11 nights - Europe's West Coast - from Hamburg/to Palma

About this cruise

Every port gets the time it deserves and the sea days in between are half the fun. This 11-night sailing leaves Hamburg on October 4, 2026 and visits Zeebrugge, Le Havre (Paris) and Ferrol, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. You finish in Palma de Mallorca. The sea days at each end give the whole trip a natural arc: build-up, exploration, cool-down. Crossing 5 borders through the Western Mediterranean: Belgium, France, Spain, Portugal and Morocco. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Málaga alone is worth the trip, Picasso's birthplace on the Costa del Sol. Roughly 11 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Mein Schiff 7 (2024) is one of the newer ships out there, with current design and recent tech throughout. 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. If you've done the short cruises and want more, this is the upgrade. Longer, deeper, and more relaxed. And October is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. Worth booking. That's the short version.
