 August 2028 at 08:00 / Depart: Sat 26 August 2028 at 16:00

Day 3 - Zeebrugge

Arrive: Sun 27 August 2028 at 09:00 / Depart: Sun 27 August 2028 at 19:00

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 Belgian sustainable culture, enjoy a classic waffle that melts in your mouth.

Day 4 - Amsterdam

Arrive: Mon 28 August 2028 at 09:00

Day 5 - Amsterdam

Depart: Tue 29 August 2028 at 09:00

Day 6 - Hamburg, Germany

Arrive: Wed 30 August 2028 at 09:00 / Depart: Wed 30 August 2028 at 19:00

Known as the gateway to the world and bearing the most bridges, immerse yourself with Hamburgers to the sound of canals and cuisine, architecture and music. Prepare to be submerged in culture; from affluent villas to modest Almshouses, the last castle, an inner-city lake, a floating landing platform, the neo-Renaissance Town hall, an industrial underground tunnel and baroque masterpiece, St Nicholas Church. Wander to the solid brick warehouse district of UNESCO Hafen City; touch the shining wave of glass of the futuristic Elbphilharmonie, listen to crystal clear acoustics that pair with Sydney’s Opera House and enjoy views of the River Elbe. Hamburg offers unique, memorable entertainment - for all your senses.

Day 7 - At Sea

Day 8 - Lysekil

Arrive: Fri 01 September 2028 at 08:00 / Depart: Fri 01 September 2028 at 18:00

Day 9 - Copenhagen, Denmark

Arrive: Sat 02 September 2028 at 07:00 / Depart: Sat 02 September 2028

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 Norrebro, Christiansborg Palace and the waterfront home of Christian Andersen. Genuine, vibrant and welcoming... rather like the smiles of those that live here.
