European Capitals – Rotterdam & Paris
About this cruise
No complicated itinerary, no back-to-back transfers, just the ports, the ship, and the sea in between. This 7-night sailing from Hamburg on February 21, 2027 visits Rotterdam, Cherbourg, Le Havre (Paris) and Southampton. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. It's a proper British Isles & Western France tour: 3 countries, from Netherlands to United Kingdom. People come back from this cruise talking about Cherbourg: Normandy's transatlantic harbour of history. Around 11 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, MSC Preziosa has 7 dining spots on board, most of them included. A February sailing is basically an excuse to chase the sun for a week or two. 4 ports, 3 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
