Germany

Germany has neighbours in Poland, Switzerland, Austria, the Czech Republic, France, Luxembourg, Belgium and the Netherlands. And, like France, this huge country offers cruisers of all ages everything from fine facilities, great shopping, diverse culture, hearty cuisine, a long and varied history with many cities and towns of huge historic interest.

MSC Cruises travels to a number of destinations and ports along the North and Baltic Sea including Hamburg, Kiel, Brunsbuttel, Rostock and Bremerhaven. You’ll find fairytale castles in Bavaria, ancient monasteries in the Black Forest and no less than 33 UNESCO World Heritage Sites across the country (many are in the north and can be visited on MSC cruise itineraries).

Come ashore in Hamburg, Germany’s second largest city and a huge contributor to the legend of the Beatles who cut their teeth in this lively seafaring town. Or discover historic Kiel and the exquisite medieval town of Lubeck.

Family cruises work well with German ports and children are always well-catered for in these family-friendly cities that offer good quality food and plenty of attractions for youngsters.
