OCE A N CRUISES In 2015, we introduced our award-winning river cruise philosophy to the oceans. Today, our eight state-of-the-art sister ships sail through Scandinavia and Northern Europe, the Mediterranean, the Americas, Asia and beyond. Accommodating just 930 guests, our ocean ships are designed to take you right into the heart of each destination, docking in ports that are inaccessible to larger vessels. Plus, with fewer sailing days and more time spent in port, our enriching itineraries allow you to immerse yourself in the history and culture of each city in more depth. On board, discover serene, open spaces filled with natural light, as well as alfresco dining areas and chic staterooms complete with private verandas. You will also notice subtle, stylish nods to our Nordic heritage — from the teak and limestone accents to colourful tapestries and window treatments.

Your Own Private Veranda All staterooms and suites have kingsize beds. They also feature a private veranda, because everyone deserves not just a view, but a veranda on which to sit and take it all in.

Choice of Eight Dining Options Variety is the spice of life, so we give you eight dining options to choose from. No hidden surcharges — it is all complimentary.

Spa Facilities Chill out in the Snow Grotto. Step into the steam room. Relax on a heated bed. Unwind in the hydrotherapy pool.

Premium Beverages Enjoy premium wine, beer and soft drink with your lunch and dinner, in the dining venue of your choice.

Tea & Coffee Help yourself to specialty teas, coffees and bottled water at any time on board.

24-Hour Room Service For those days when you feel like breakfast in bed or dinner under the stars. It is complimentary.
