LONDON / HMS BELFAST → COPENHAGEN
15 Nights on Star Pride
Spanning four countries and 16 ports from London to Copenhagen, this voyage traces the full arc of Northern Europe. Departing beneath Tower Bridge, a small ship exclusive, the route calls at eight Norwegian ports across ten days: Egersund and Haugesund, rarely visited by large ships; Art Nouveau Ålesund; the tender-only anchorage at Andalsnes with its Romsdalsfjord scenic cruising; Trondheim's Nidaros Cathedral, coronation church of Norwegian kings; the remote fishing island of Frøya; Olden and the Nordfjord; and Bergen's UNESCO Bryggen Wharf. Hamburg follows with an overnight stay before the Elbe carries the ship to the Kiel Canal, the world's busiest artificial waterway, where unrestricted deck access throughout the 8-hour transit makes this a small-ship exclusive experience. Warnemünde, Binz on Rügen, and Copenhagen close out the voyage.
Popular Highlights
Depart London from alongside HMS Belfast on the Thames, sailing beneath Tower Bridge as the ship passes into the estuary, a small-ship exclusive moment impossible on any large vessel.
Call at Egersund, a rarely visited Norwegian fishing town of whitewashed wooden houses and an old town quarter.
Explore Haugesund, home of Viking King Harald Fairhair, who unified Norway in 872. The Haraldshaugen national monument marks his burial site, while the nearby Avaldsnes Viking settlement at Bukkøy offers a working recreation of early Norse life.
Dock in Ålesund, Norway's Art Nouveau city, rebuilt in the decorative style after a fire in 1904, with rooftop views across the islands and a position at the gateway to the Geirangerfjord.
Tender ashore in Andalsnes, a small-ship-only stop at the head of the Romsdalsfjord, surrounded by some of Norway's most dramatic mountain scenery, before cruising the fjord as the ship departs.
Overnight in Hamburg, with a full evening in the Speicherstadt UNESCO warehouse district, the Elbphilharmonie concert hall, and the legendary Landungsbrücken waterfront before the Elbe carries the ship to the Kiel Canal.
Transit the Kiel Canal: the world's busiest artificial waterway by vessel count, handling more ship transits than the Panama and Suez Canals combined. Small ships have unrestricted deck access for the passage through the Schleswig-Holstein countryside.
Dock in Warnemünde, with Berlin reachable by train in 2.5 hours, then call at Binz on Rügen, where the UNESCO-listed Jasmund National Park and the Königsstuhl chalk cliffs are within easy reach.
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.
Sail the storied River Thames into or out of the heart of London, cruising beneath iconic Tower Bridge—a privilege only smaller ships can enjoy—and passing the Tower of London, the historic Royal Observatory at Greenwich marking the Prime Meridian, and the beautifully preserved Cutty Sark, the legendary 19th-century tea clipper. As you continue eastward, the skyline gradually gives way to the open waters of the English Channel.
A small ship exclusive port, Egersund is a charming coastal town nestled on the southwestern coast of Norw ay, in the picturesque region of Rogaland. With its rich maritime heritage, stunning natural landscapes, and vibrant cultural scene, Egersund offers visitors a delightful blend of history, outdoor adventures, and local charm. One of Egersund's main attractions is its thriving ceramic industry, which has flourished since the 19th century.
Haugesund offers the best of Norway with a fjord, waterfall, impressive coastline, city culture, unique Viking history and idyllic islands, all in one place. Situated between Stavanger and Bergen, between the sea and the mountains, this port lies in a scenic area of lush landscape, towering mountains and the energetic sea and is the starting point for exploring the Folgefonna glacier.
At the entrance to spectacular Geirangerfjord, Alesund has been voted the most beautiful town in Norway, and not only because of its location. The town burned to the ground in 1904 and was rebuilt in Art Nouveau style, with a few added elements from Nordic mythology - a longboat here, an image of Thor there.
ANDALSNES, Norway
TRONDHEIM, Norway
Frøya, Norway, is a picturesque island located in the Trøndelag region, known for its stunning coastal landscapes and vibrant fishing communities. The island offers a serene escape with its rugged cliffs, sandy beaches, and crystal-clear waters, making it a haven for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. Visitors can explore charming villages, enjoy fresh seafood, and experience traditional Norwegian culture. Frøya is also a gateway to the beautiful Frøya archipelago, perfect for boating, fishing, and wildlife watching.
The pleasant small village of Olden is located at the inner end of the 66-mile long Nordfjord, the sixth longest fjord in Norway. Long known for tourism and industry, it is now also famous for contemporary design. With fewer than 500 inhabitants Olden is an ideal destination for people who enjoy spending time in the great outdoors, and is the gateway to Jostedal, the largest glacier on the European mainland. If you can, find a bottle of Olden Mineral Water, as close as you will get to a glacier on tap.
Colorful Bryggen, Bergen's Hanseatic quay and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is so delightful you may find it difficult to explore further. But do. Watch the Huldras (forest nymphs) dance at Kjosfossen Waterfall, wander the narrow smau between the old buildings climbing the hillside.
Bridges arch over tranquil canals - more than you'll find in Venice. The spires of historic churches and the lovely Rathaus pierce the sky. It's hard to know where to begin your day. Stroll the Museum Mile for a lesson in history. Venture to Reeperbahn (the Red Light District) to see where the Beatles got their start. Or just shop along the "Mo" (Monckebergstrasse), Hamburg's version of Fifth Avenue.

The busiest artificial waterway in the world, busier than the Panama Canal and the Suez Canal combined, this 61-mile-long canal saves a 250-mile detour.
This beautiful Baltic resort is known for its long, wide expanse of startlingly white beach. Explore the unique mix of Gothic and Baroque architecture, and stroll the beach promenade. Or delve into World War II history with an optional tour in Berlin with famous landmarks like Checkpoint Charlie and the Berlin Wall and a UNESCO site like Museumsinsel.
Few people outside of Germany know about this Baltic jewel with its sandy beaches dotted with Stranskorbs (beach baskets) and elegant seaside walkway. The island was the preferred playground of the German elite during the late 1800s and its iconic Belle époch architecture will charm you, but there's lots more to recommend this secretive seaside resort. Binz is conveniently close to Jasmund National Park with its dramatic white chalk cliffs, as well as a U-boat museum. Climb the spiraling walkway at the Rügen Natural Heritage Center, circling around a soaring birch tree until you reach the viewing tower at the top. Or take the narrow gauge steam train to Jagdschloss Granitz, a dusty pink neo-Gothic hunting lodge/castle built in the 1830s.
This historic city of palaces, canals, and copper spires casts a sense of enchantment upon all who walk its cobbled streets. Little wonder that Copenhagen's favorite son, Hans Christian Andersen, was inspired to write some of the world's most beloved fairy tales here. Stroll the 17th century Nyhavn waterfront where Andersen once lived, complete with colorful row houses and historic tall ships. Enjoy world-class shopping on Strøget, the world's longest pedestrian street. Or find your amusement at world-famous Tivoli Gardens where tree-lined pathways lead to theaters, open air stages, restaurants, cafes, and over 80 attractions.
