About this cruise
5 nights is all it takes to completely reset. This cruise from Hamburg on October 18, 2026 visits Rotterdam, Cherbourg, Le Havre (Paris) and Southampton and you'll feel it from day one. The sailing ends in Southampton. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. 3 countries (Netherlands, France and United Kingdom) across the British Isles & Western France, each with its own character. You get around 11 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 MSC Preziosa. 5 restaurants come with the fare, plus 2 more when you feel like treating yourself. An October sailing dodges the peak crowds while the weather is still cooperating. Well timed. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 5-night sailing is a strong place to start.
