The Route
The voyage embarks in Copenhagen, departing at 18:00 towards Aarhus. Denmark’s second city is famed for Den Gamle By, a living open-air museum of historic architecture, as well as the ARoS Art Museum with its famous rooftop rainbow panorama walkway.
Next, the ship calls at Warnemünde on the German Baltic coast, known for its historic 1898 lighthouse and wide sandy beaches. Following a sea day through the North Sea, you reach Rotterdam, where striking modern landmarks such as the Erasmus Bridge and the colorful, food-filled Markthal await.
The itinerary then turns south into the Atlantic, calling at the historic naval port of Brest in Brittany, followed by Bilbao in northern Spain—home to Frank Gehry’s iconic titanium Guggenheim Museum and the vibrant pintxo bars of the Casco Viejo.
Further down the Iberian Atlantic coast, you dock in Leixões, the gateway to Porto, where colorful UNESCO-listed merchant houses flank the Douro river. After rounding the Iberian Peninsula into the Mediterranean, the ship visits sunny Málaga in Andalusia, home to the Picasso Museum and the hilltop Moorish Alcazaba fortress, before arriving at your final destination of Marseille after 13 nights.
