Maritime Capitals of Northern Europe
May 10, 2027 — May 18, 2027
Starting from
LONDON / HMS BELFAST → LONDON / HMS BELFAST
8 Nights on Star Pride
Travel from London to Amsterdam and back again on a thoughtfully paced Northern Europe itinerary shaped by river access and overnight stays. Small-ship sailing allows passage beneath Tower Bridge and docking in city centers, with extended time in London for museums, markets, and historic neighborhoods, and overnights in Antwerp to explore Flemish art, fashion, diamonds, and dining after dark. Along the way, Bruges offers medieval streets, canals, and chocolate traditions; Harlingen reveals a working Dutch harbor with deep maritime roots; and Honfleur invites strolls along its old basin of half-timbered houses and access to Normandy’s coast.
Popular Highlights
Sail beneath London’s Tower Bridge, a small-ship experience reserved for very few vessels and dock steps from HMS Belfast in central London for immediate city access.
Wander Bruges’ medieval streets and canals straight from the port at Oostende.
Discover Harlingen, a working Dutch harbor rarely visited by cruise ships.
Honfleur serves as a gateway to Normandy’s historic coastline and countryside.
Antwerp’s historic center sits close enough to explore on foot from the ship.
London, one of the world's top destinations, is a city begging to be explored. Steeped in history, the well-known sites of Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, and Trafalgar Square beckon, or get a modern perspective from the top of the London Eye. This cosmopolitan city offers all the world cuisines you're used to, but there are still places to find traditional British fare like bangers and mash or shepherds' pie.
This popular beach resort draws thousands of Belgians and British daytrippers for its sun, sailing, surfing, and casino. As a busy ferry port for more than 150 years, Oostende also provides quick access to Bruges and Ghent, two of Belgium's most attractive destinations.
This historic harbor town has a long history of fishing and shipping, and is filled with old canals, well-preserved merchants' houses, and 17th century warehouses. Wander through town to the 18th century City Hall and wait for the next hour or half hour when the carillon will chime its pretty melody, or enjoy a pleasurable scavenger hunt as you search for gable stones. These carved and often painted stone tablets were set into the walls of buildings in olden times to help people navigate the streets before the advent of house numbers. Many give you clues to the building's former purpose.
Amsterdam, the Venice of the North, where more than 1,500 bridges arch gracefully over scenic canals. The stately 17th century homes of Dutch merchants line the canals and museums are everywhere, filled with masterpieces from the Dutch Golden Age. Most of the sightseeing essentials are conveniently collected in the Canal Ring, the central area of the city which is designated as a UNESCO site. Here you'll find the Anne Frank House, the Royal Palace, the Red Light District, and most of the museums. Mind all the bicycles!
Sitting on the estuary where the Seine River meets the English Channel, the charming character of this harbor town has been the subject of artists like Claude Monet and Eugene Boudin. The 15th century St. Catherine's church is an interesting vaulted timber structure built by shipbuilders. And a walk along the edge of the Honfleur Estuary will pass town gardens, beaches, and a view of the Normandy Bridge. You can also find the intriguing local cider along the Route du Cidre.
