  1. Day 1

    Rotterdam, Netherlands

    Rotterdam is Europe’s largest port, but its appeal extends well beyond the quays. Bold architecture rises beside the Maas, while the city’s maritime past remains close at hand. Cross the Erasmus Bridge for skyline views, explore the striking Markthal, or take a harbour cruise among working vessels. Rotterdam rewards curious visitors with modern design, excellent food, and a Dutch city that refuses to stand still.

  2. Day 2

    Le Havre-Paris, France

    Le Havre is more than a gateway to Normandy; it is a city worth seeing in its own right. Rebuilt after wartime destruction under architect Auguste Perret, its striking concrete centre earned UNESCO World Heritage status. Visit the Musée d’Art moderne André Malraux for an exceptional collection of Impressionist paintings, then walk the seafront. Beyond the city, Normandy offers medieval Honfleur, the D-Day landing sites and the abbey at Mont-Saint-Michel.

  3. Day 3

    Southampton

    Southampton is a working port with a rich maritime past. Walk its medieval city walls, then visit SeaCity Museum, where exhibits explore the city’s connection to the Titanic. The Mayflower began its 1620 voyage from Southampton, and the Titanic sailed from here in 1912. Beyond the waterfront, the New Forest’s heathland and Winchester’s cathedral make rewarding excursions.

  4. Day 5

    Hamburg, Germany

    Hamburg rewards visitors who look beyond its grand harbor to discover a city shaped by trade and water. From the Speicherstadt warehouses and canals to the Elbphilharmonie’s sweeping river views, Hamburg pairs historic character with modern ambition. Stroll around the Rathaus and lakeside paths, then sample fresh fish or coffee in a city with enduring maritime energy. Allow time for a harbor ferry: it offers a memorable view of Hamburg’s working waterfront.
