    A popular port of call on any European cruise, Hamburg is a thriving port city with plenty to offer. Once onshore, you'll see countless maritime attractions and seafood restaurants with fresh catches of the day. We recommend a city tour to admire the canals and lakes, as well as the World Heritage Site, Speicherstadt. To dive in on Hamburg's seafaring history, head to the International Maritime Museum, home to numerous artefacts and exhibitions.

    The largest port in Europe, Rotterdam had much of its extensive history destroyed during the second World War, but you'll find glimpses into the past through fascinating museums and architecture. For shopping, bars and restaurants head to the Markthal, a unique building with plenty to enjoy. Meanwhile, families will love Rotterdam Zoo, as well as the Euromast Tower which provides stunning views across the city.

    A charming port town in Normandy at the point where the Seine meets the English Channel, Le Havre is your gateway to major French cities like Paris, Rouen, and beyond. However, it’s also a fantastic destination to visit in its own right, with a fascinating selection of museums to explore, nearby beaches to spend time admiring the coastal scenery, and a culinary landscape that will not disappoint. Whether visiting on an ocean cruise destined for sunny shores further afield, or spending some time appreciating the welcoming atmosphere here on a river cruise sailing the Seine, there’s something for everyone to enjoy when it comes to visiting Le Havre.

Most of the crew were lovely, we felt looked after and comfortable on the ship. We had a nice holiday and enjoyed some of the entertainment. We had never been on a cruise where passengers embarked and disembarked at each port so that was different to what we expected. The only issue we had with this was the safety drills at each port where we had to listen to the drill announcements even when we had been on for a while and were unable to access the services at this time (which coincided with when we returned from some excursions). The food options at the main restaurant wasn’t very good for us. Being vegetarian there was often only one option that didn’t sound appealing to us. There is an always available menu which was better for us, but this wasn’t actually available on any themed nights (e. g gala night, Mediterranean night and the Easter menu). The shows were okay with good music and dancing, but not the same level as some other ships we’ve been on.

Further information

Onboard

MSC offer two seated dining options, which they call Classic Dining. There is an early sitting at around 7pm and a late sitting at around 9pm. These sittings can varyby ship. MSC also offer a more flexible dining option called 'My Time' dining. This allows you to chose the time that you dine in the main restaurant. Aurea guests have an anytime dining option.

MSC offers a wide range of dietary options, including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and low-sodium choices. Guests can notify the cruise line in advance, and the onboard dining team strives to cater to individual dietary requirements.

MSC guests are limited to two suitcases and two pieces of hand luggage when checking in for their cruise. However, we highly recommend that you read your cruise ticket in full before travelling as these limits may change.

Apart from their fantastic formal and themed evenings, MSC guests are invited to wear casual resort attire whilst on board. Casual resort attire would incude a shirt with chinos, or summer dresses and a jacket. Whislt formal wear would be a suit or smart evening trousers with a jacket and tie, and cocktail dresses.

Iglu Cruise has a team in place to provide necessary assistance to make your holiday run smoothly. If anyone in your party requires medical or mobility assistance, notify your Cruise Specialist at the time of booking or as soon as possible if circumstances change after booking. The Special Assistance Team will email a form 6-8 weeks before departure, which must be completed and returned.

Travel requirements

All passengers (including all children), should hold their own full 10-year (5 years for children) British Citizen (GBR) passport. The passport should be valid for at least 6 months past your expected return date to the UK, as this is often a criteria for entry to certain countries.

MSC Cruises recommends that every Passenger should have an adequate insurance policy which covers them sufficiently for cancellation, medical assistance and expenses, loss and/or damage of the luggage.
