Silver Spirit: 23-Night Europe - Northern

Stockholm is Sweden's capital and the largest city in Scandinavia, built across 14 islands where Lake Malaren meets the Baltic Sea. The approach by cruise ship through the Stockholm Archipelago, a chain of roughly 30,000 islands stretching 80 kilometers east of the city, is consistently rated one of the most scenic port arrivals in Europe.

Copenhagen cruise port is the main cruise gateway to Scandinavia and one of the most important embarkation ports for Baltic and Norwegian fjord itineraries. The city has three cruise terminals.

Oslo is Norway's capital, home to about 700,000 people in a city wrapped around the head of the Oslofjord with forested hills rising on every side. The city has undergone a dramatic transformation over the past two decades, with the harbor district rebuilt from industrial docks into a waterfront of museums, restaurants, and public spaces anchored by the angular white marble Opera House.

London (Southampton) cruise port is the busiest cruise departure point in the United Kingdom and one of the largest in Northern Europe. The port sits in Southampton, a city on England's southern coast about 80 miles southwest of London.

Dover is one of England's busiest cruise ports, sitting on the Kent coast at the narrowest point of the English Channel, just 21 miles from Calais, France. The White Cliffs of Dover, the chalky coastal escarpment visible from sea, are England's most recognized natural landmark and the first or last thing passengers see as they arrive or depart.
