Short Ocean Escape – Hamburg, Ijmuiden & Dover
About this cruise
4 nights, 3 ports, one very easy decision. This one heads out of Hamburg on November 8, 2026 and visits IJmuiden (Amsterdam), Dover and Le Havre (Paris). The sailing ends in Le Havre (Paris). There's a new port nearly every day, 3 days ashore total, so you're kept busy. 3 countries (Netherlands, United Kingdom and France) across the British Isles & Western France, each with its own character. Most ports give you about 12 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Costa Favolosa: 3,016 guests, 13 decks. Entertainment, dining, and enough space that it never feels cramped. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 4-night sailing is a strong place to start.
