Sea cruise around old Europe

A rather attractive route is being offered by MSC Cruises this May. The name itself attracts the attention of travel lovers. Of course, this is not a round-the-world cruise, but nevertheless you can take a ride around Europe. As part of this voyage, you will see 13 cities and visit 12 countries.

On this trip you will experience the contrast between the culture of the north and south of old Europe, all in 19 nights. In addition, the cruise will have enough time to get to know the ship and its infrastructure. I will write about it below.

In this article I will offer you a second option for a route around Europe, it is a little shorter.

A busy itinerary for a big cruise

This is quite a long route, both in terms of time and intensity, which will go around almost the whole of Europe. It focuses more on the countries of the northern part of the European continent.

Boarding the ship on May 3 in the city of Genoa (Italy). If you arrive a little early (I recommend), you can experience Italian hospitality and get to know the city.

  • Over the next two days you will circumnavigate the Iberian Peninsula. Use this time to get to know each other and have a great time on the cruise ship.
  • On the sixth day of the cruise around Europe, you will arrive in the Spanish city of La Coruña, which you will have 11 hours to explore.
  • And after another day of sailing you will arrive in the UK, the city of Southampton. I already wrote about how to travel from Southampton to London in time. And all this in 12 hours. The task is not easy, but we personally succeeded. Unforgettable!

Ocean liner MSC Poesia

This cruise will be carried out by the standard class ship Poesia, of the MSC Cruises fleet. This ship is the “brother” of the MSC Orchestra liner of the Musica family. 

Watch a video review of this snow-white liner.

In my opinion, this is a great cruise option. Covers many countries and cities located around Europe.
