Short Escape – Le Havre & Southampton
About this cruise
A lot can happen in 4 nights. This sailing from Rotterdam on April 21, 2027 visits Le Havre (Paris), Southampton and Hamburg and makes every day count. You get off in Hamburg, which is a good excuse to tack on a few days on land. Hardly any sea days here. It's basically port-hopping the whole way. Crossing 3 borders through the British Isles & Western France: France, United Kingdom and Germany. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Don't rush through Southampton, which is known as England's gateway to the world. Around 12 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. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. All told, 3 ports across 4 nights covers a lot.
