Glamorous Gateway – Zeebrugge, Rotterdam & Paris

About this cruise

You sail from Hamburg on March 21, 2027 and spend 7 nights visiting Zeebrugge, Rotterdam, Le Havre (Paris) and Southampton. It's a well-tested route and there's a reason people keep booking it. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. The route threads through 4 countries along the Northern Europe & Scandinavia coast: Belgium, Netherlands, France and United Kingdom. Most ports give you about 11 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, MSC Preziosa has 7 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. A spring departure helps too: decent weather and a calmer feel at each port. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 7-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
