Our 10-night journey begins in the historic British maritime hub of Portsmouth, before setting sail for Zeebrugge, gateway to Belgium's fairytale city of Bruges. We return to British shores, visiting Newcastle-upon-Tyne to discover a rich industrial heritage and proud Geordie culture, and Edinburgh, the majestic Scottish capital, where we have three days to explore its historic cobbled streets and experience the world-famous Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo. A day at sea brings us to the Norwegian coastal city of Kristiansand, characterized by wooden houses and white-sand beaches, before we reach Norway's cultured capital Oslo. Our next stop is Gothenburg in Sweden, with its Neoclassical architecture and maze of canals. Finally, we arrive in the Danish capital of Copenhagen, for a dose of sleek Scandi style.
