Aboard Marina with Oceania Cruises
Cruise Overview
Lying near the head of Southampton Water, a peninsula between the estuaries of the Rivers Test and Itchen, Southampton is Britain’s largest cruise port.
It has been one of England’s major ports since the Middle Ages, when it exported wool and hides from the hinterland and imported wine from Bordeaux.
The city suffered heavy damage during World War Two and as a result the centre has been extensively rebuilt, but there are still some interesting medieval buildings including the Bargate, one of the finest city gatehouses in England.
Don't tell the residents of Göteborg that they live in Sweden's "second city," but not because they will get upset (people here are known for their amiability and good humor).
They just may not understand what you are talking about.
People who call Göteborg (pronounced YOO-teh-bor; most visitors stick with the simpler "Gothenburg") home seem to forget that the city is diminutive in size and status compared to Stockholm.Spend a couple of days here and you'll forget, too.
You'll find it's easier to ask what Göteborg hasn't got to offer rather than what it has.
Culturally it is superb, boasting a fine opera house and theater, one of the country's best art museums, as well as a fantastic applied-arts museum.
There's plenty of history to soak up, from the ancient port that gave the city its start to the 19th-century factory buildings and workers' houses that helped put it on the commercial map.
For those looking for nature, the wild-west coast and tame green fields are both within striking distance.
And don't forget the food.
Since its inception in 1983, more than half of the "Swedish Chef of the Year" competition winners were cooking in Göteborg.
Known for the Kiel Canal and Kiel Week, the city boasts an important maritime history.
Kiel is also a great place to sight-see, do some shopping and take part in one of the many festivals taking place there.
