Day at sea. Freestyle cruising means a world of dining opportunities: Steak, Sushi, Teppanyaki, Tapas, French, Mediterranean, Asian Fusion, Italian, Tex-Mex, Buffets… Freestyle cruising also means that restaurants are open for dinner from 17:30 to midnight with seating until 22:30. Do your thing and catch dinner when you're hungry, not when the dinner bell rings. Freestyle Cruising is not too dressy, not too casual. We call it “resort casual”, you will call it being on holiday. When you're ready for dinner, it’s collared shirts and pants or nice jeans for men, slacks or jeans, dresses, skirts and tops for women.

Bergen has a beautiful setting between several mountains and the sea, sheltered by a myriad of islands from the North Sea. The Norwegian Kings resided here, and many historical events took place in this busy port. Pay a visit to the Fish Market on your way to the Bryggen Hanseatic Quarters. Bergen has seven mountains, and we recommend that you take the funicular to the top of Mount Flöien, 1 000 feet above the city. The ride takes about five minutes and travels at a 26 degree incline, stopping for commuters along the way. At the summit, be prepared for magnificent views of the city, harbor, and countryside, weather permitting.

Welcome to Dublin or Baile Átha Cliath as Ireland's capital is called in Irish. This is a city steeped in history, tragic and glorious, with haunting memories of great patriots, statesmen, scientists and scholars. There are fine buildings and friendly people. Few capitals are so beautifully situated. Dublin Bay forms a sweeping crescent from the Hill of Howth to Dalkey. A salt wind blows into the heart of the city and the slopes of the Wicklow Hills seem to rise at the end of every street in the southern suburbs. Dublin is so compact a city it has been described as a capital in miniature.
