14 nights - Richness of Western Europe - from/to Bremerhaven

About this cruise

You won't run out of things to do on a trip this long, but you also won't feel like you have to do any of them. 14 nights from Bremerhaven on April 4, 2027, visiting Southampton, A Coruña and Leixões (Porto), with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. 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. The Western Mediterranean route takes in United Kingdom, Spain, Portugal and France, 4 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Most ports give you about 11 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Mein Schiff 3 keeps you well fed. 11 places to eat, with 8 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. 14 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. A proper voyage for people who like to take their time and hate rushing through destinations. A spring departure helps too: decent weather and a calmer feel at each port. You start in Bremerhaven and come back with stories from United Kingdom, Spain, Portugal and France.
