Northern Europe – Amsterdam & Paris

About this cruise

This one leaves Hamburg on November 1, 2026 and spends 7 nights visiting Amsterdam, Zeebrugge, Le Havre (Paris) and Southampton at a pace where every day has something going on but there's always time to just sit and watch the water too. 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 Northern Europe & Scandinavia route takes in Netherlands, Belgium, France and United Kingdom, 4 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Most ports give you about 12 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, MSC Preziosa keeps you well fed. 7 places to eat, with 5 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. You'll probably start planning the next one before this one's even over.
