Grand European – Kiel to Barcelona
About this cruise
Long enough to properly switch off but not so long you need to reorganise your entire life. This 10-night sailing from Kiel on October 10, 2026 visits Copenhagen, Amsterdam, Cherbourg, Málaga, Alicante and Barcelona. The trip wraps in Barcelona, so you won't retrace your steps. Every port day is followed by a sea day, so you get time to sleep in, use the ship, and look forward to the next stop. 4 countries (Denmark, Netherlands, France and Spain) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. Keep an eye out for Cherbourg: Normandy's transatlantic harbour of history. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. MSC Euribia launched in 2023, so everything on board is still new. You can tell. The shows alone are worth the extra nights. You'll catch comedy, music, theatre, and themed evenings you'd miss on a shorter trip. And October is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. That's 10 nights well spent.
