Charming Capitals – Rotterdam & Paris

About this cruise

You board in Hamburg on December 6, 2026 for 7 nights visiting Rotterdam, Cherbourg, Le Havre (Paris) and Southampton, and you come back from this kind of trip wondering why you don't do it more often. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. 3 countries (Netherlands, France and United Kingdom) across the British Isles & Western France, each with its own character. Don't rush through Rotterdam, which is known as Bold architecture in Europe's biggest port. Around 11 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. You won't go hungry on MSC Preziosa. 5 restaurants come with the fare, plus 2 more when you feel like treating yourself. A December sailing is basically an excuse to chase the sun for a week or two. All told, 4 ports across 7 nights covers a lot.
