Maritime Guilds – Hamburg, Southampton & Le Havre

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 Rotterdam on November 10, 2027 visits Hamburg, Southampton, Le Havre (Paris) and Cherbourg. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. 3 countries (Germany, United Kingdom and France) across the British Isles & Western France, each with its own character. Don't rush through Cherbourg, which is known as Normandy's transatlantic harbour of history. Around 12 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. You won't go hungry on MSC Preziosa. 5 restaurants come with the fare, plus 2 more when you feel like treating yourself. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. All told, 4 ports across 7 nights covers a lot.
