Cruise Description

Seven Seas Voyager® harbors overtones of elegance, from the refined Penthouse Suites to the modern touches of the Voyager Lounge.

Bruges (Zeebrugge), Belgium
Zeebrugge is the gateway to Bruges, the capital of the Belgian province of West Flanders. Bruges was a wealthy city during medieval times when trade with Baltic ports flourished. The Zwin River, connecting Bruges with the North Sea, slowly began to narrow, marking the end of the city's great trade period. Today, visitors flock to Bruges to enjoy the charming, well-preserved medieval architecture lining the old and narrow roads and canals and to see some of Western Europe's finest artistic masterpieces.

Rotterdam, Netherlands
Rotterdam is the second most populated municipality in the Netherlands after the capital, Amsterdam. The name Rotterdam derives from a dam in the Rotte river. The port is the largest in Europe and was the world's busiest port from 1962 to 2004, when it was overtaken by Shanghai. The city is currently going through somewhat of a renaissance, with some urban renewal projects featuring ambitious architecture, an increasingly sparkling nightlife, and a host of festivals celebrating the city's multicultural population and identity.

Kristiansand, Norway
Discover cosmopolitan Kristiansund with its cultural, tranquil atmosphere, blend of contemporary and traditional architecture, and natural beauty woven throughout and beyond the city set on the shores of a sparkling fjord. Visit the old town, Posebyn, and admire the small, white wooden houses that speak of a bygone era. Stroll along the boardwalk to the town center and Fiskebrygga (fish market), enjoying the maritime history and fresh local seafood. Visit the Adger Nature Museum and Botanical Gardens for an overview of Norway’s history dating back to the Ice Age. Then go to Markens gate to browse the shops, making a turn onto Skippergada for a selection of smaller boutiques, galleries and cafés. Look for hand-knit sweaters, fine Norwegian glassware and local crafts in this picture perfect setting.

Oslo, Norway
Oslo is Norway's capital and largest city. Located at the head of the Oslofjord, the city is encircled by wooded hills and snowcapped peaks. Norway is a maritime nation with Oslo being the chief port for sea services from the Continent and England. Throughout Oslo’s 900-year history there have been many fires, and as a result it has a mixture of architectural styles. With a fairly compact city center, many of Oslo's attractions can be explored on foot.

Lysekil, Sweden
The seaside town of Lysekil is filled with incredible sights. Among them is Lysekil Church, whose granite was carved by hand and winched into place. The tower alone is 206 feet high and the spire rises more than 300 feet above sea level. Embark on a seal safari and see the rare Bohuslän in its true habitat or visit the Havets Hus, a saltwater aquarium where you can see and get the chance to touch some of the around 100 different species that live in the Gullmar Fjord.

Aarhus, Denmark
Denmark’s second-largest city boasts some of the country’ top cultural attractions, stunning architecture, a lively culinary scene and the upbeat vibe of a city on the rise. ARoS Aarhus Art Museum is home to the nation’s largest art collection outside of Copenhagen, while the relocated houses of living-history museum Den Gamle invite you to wander Scandinavian neighborhoods from the 19th century, 1920s and 1970s. Take in a pair of striking waterfront structures – the multi-angled Iceberg apartment building and minimalist Dokk1 – and the glass facades of Musikhuset, Scandinavia’s largest concert hall. Try traditional favorite Smørrebrød, the ‘king’ of Danish snacks, or sample New Nordic cuisine at one of Aarhus’s many stylish cafes and restaurants.

Kiel, Germany
With its proximity to Scandinavia along the 11-mile Kiel Fjord, this capital city of the northern Germany state of Schleswig-Holstein has a long and proud maritime history. It is also where the eastern lock of the world’s busiest artificial waterway – Kiel Canal – connects the North Sea to the Baltic and site of the annual Kiel Week, the largest sailing event in the world. Admire some of the 60,000 ships that traverse the canal every year on a stroll along the waterfront promenade known as the Kiellinie, perhaps stopping for a dessert called Rote Grütze at one of many inviting cafés and restaurants. For an atmospheric appreciation of Kiel’s fishing and seafaring history, explore the Schiffahrtsmuseum located within a Gothic Revival fish auction house.

Copenhagen, Denmark
Copenhagen, the royal capital of Denmark, is one of Europe's oldest capitals. It was a fishing village until the middle of the 12th century, but then grew in importance after being fortified in 1167. Because of its harbor, it soon became a place of commercial importance. Copenhagen has a long history well-integrated with today's modern life. Theaters, museums, art galleries and musical entertainment are among the attractions that make Copenhagen memorable.
