Not when you are on a sailing boat. 🙂 And some of the ports were also really nice places. So I have to disagree with your assessment. The only Dutch city I have been to is Rotterdam, and that's really ugly, thanks to "us" (the Germans).
Norway is great if you are looking for beautiful and spectacular nature. I'd especially recommend the Lofoten islands. They are full of tourists in summer, so it's best to avoid that time of the year. Also, if you go there some time between September and mid April, you may be able to see the aurora borealis. Unfortunately, Norway is very expensive, but if you don't stay at hotels, don't eat out too often, don't buy alcohol or cigarettes, and know what stores to go to, it's not really that bad.

If Rotterdam is wasted for some tastes, then he/she can take the train and go to beautiful Dusseldorf 🙂
If we are into recommending ugly cities now, I'd highly recommend Frankfurt am Main.
