PORTS OF CALL
Amsterdam, Netherlands
Amsterdam is far more than a convenient departure point for your Northern European cruise; it’s a world-class destination that deserves to be the first or final chapter of your journey. Many cities are beautiful, but few possess the unique, intimate charm of Amsterdam. It’s a place where 17th-century Golden Age grandeur sits comfortably alongside a progressive, modern spirit. We strongly encourage you to bookend your cruise with at least two or three days here to truly absorb its atmosphere. Rushing through Amsterdam is missing the point entirely.
**Why You Should Arrive Early or Stay Late**
Unlike sprawling capitals that require complex transit, Amsterdam’s core is a compact, walkable masterpiece. The cruise terminal itself is conveniently located, just a short tram ride or a pleasant 20-minute walk from Centraal Station, the city’s main hub. This accessibility makes it easy to settle into your hotel and begin exploring immediately. The city’s true magic isn’t just in its famous museums, but in the moments between: sipping a coffee in a cozy ‘bruin café’ (brown café), discovering a hidden courtyard garden (hofje), or simply watching the city life unfold from a canal-side bench. This is the essence of Dutch ‘gezelligheid’—a word that loosely translates to a feeling of cozy contentment—and it’s the best souvenir you can take home.
**A Suggested Itinerary for Your Pre- or Post-Cruise Stay**
**Day 1: Canal Rings & The Weight of History**
Your first day should begin on the water. A canal cruise is the quintessential Amsterdam experience and the perfect orientation. Our advice: forgo the large, crowded glass-topped boats. Instead, opt for a smaller, open-air boat tour. The commentary is more personal, you can ask questions, and the perspective from water level, with the sounds and smells of the city around you, is far more immersive. You’ll glide beneath historic bridges and past the elegant, gabled canal houses that are the city’s signature.
In the afternoon, prepare for one of the most profound experiences in Europe: the Anne Frank House. This is not just a museum; it is a place of pilgrimage and quiet reflection. **Critical advice:** You absolutely must book your tickets online, often two to three months in advance. Tickets are released on a specific schedule, and they sell out almost instantly. Spontaneous visits are not possible. Walking through the secret annex is a deeply moving experience that will stay with you long after you leave.
For the evening, lose yourself in the Jordaan district. Once a working-class neighborhood, it’s now a labyrinth of narrow streets, charming canals, independent art galleries, and unique boutiques. It’s the perfect place for an unstructured wander. Settle into a traditional brown café for a local beer or find an ‘eetcafé’ for a hearty Dutch meal like stamppot (mashed potatoes with vegetables) if the weather is cool.
**Day 2: A Masterclass in Art**
Dedicate your second day to the Museumplein (Museum Square), home to a trio of world-class institutions. Start at the magnificent Rijksmuseum, the national museum of the Netherlands. While Rembrandt’s ‘The Night Watch’ is the undisputed star, give yourself time to explore the entire collection, which tells the story of 800 years of Dutch art and history, from ship models to Delftware. The building itself is a work of art.
Just across the square is the Van Gogh Museum. This modern space houses the world’s largest collection of his work, brilliantly organized to take you on a chronological and emotional journey through his life. Seeing the vibrant colors of ‘Sunflowers’ or the swirling energy of ‘The Starry Night’s’ sister paintings up close is unforgettable. As with the Anne Frank House, pre-booking your timed-entry ticket online is essential to avoid long lines and potential disappointment.
After a day immersed in art, decompress with a stroll through the adjacent Vondelpark, Amsterdam’s largest green space. For dinner, venture into the vibrant De Pijp neighborhood. Known for its bohemian vibe and diverse culinary scene, it’s where you’ll find everything from Surinamese restaurants to trendy bistros, all with a more local, less tourist-focused feel.
**Beyond the Checklist: Authentic Amsterdam**
If you have more time, consider these experiences:
* **Taste of the Netherlands:** Don’t leave without trying a few local specialties. Grab a fresh, warm stroopwafel from a street market vendor, sample herring from a ‘haringhandel’ (herring cart—ask for it ‘broodje haring’ on a bun with pickles and onions), and find a cheese shop for a proper tasting of aged Gouda and other Dutch varieties.
* **Neighborhood Exploration:** Beyond the Jordaan and De Pijp, explore the Nine Streets (De Negen Straatjes), a charming micro-neighborhood famous for its vintage shops, designer boutiques, and specialty stores.
* **Transportation:** While the city is walkable, the tram system is excellent for covering longer distances. Purchase a multi-day GVB pass for unlimited travel. While cycling is the Dutch way of life, we caution first-time visitors against it in the city center. The traffic is fast-paced and follows unwritten rules; it can be more stressful than enjoyable for the uninitiated.
By giving yourself the gift of time in Amsterdam, you transform a simple port of call into a rich, rewarding destination that will perfectly complement the adventures that await you at sea.
At Sea - Cruising
Waterford (Dunmore East), Ireland
Your arrival point is the picturesque fishing village of Dunmore East, a charming introduction to Ireland's "Sunny South East." While the village itself, with its thatched cottages and scenic cliff walk, is a pleasant spot, the main destination is a short drive away: Waterford, the country's oldest city.
Founded by Vikings in 914, Waterford's compact historic core, the "Viking Triangle," is easily explored on foot. Here, a trio of excellent museums tells the city's story: Reginald's Tower, a stone fortress housing Viking artifacts; the Medieval Museum, with its stunning 15th-century vestments; and the elegant Bishop's Palace, which details the city's Georgian past.
The city's most famous export is, of course, its crystal. A visit to the House of Waterford Crystal is essential for anyone interested in craftsmanship. The factory tour provides a fascinating, up-close look at the entire process, from the intense heat of the blowing room to the meticulous detail of the master cutters and engravers. Waterford offers a focused and rewarding day, combining a deep dive into Viking history with an appreciation for world-renowned artistry.
Dublin (Dun Laoghaire), Ireland
Your port of arrival, Dún Laoghaire, is a charming Victorian seaside town, but the main event is Dublin, a short and scenic DART train ride away. Dublin is a city that wears its immense history and literary soul with a casual, welcoming grace. It’s a capital that feels more like a collection of villages, eminently walkable and filled with discoveries.
The essential first stop for many is Trinity College, an oasis of cobblestone squares and scholarly calm in the city center. The main draw is the 9th-century Book of Kells, a masterpiece of medieval art. However, the true spectacle is the Long Room library that houses it—a breathtaking, two-story cathedral of books that seems to hold the collective memory of the nation.
From there, Dublin unfolds. You can trace the country’s turbulent path to independence at sites like Dublin Castle and the GPO on O’Connell Street, the headquarters of the 1916 Easter Rising. For a taste of modern Dublin, the energy of Grafton Street, with its high-end shops and talented buskers, is infectious. While the Temple Bar district is famous, its pubs can be crowded; we recommend wandering a few blocks away to find more traditional pubs where conversation and live music flow as freely as the stout.
No visit is complete without acknowledging the city’s most famous export. The Guinness Storehouse is less a brewery tour and more a multi-story, interactive museum dedicated to the 'black stuff.' The experience culminates in the Gravity Bar, offering a complimentary pint and what is arguably the best panoramic view of the Dublin skyline. Given the limited time in port, it’s wise to choose two or three key interests and explore them well rather than rushing to see everything. The city’s true character is found not just in its landmarks, but in the warmth and wit of its people.
Liverpool, England
Liverpool greets you directly at its historic heart. Your ship docks at Pier Head, placing you immediately before the "Three Graces," the trio of majestic buildings that define one of the world's most famous waterfronts. This exceptional access makes Liverpool an incredibly rewarding and walkable port of call.
The city's cultural gravity is undeniable, and while the legacy of The Beatles is a primary draw, it's just one layer of a complex and compelling destination. A short stroll leads to the Royal Albert Dock, a stunning example of Victorian industrial architecture masterfully repurposed into a cultural hub. Here you can explore The Beatles Story museum, but don't miss the outstanding national museums also housed in these brick warehouses. The Maritime Museum chronicles the city's seafaring past, while the powerful International Slavery Museum offers a sobering and essential perspective on the history that built much of that wealth. For modern art enthusiasts, the Tate Liverpool is also conveniently located here.
Beyond the docks, the city's spirit unfolds. Music fans can make the pilgrimage to Mathew Street and the legendary Cavern Club. For a grander sense of scale, consider a taxi or a longer walk to the city's two astonishingly different cathedrals: the soaring, traditional Anglican Cathedral and the strikingly modern, circular Metropolitan Cathedral. Liverpool is not a city of quaint English charm; it is a proud, resilient, and deeply creative place with a story to tell on every corner.
Belfast, Northern Ireland
Belfast presents a compelling duality: a city reborn from a complex past and the gateway to one of the world's most dramatic coastlines. The choice of how to spend your day here is the most significant one you'll make. The city itself is anchored by the Titanic Quarter, home to the stunning, architecturally significant Titanic Belfast. This is not a dusty museum, but an immersive experience that tells the story of the legendary ship from its conception and construction to its tragic end. Nearby, you can board the SS Nomadic, the last remaining White Star Line vessel.
For a deeper understanding of the city's more recent history, a Black Cab tour is essential. These tours, often led by drivers with personal connections to the era, provide a balanced and poignant narrative of 'The Troubles' as you view the political murals of the Shankill and Falls Roads and the towering Peace Wall that still divides them. Alternatively, the city center is a vibrant hub of Victorian architecture, centered around the magnificent City Hall and the lively St. George's Market.
The alternative is a full-day excursion north to the Antrim Coast. This journey showcases the UNESCO-listed Giant's Causeway, an extraordinary landscape of 40,000 interlocking basalt columns, and the scenic coastal drive is an attraction in itself. Be advised, this is an all-or-nothing trip; committing to the coast means forgoing a proper exploration of Belfast. The decision rests on your priorities: profound urban history or breathtaking natural wonder.
Glasgow (Greenock), Scotland
It's important to know that your port of call is Greenock, a town on the River Clyde located about 45-60 minutes by train or coach from central Glasgow. While Greenock itself has modest charms, the primary destination is Scotland's largest and most dynamic city.
Glasgow is a city of striking contrasts, where grand Victorian architecture stands alongside modern design, and a proud industrial past has given way to a vibrant, creative present. Once you arrive, the city is very walkable. A great starting point is George Square, the city's civic heart, surrounded by impressive municipal buildings. From there, you can explore the high-end shops of the 'Style Mile' or the more independent boutiques and restaurants of the Merchant City.
For art and culture, the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum is a world-class institution with an astonishingly diverse collection, from Salvador Dalí's 'Christ of Saint John of the Cross' to a WWII Spitfire. Admission is free, making it an excellent use of time. Architecture enthusiasts should seek out the works of Charles Rennie Mackintosh, the city's most famous design visionary. While the Glasgow School of Art remains closed after a fire, you can still appreciate his style at the Willow Tea Rooms.
For a dose of history, the medieval Glasgow Cathedral is a magnificent example of Gothic architecture, and the adjacent Necropolis offers panoramic city views from its atmospheric, hilltop perch. If a city excursion feels too rushed, an alternative is a trip to the bonnie banks of Loch Lomond, offering a classic taste of Scottish scenery just a short drive from the port.
Lerwick (Shetland), Scotland
Lerwick is the heart of the remote Shetland Islands, an archipelago where rugged landscapes are deeply etched with Norse and Scottish history. This is not a destination of grand monuments, but of authentic, resilient culture. The town itself is best explored on foot, starting from the historic waterfront and wandering through the narrow, flagstone-paved lanes. The absolute highlight is the Shetland Museum and Archives, a superb modern facility that brilliantly tells the story of the islands' unique geology, archaeology, and maritime heritage. A short walk from the town center leads to the Clickimin Broch, an impressive Iron Age stone tower offering a tangible connection to Shetland's ancient past. For a piece of local culture, seek out the shops selling world-renowned Fair Isle and Shetland knitwear. While you may spot the famous hardy ponies in nearby fields, a short taxi ride or local tour is the most reliable way to see them. Lerwick offers a compelling look into a distinctive corner of the world, rewarding the curious traveler with a strong sense of place and history.
Inverness/Loch Ness, Scotland
Inverness is the celebrated gateway to the myth-steeped Scottish Highlands, a region of dramatic landscapes and profound history. A crucial piece of advice for planning your day: most ships dock at Invergordon, a port about a 45-minute drive from Inverness, making organized tours or private transport essential for reaching the key sites.
The region’s main draw is the deep, dark water of Loch Ness. While the legend of its monster endures, the real magic lies in the moody, atmospheric scenery and the dramatic ruins of Urquhart Castle clinging to its shores. For those compelled by history, a visit to Culloden Battlefield is a powerful and deeply moving experience. Walk the windswept moor where the final Jacobite Rising came to a tragic end in 1746; the excellent visitor centre provides crucial context to the battle that reshaped Scotland. Just a short drive away, the Clava Cairns transport you back 4,000 years to a prehistoric era of rituals and burials among standing stones.
For a taste of feudal grandeur, the 15th-century Cawdor Castle offers a fairytale-like experience with its stunning gardens and literary connection to Shakespeare's *Macbeth*. The city of Inverness itself is a pleasant hub, with lovely walks along the River Ness and views of its modern, red-sandstone castle. Of course, no visit is complete without sampling the region's 'water of life.' Many excursions include a stop at a local distillery for a tour and a 'wee dram' of single malt Scotch whisky, a perfect way to toast a day in the Highlands.
