Itinerary

Map

					Arrive	Depart
	13th13	JulJul	202525	Southampton, England, embark on the Independence Of The Seas		17:00
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.
	14th14	JulJul	202525	Rotterdam, Netherlands	10:30	16:30
Rotterdam is a city that's a long way removed from most people's stereotypical notion of the Netherlands. There are few, if any, canals to be found here nor are there any quaint windmills. There is, however, a thriving modern city which is one of the busiest ports in the entire world.
	15th15	JulJul	202525	At Sea
	16th16	JulJul	202525	Skjolden, Norway	10:30	18:00
Discover the uninhabited Island of Skjoldungen, surrounded by a stunning fjord. Its stunning landscape brings together mountains, glacial valleys, rocky outcrops, tundra and willow forests, creating an unmissable show. In this pristine landscape is also quite common to see bearded seals, orcas and birds such as the common redpoll, the northern wheatear, or the common raven.
	17th17	JulJul	202525	Olden, Norway	09:00	17:00
See the aqua blue ice of the Jostedal Glacier cascading down the stunning Oldedalen Valley, as you navigate the spindly fjords of Norway. Feel your breath catching in your throat, as you sail into this world of wonder, and the dramatic fjord scenery and interlocking valleys inspire you. The village of Olden opens up some of Norway's most majestic natural wonders, from the glacier - which is mainland Europe's largest - to the sloshing waterfalls that run off it, and the bowing forests that sway all around it. A visit to picturesque Olden is all thrilling panoramas and hikes through wildflower sprinkled trails. The Briksdalsbreen arm of ice, reaches out from the main glacier, and sits around an hour's stroll from the village of Olden itself - regular busses can also take you there. Snaking through steep-sided valleys, you can enjoy a walk close to the foot of the ice, and feel the spray of the waterfalls that plummet nearby, as you breathe in some of the freshest air you’ve ever tasted. The crisp glacial meltwater is so clean and pure that it’s bottled up to be sold across Norway.

Giovanni's Table

EAT MORE ITALIAN

Every meal at Giovanni’s Table is a family-style celebration of rustic Italian flavour. You’ll find all your favourite Old-World classics on the menu here, like house focaccia served with marinated artichokes, olives and pesto, fluffy gnocchi tossed in a thyme-scented sauce of lamb and root vegetables, traditional risotto finished with porcini and truffle mushroom tapenade and veal osso buco paired with creamy cheese polenta, ripe tomatoes and sautéed green beans.

HOW TO PURCHASE

Cruise Planner or Onboard

MENU HIGHLIGHTS

First things first – ask for an order of the house focaccia, which comes with marinated artichokes, olives and pesto. And don’t miss the antipasti per due, an appetiser big enough for two that comes heaped with Italian salami, prosciutto, marinated anchovies, grilled artichokes, Cambozola cheese and more. There are plenty of tasty options to choose from if you’re a pasta lover, from parpadelle with pancetta in a rich radicchio cream, to taglierini tossed with cherry tomatoes, calamari, bay scallops and pesto. And if you’re craving a hearty Italian-style main course, try the polpette alla romana — tender veal meatballs in a rich tomato-herb sauce — or the costolette d’agnello alle erbe — grilled lamb chops served in a Merlot reduction with baby vegetable caponata and sautéed spinach.

PRO TIP

Giovanni’s Table is a great restaurant to dial up date night. If you’re celebrating a special occasion, just let the staff know ahead of time. They’ll help make it extra special!

Izumi

A FAR EAST FEAST

From fresh sushi to delicious teppanyaki prepared table side, Izumi Hibachi & Sushi offers a dialled-up Asian-inspired dining experience. Savour a wide variety of hot and cold appetisers, entrees, and desserts — and watch each course come together as an expert chef works right at your table.

HOW TO RESERVE

Cruise Planner or Onboard

MENU HIGHLIGHTS

The best way to kick off your dining experience at Izumi Hibachi & Sushi is with a few appetisers from the main menu. The shrimp firecracker spring roll is a must-try if you like a little spice — sambal chilli brings the heat while cool cream cheese softens the bite. If you love sushi, you’ll have plenty of rolls to choose from. One of the most imaginative from the signature sushi list spotlights blanched lobster and avocado in a refreshing champagne sauce, all rolled up in a yuzu fruit wrap. And no visit is complete without some selections from the teppanyaki menu, which include chicken breast, beef tenderloin, sea scallops, lobster, NY steak, and tiger shrimp. Whether you opt for the classic or the premier combo teppanyaki experience, you’ll enjoy complimentary starters like vegetable fried rice and green salad with tangy ginger dressing, and your choice of mochi ice cream or crispy sesame balls with red bean and plum sauce for dessert.

PRO TIP

If you’re dining with someone else, mix and match between teppanyaki options and selections from the extensive sushi list. That way, you can each try a little bit of everything.

Sorrento's Pizza

PIZZA WITH MORE PIZZAZZ

There’s nothing more satisfying than a great slice of pizza — and Royal Caribbean has spent years perfecting the recipe at Sorrento’s. Whether you’re into classics, like cheese and Margherita, or specialty pies, like the meat-loaded Carnivore or the pineapple, bacon and BBQ-infused Caribbean Dream, Sorrento’s serves up perfection in every slice.

ATTIRE

Casual

MENU HIGHLIGHTS

There’s no wrong way to do pizza at Sorrento’s — all the pies here are equally delicious. If you’re a traditionalist, go for a slice of classic cheese or Margherita, topped with sweet basil leaves. Want to spice things up? The pepperoni pie brings just the right amount of heat. If you’re craving something a little heartier, try the aptly-named Carnivore, which comes loaded with meat, or a slice of the sweet and smoky BBQ chicken pizza. For something totally out of the ordinary, don’t miss the Caribbean Dream. Sprinkled with bacon, pineapple and BBQ, every bite channels major island vibes.

PRO TIP

Sorrento’s is open late, which makes it one of the best spots for an after-hours bite.

You can also dial up your night with a glamorous champagne cocktail, topped with Domaine Chandon and sweetened with an Angostura-doused sugar cube. Or sip your way across the Caribbean with a Zacapa rum-spiked daiquiri, shaken hard and double-strained, or a classic Papa Doble, prepared with Bacardi Superior rum, lychee and grapefruit juice. If you’re a fan of the Tom Collins, you’ll find that, too — plus four additional versions that each spotlight a different spirit.

PRO TIP

Up for something different? Let the bartender know what your favourite spirit is, and ask them to whip you up a surprise.

Boleros

SHAKE IT LIKE A CAIPIRINHA

Whether you’re stopping by for an after dinner drink or joining the salsa-stepping party, nighttime sizzles at Boleros. This Latin-themed club serves up Cuban mojitos, Brazilian caipirinhas, and your favourite classic cocktails to the sound of a six-piece band playing salsa, cumbia, merengue and samba.

AGE RESTRICTION

MENU HIGHLIGHTS

You can’t go wrong with a classic mojito at Boleros, but everything on the cocktail menu here is worth trying. If you like your drinks on the fruitier side, try the kiwi caipirinha or the Fruitful Hurricane, made with white and dark rums, orange juice, lime juice, sugar syrup and grenadine. Want something a little more intense? You’ll love the Smokey Sunrise, which blends Del Maguey Vida mezcal agave nectar, orange juice and grenadine. If you’re a traditionalist, go for the Dark Cuba Libre, a simple yet delicious trio of Bacardi 8 rum, lime juice and Coke. Or mix things up with a bubbly Sombrero Cooler, made with silver tequila, orange juice, agave nectar and sparkling wine.

PRO TIP

If you don’t want to miss a single beat, check your Cruise Compass for the band’s performance schedule at Boleros.
