Buzz’s comments on his Cruise from Copenhagen to London on the Seabourn Ovation August 2026

Pending. This was a free cruise!

SAT 01AUG26 Sail from Copenhagen, Denmark

SUN 02AUG26 Skagen, Denmark

MON 03AUG26 Gothenburg, Sweden I booked a 6.5 hour excursion: Northern Islands & Gothenburg City - A guided walking tour introduces you to Gothenburg. In the heart of the city you will pass Götaplatsen, with its famous Poseidon Fountain by Carl Milles. The Museum of Fine Arts, the Concert Hall and the Municipal Theatre are also located at Götaplatsen.

Watch for the Opera House, and the Maritime Center, as well as the Lisberg Amusement Park.

Next, enjoy some free time in the city before heading out on the water. The Ockero municipality is spread over 10 islands and is connected to the mainland by a 25-minute ferry ride. Ockero is home to many fishing boats and boathouses. This genuine archipelago environment gets you close to arctic flora, ancient relics and stunning views. Once you're ashore in the archipelago, a panoramic drive will introduce you to the captivating islands of Ockero and Halso. Step inside the old Ockero Church, dating back to the Middle Ages. At the local folklore center, a snack, including coffee and a pastry, is served before you head to Hono and Foto Islands. As you cross the bridge between Foto and Hono, take in the extensive and breathtaking view of the archipelago. Once on Hono Island, join your guide for a walking tour through the typical old village, where the fishing huts are nestled among the imposing granite landscape of the archipelago. You'll return to Gothenburg by ferry afterwards.

TUE 04AUG26 Oslo, Norway

WED 05AUG26 Mandal (Kristiansand), Norway

THU 06AUG26 Sea Day

FRI 07AUG26 Antwerp, Belgium I booked an 8 hour excursion - The Best of Bruges - Bruges in French, or Brugge in Flemish, is an exquisitely preserved medieval town. It had the good fortune to be linked to the sea by a navigable waterway, and the city became a leading member of the Hanseatic League in the 13th century, when the town established Europe's first stock exchange. As you enter the historical Old Town of Bruges, its medieval atmosphere is immediately evident. Cobblestone streets twist and turn, and centuries-old buildings tower over the main canals. You'll take a guided walk through the picturesque city, passing Market Place with its merchant guild houses, the Belfry Tower, Town Hall and Gothic-style Chapel of the Holy Blood. You will see the beauty of medieval Bruges from a different perspective during a 30-minute guided canal boat cruise. Take advantage of some free time to browse independently in Bruges, exploring at your leisure and having lunch on your own. Finally, your guide will lead you past the Lake of Love as you return to the coach for the drive back to the ship.

SAT 08AUG26 Debark Ship Dover (London), England, UK
