10 nights - Great Britain's Treasures - from/to Hamburg

About this cruise

You sail from Hamburg on September 5, 2026 and spend 10 nights visiting Invergordon, Greenock (Glasgow), Belfast, Liverpool and Southampton. It's a well-tested route and there's a reason people keep booking it. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. Fish and chips in one port, moules-frites in the next. Close neighbours, very different kitchens. Most ports give you about 13 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Mein Schiff 2 takes the food seriously, with 11 restaurants to choose from. 8 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. 10 nights is long enough to build a routine on board: favourite restaurant, favourite deck chair, favourite people. It starts to feel like a floating village. The sweet spot for most travellers: you get to know the ship, see the ports, and come home before the laundry piles up. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Hamburg has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. Good route, good ship, good timing. It all lines up.
