Cobblestone Pulse – Aarhus, Hamburg & Paris

About this cruise

10 nights, 6 ports, all from Southampton on July 2, 2027. The route visits Zeebrugge, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Aarhus, Hamburg and Le Havre (Paris) and the whole thing just flows. Port days and sea days take turns, which is about as well-paced as a cruise itinerary gets. 5 countries (Belgium, Netherlands, Denmark, Germany and France) across the Baltic, each with its own character. You get around 12 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, You won't go hungry on Majestic Princess. 5 restaurants come with the fare, plus 4 more when you feel like treating yourself. One of the underrated parts of a longer cruise: you actually get to know people. The couple from dinner, the group at trivia, the bartender who remembers your drink. A July departure puts you in the best summer conditions: long days, warm nights, plenty of sun. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 10-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
