Scottish Highlands & Isles – Edinburgh, Orkney & Belfast

About this cruise

You board in Hamburg on September 12, 2027 for 10 nights visiting Leith (Edinburgh), Kirkwall, Stornoway, Greenock (Glasgow), Belfast and Liverpool, and you come back from this kind of trip wondering why you don't do it more often. You do all the exploring first, then the last few days are at sea. It's like a built-in wind-down. Castles, old pubs, and rough coastline. The British Isles show up differently at each port. Keep an eye out for Stornoway: Hebridean remoteness with a warm heart. Around 10 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. The longer time on board means you'll catch several shows, themed nights, and start feeling like a regular at your favourite bar. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. That's 10 nights well spent.
