Maritime Odyssey – Rotterdam, Brest & Porto

About this cruise

You come back from a trip like this actually rested, not just "I went on vacation" rested. 11 nights from Warnemünde (Rostock) on October 5, 2026, visiting Rotterdam, Brest, Bilbao, Leixões (Porto), Málaga and Marseille. The trip wraps in Marseille, 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 (Netherlands, France, Spain and Portugal) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. Keep an eye out for Rotterdam: Bold architecture in Europe's biggest port. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. You won't go hungry on MSC Magnifica. 3 restaurants come with the fare, plus 1 more when you feel like treating yourself. 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 11 nights well spent.
