Royal Route – Zeebrugge, Rotterdam & Paris

About this cruise

You board in Hamburg on January 24, 2027 for 7 nights visiting Zeebrugge, Rotterdam, Le Havre (Paris) and Southampton, and you come back from this kind of trip wondering why you don't do it more often. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. Crossing 4 borders through the Northern Europe & Scandinavia: Belgium, Netherlands, France and United Kingdom. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Southampton stands out. It's England's gateway to the world. Around 11 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. MSC Preziosa takes the food seriously, with 7 restaurants to choose from. 5 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. A January sailing is basically an excuse to chase the sun for a week or two. All in all, it's a solid trip.
