14 nætter fra Rotterdam, Holland med Nieuw Statendam

Often called the gateway to Europe, the port city of Rotterdam is full of old-world charm. The harbor offers amazing views and a maze of wharves and canals, along with towering spires make for a beautiful sight. Take a stroll and duck into one of the pubs or eateries along the way. Only three pre World War II buildings in the city centre have survived and are worth a look – city hall, St. Laurence church and the White House. Explore the Museum Boymans van Beuningen, which houses a unique collection dating from the 14th century, or the Museum Voor Volkenkunde – home to ethnological exhibits. Exquisite architecture can be seen in many areas of Rotterdam, most notably in the Delfshaven quarter of the city – where 18th century houses are on display. For a laugh, check out Kijk-Kubus, an upside-down house.

The skirl of Highland bagpipes calls you ashore. Go in search of your clan tartan, and “Nessie,” the spurious monster often sighted in Loch Ness.

Lerwick er med sine 7.500 indbyggere den eneste by på Shetlandsøerne. Her kan skibet ikke lægge til og du vil blive sejlet i land i tenderbåde. Lokalbefolkningen har stærke rødder i den maritime historie og i musikken. Som et bedårende mix af Skotland og Norge, tilbyder Shetlandsøerne en overflod af unikke naturoplevelser og dyreliv. Tag en smuk gåtur ud til The Knab, der er Lerwicks sydligste spids. På vejen kan du iagttage de forrevne klipper og udsigten til Bressay. På gåturen er det også oplagt at lægge vejen forbi stentårnet Broch of Clickimin, der ligger lige ud til søen, Clickimin Loch. På tilbagevejen kan du besøge det charmerende rådhus og ikke mindst Fort Charlotte.

Belfast has emerged from decades of conflict to become one of Ireland’s most intriguing cities. In the 19th century, its location on the banks of the River Lagan made it an industrial center for ropemaking, shipbuilding, tobacco and textiles. And this legacy shaped much of its architecture: Grand Edwardian and Victorian municipal buildings and warehouses are found throughout the city alongside telltale scars of its more recent past. While the legacy of Belfast’s complex conflict known as The Troubles still looms, there are many other sides of Northern Ireland‘s capital to explore, from the quaint streets of the Cathedral Quarter to the newly regenerated Titanic Quarter, where the ill-fated RMS Titanic was constructed. Belfast is also gathering momentum as an up-and-coming gourmet destination, with a new generation of chefs producing food to get excited about. Beyond the city limits, County Down and neighboring County Antrim have a wealth of things to see and do. Any lingering negative preconceptions will evaporate after a short time in this fascinating and welcoming city.
