12 Night Cruise from Hamburg

About this cruise

Block out 12 nights from September 19, 2027 and let this sailing from Hamburg do its thing. The route covers Zeebrugge, Le Havre (Paris) and A Coruña, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean and there's plenty of room to breathe between each stop. Last stop: Genoa. Every port day is followed by a sea day, so you get time to sleep in, use the ship, and look forward to the next stop. The Western Mediterranean route takes in Belgium, France, Spain and Italy, 4 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Of the stops, Genoa tends to be the one people talk about: Columbus' birthplace, a labyrinth of caruggi. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Costa Favolosa carries up to 3,016 guests over 13 decks. Multiple pools, a theatre, and more restaurants than you'll get through. 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. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in Hamburg before boarding. It's a good city to wander. And September is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
