This is my MSC Northern Europe Cruise Ports Guide, showing what each port of call is actually like on the day. If you’re cruising with MSC Cruises on this Northern Europe itinerary, this guide will help you understand how each port works and what you can realistically see during your stop. On this MSC Northern Europe cruise we visited Hamburg, Rotterdam, Zeebrugge for Bruges, and Le Havre for Paris and Normandy. In this video I explain where the ships dock, how easy it is to explore independently, and the best options for each port during a cruise day. You’ll learn: • What Hamburg cruise port is like and how easy it is to explore the city • Whether it’s worth visiting Amsterdam from Rotterdam • How to get from Zeebrugge cruise port to Bruges • The reality of visiting Paris from Le Havre • Other options in Normandy including Honfleur Most of these ports are actually very easy to explore on your own, but there are a few important things to know before you arrive.
