Le Dumont D'Urville, 11 Night Cultural treasures and Scandinavian panoramas ex Rosyth, Scotland to Stockholm Sweden

From Edinburgh to Stockholm, PONANT brings you a brand-new 12-day cruise aboard Le Dumont-d’Urville, through the landscapes and cultural treasures of Scotland and Scandinavia.

On departing from Edinburgh, a city brimming with history and designated City of Literature by UNESCO, your ship will sail northward to Aberdeen. Its magnificent coast, boasting a remarkable nature reserve and majestic castles nearby, make Scotland’s third largest city, full of Gothic charm, an exceptional port of call.

You will sail towards Kirkwall, capital of the Orkney Islands, where numerous seabirds, such as gannets and European shags, have taken up residence.

Le Dumont-d’Urville will then set a course for Norway, its stunning scenery and its incredible cities and towns. On the southern coast, the colourful facades of Egersund stretch out along the curve of a fjord and the town’s industrial past, centred on fishing and earthenware production, is revealed. You will then sail along the coast to Arendal, called the Venice of the North due to its canals, before heading on to Oslo. Sitting on the edge of a fjord covered in greenery, the creative, multicultural, radiant capital of Norway reflects a deep attachment to its Viking and Scandinavian roots.

The next step of your voyage will take you to Gothenburg, in Sweden. The country’s main port and labelled City of Literature by UNESCO, it can be discovered via its pretty canals, cultural treasures and emblematic districts.

Next, Copenhagen, city of art and history, the charming Danish capital will not fail to surprise you with its easy lifestyle, cultural richness and exceptional heritage.

You will set a course for the charming fishing village of Gudhjem. Located on the small Danish island of Bornholm, it is very popular among the Danes for its gentle way of life and its beautiful landscapes of rock formations.

You will return to Sweden in Karlskrona. This city, whose history is intrinsically linked to the Swedish Navy, boasts exceptional UNESCO-listed architecture that is characteristic of late-17th-century European naval cities.

Le Dumont-d’Urville will then cruise toward the island of Gotland and Visby, one of the major sites of the Hanseatic League in the Baltic Sea around the 13th century, before making its way to Stockholm, your disembarkation port.

Featuring innovative and environmentally-friendly equipment, elegantly designed cabins, spacious suites with large windows, and lounge areas that open onto the outside, this new limited-capacity yacht boasting just 92 cabins and suites will offer you a truly unique cruising experience.

As the first ship in a new series that remains true to the Ponant spirit, Le Dumont d'Urville will embody the unique atmosphere that is the cruise line’s hallmark: a subtle blend of refinement, intimacy and comfort.
