10 nights - Europe's West Coast - from Bremerhaven/to Palma

About this cruise

The kind of trip that's easy to say yes to and hard to regret. 10 nights from Bremerhaven on August 27, 2027, visiting Le Havre (Paris), Southampton, Ferrol, Leixões (Porto), Lisbon and Palma de Mallorca. You get off in Palma de Mallorca, which is a good excuse to tack on a few days on land. Ports up front, sea days at the end. By the time you're back in Bremerhaven, you'll feel properly rested rather than rushed. Crossing 4 borders through the Western Mediterranean: France, United Kingdom, Spain and Portugal. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Don't rush through Lisbon, which is known as Seven hills of fado, pastéis, and golden light. Roughly 12 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Mein Schiff 3 takes the food seriously, with 11 restaurants to choose from. 8 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. With more nights comes more time for the ship's rhythm to kick in: morning coffee in the same spot, evening shows, late-night conversations on deck. Long enough that you stop checking your phone. Short enough that you're not bored. And August means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. All told, 6 ports across 10 nights covers a lot.
