Northern Cities Cruise

Helen Ashworth on 16 February 2024
In February this year, as a family we went on our first Cruise. We decided on MSC as this offered everything we wanted as family and the price was great for our first Cruise. We sailed from Southampton on MSC Euribia and visited Hamburg, Rotterdam and Zeebrugge on our 7 night cruise. We were also due to stop in Le Harve however due to a French strike this wasn't possible so had an extra night in Belgium but this wasn't a problem at all. MSC Euribia is an amazing ship with so much to do for all ages. As my children are 11 and 4 they enjoyed the water slides, indoor pool, Tenpin bowling and arcades. The youngest also enjoyed the kids clubs whilst the older one spent most of his time at the sports plaza playing football. The food and drinks were great, with plenty of choice for everyone even this kids. We enjoyed the shows in the theatre at night which ranged from singing and dancing to magic and illusionist. When in the ports you could get on and off whenever you liked as long as you were back for set sail time and you could either do organised trips or your own thing. In Hamburg and Rotterdam we made our own arrangements however in Belgium we did a tour to Bruges, an amazing chocolate making shop and a traditional castle. MSC offer cruises to many destinations so please do get in touch if you are thinking of a cruise and have any questions at all.
