European Escape – Paris, Bilbao & Vigo

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 Southampton on May 16, 2027 visits Le Havre (Paris), Bilbao, A Coruña and Vigo. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. Roman ruins at one stop, Renaissance piazzas at the next. Centuries of history at every quay. Le Havre (Paris) stands out. It's Normandy's port, Paris's gateway to the sea. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Mariner Of The Seas keeps you well fed. 12 places to eat, with 4 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in Southampton before boarding. It's a good city to wander. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. All in all, it's a solid trip.
