Viking Voyages – Cherbourg, Paris & Hamburg

About this cruise

Long enough to properly switch off but not so long you need to reorganise your entire life. This 7-night round-trip sailing from Rotterdam on December 1, 2026 visits Cherbourg, Le Havre (Paris), Southampton and Hamburg. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 4 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. 3 countries (France, United Kingdom and Germany) across the British Isles & Western France, each with its own character. Don't rush through Hamburg, which is known as Germany's gateway to the world on the Elbe. Roughly 12 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. You won't go hungry on MSC Preziosa. 5 restaurants come with the fare, plus 2 more when you feel like treating yourself. And a December cruise to warmer water? Hard to argue with that when it's cold at home. All told, 4 ports across 7 nights covers a lot.
