Ocean Discovery – Hamburg, Zeebrugge (Bruges) & Le Havre (Paris)

About this cruise

A 13-night sailing gives you something shorter trips can't: the feeling that you're not just visiting places but actually living somewhere else for a while. This one leaves Hamburg on September 19, 2027 and visits Zeebrugge, Le Havre (Paris) and A Coruña, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. You finish in Civitavecchia (Rome). A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. It's a proper Western Mediterranean tour: 4 countries, from Belgium to Italy. Cádiz alone is worth the trip, Europe's oldest city, still dancing flamenco. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. At 113,216 gross tons, Costa Favolosa is big enough that you can find a quiet corner or a crowd, depending on your mood. 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. Worth booking. That's the short version.
