Ports of Call
Cruise from Southampton
- Hamburg: A major port city with canals, bridges and striking red-brick warehouses. Visit Speicherstadt, the Elbphilharmonie and the historic St. Michael’s Church. Its waterside energy and cultural mix make days ashore feel full.
- Rotterdam: Modern architecture and wide waterfronts define the city. See the Cube Houses, browse the Markthal and take a harbour tour. It’s a bold, forward-looking contrast to older European ports.
- Bruges (Zeebrugge): Medieval lanes and quiet canals set the mood. Climb the Belfry, sample chocolate near the Markt or take a gentle boat ride. Compact streets and easy sights reward unhurried wandering.
- Le Havre (Paris): Rebuilt post-war with clean lines and open spaces. Visit MuMa for Impressionist works, stroll the UNESCO-listed centre or take an excursion to Paris. It’s a practical gateway to Normandy and the French capital.
