Which option should you choose?

Daniel can help compare the Amsterdam 2028 sailings

The best Amsterdam option depends on what you want from the trip. A seven-night itinerary may suit a shorter city-led escape, the Norwegian Fjords sailing is stronger for scenery, and the Arctic Circle route suits a bigger adventure.

CITY

Best for cities

Consider Scandinavia & Stockholm Overnight or Scandinavia & Hamburg if you want architecture, culture and multiple city calls.

VIEW

Best for scenery

Norwegian Fjords and Arctic Circle & Norwegian Fjords are the strongest fits for landscape, fjords and cooler summer sailing.

B2A

Best for city-to-city travel

Western Europe: Barcelona to Amsterdam is a strong option if you want a wider holiday with different start and end cities.
