    The UK’s largest cruise port and where many will begin their cruise holiday, Southampton has no shortage of maritime and historical attractions. Discover local landmarks on a walking tour including 30 ancient monuments, learn about the tragic story of the Titanic and escape to the great outdoors at the New Forest National Park. With numerous options for seafood dining and even a free art gallery, Southampton is an undoubtedly great destination for a pre or post-cruise stay.

    From wandering along stretches of white sandy beach to hiking to icy blue glaciers, Nordfjordeid is a fantastic starting point for outdoor excursions. Hiking is particularly popular, and with over 200 marked trails to choose from, there's a hike to suit every ability and age, though you can also hop on the Loen Skylift to take you straight to the best views. Alternatively, for those looking to immerse themselves in Norway's history, head to the largest known Viking ship, Myklebustskipe.

    Maloy is a charming town in Vestland county, Norway, surrounded by sensational scenery and – rather surprisingly – home to a stunning silver-sand beach that stretches almost a mile long. Something of a gateway to the wonderful Norwegian wilderness, this destination is one to look forward to on a Norwegian Fjords cruise; with excursions encompassing all sorts of experiences, from mountain hiking and kayaking to deer farm visits and missions to near-ancient monasteries, you’ll find yourself with more than enough to do when you visit Maloy.

The ship is amazing and all the crew go above and beyond to help you. MSC do everything to make sure your stay with them is perfect. The on board fertility are amazing and all the trips of the ship that are arranged by MSC are look after by MSC and are brilliant

Embarkation was brilliant, superb and very slick! Disembarkation not so due to excessive queuing. There was no system, no signposting and no staff to ask until virtually outside / off the ship. Access to toilets on the ship during the disembarkation process was closed. Adverse weather conditions disrupted our itinerary and because we visited only 1 out of the advertised 3 ports this was extremely disappointing. When we eventually got off the ship at La Rochelle, the free transport into the city was amazing. The system in place to get back on board the ship was horrendous. Again, no access to toilets and a poor, long queuing system for the amount of passengers involved.
