Ocean Discovery – Hamburg, Le Havre (Paris) & Bilbao

About this cruise

If you've got 11 nights to work with, this sailing from Hamburg on October 31, 2027 through Le Havre (Paris), Bilbao, Leixões (Porto), Lisbon, Funchal and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is genuinely one of the better ways to spend them. Last stop: Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. There's a nice rhythm here: explore a port, recover at sea, do it again. You never feel rushed or restless. 3 countries (France, Spain and Portugal) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. Of the stops, Bilbao tends to be the one people talk about: The Guggenheim's titanium curves above the Nervión. Around 11 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Mein Schiff 7 joined the TUI Cruises's lineup in 2024. Still has that new-ship feel. There are enough performances, events, and social mixers on a cruise this length that you couldn't do them all if you tried. And that's a good problem. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
