For decadent luxury that sails hand-in-hand with personalised experience and in-depth access to world heritage, may we introduce Seabourn Cruises.
Blending nimble power and grace with beautifully designed spaces, Seabourn ships can be likened to lavish resorts. Except, uniquely, the staff already know you just as they also remember your favourite drink.
Dover, famed for its iconic white cliffs, is steeped in a past that stretches back to Roman times, offering visitors a living glimpse into England's strategic importance through the centuries. Cruise lines like Holland America and Princess Cruises frequently utilize Dover as a port of call due to its historical significance and proximity to unique attractions. The temperate climate makes it an ideal stop for exploring the lush landscapes and historic sites at a comfortable pace. Dover Castle, a commanding presence over the town, provides panoramic views and tales of ancient fortifications. A unique tidbit about Dover is its wartime tunnels, hidden beneath the castle, which played a crucial role during World War II.
Day 9
Antwerp
Belgium's second city frequently features on Dutch Waterways cruises, and it's easy to see why. Often dubbed a 'capital of cool', Antwerp is an excellent stop for cultural exploration. Spend your day spotting Art Nouveau façades, hunting for treasures in the fashion district or visiting the open-air sculpture park Middelheim. And don't miss the library at the Museum Plantin-Moretus, a UNESCO-listed site that celebrates the city's printing legacy.

Oslo
Oslo, Norway's capital, echoes with the footsteps of Vikings and boasts a maritime legacy dating back centuries. Cruise lines like Norwegian Cruise Line and Royal Caribbean embrace Oslo's waterfront charm, docking near iconic landmarks such as the Akershus Fortress and the Oslo Opera House. The city's temperate maritime climate provides mild summers and relatively mild winters, offering travelers comfortable exploration year-round. As a gateway to Norway's natural wonders, Oslo presents a genuine Scandinavian experience, showcasing authentic Nordic cuisine and local craftsmanship. Don't miss the Viking Ship Museum, home to remarkably preserved vessels from the Viking Age, revealing Oslo's rich seafaring past.

A magical trip, in ultimate luxury, in the days when Myanmar was a highlighted overnighter, a super sampling of all the Far East and Middle East has to offer. Still a fantastic journey today without the Burma experience.
These are cruises which are exceptional and would be hard to beat.Every luxury you could want for attention unbeatable. Hard to compare to other cruise lines
Wonderful journey and itinerary around Adriatic and Dalmation coast including Slovenia / Croatia / Montenegro / North Greece and East Italy.
Ship was delightful. Staff, service, suite, food etc all excellent.
Limited entertainment but that is not a problem to us.
Ports of call were all interesting and enjoyable .

Full marks to Seabourn and its team .
