This is a great way to get a taste for cruising as we’ll fly you from the airport of your choice to Hamburg, where you’ll stay for 2 nights giving plenty of time to explore this wonderful city and soak up some traditional German atmosphere and enjoy the local food and drink.

You’ll stay at the 4* Crowne Plaza Hotel Hamburg, this is located in Hamburg's popular St. Georg/Hohenfelde district, just 200 yards from the Alster Lake. It offers free WiFi throughout the property.

Crowne Plaza ® Hamburg – City Alster offers non-smoking accommodation and its rooms feature a flat-screen TV and air conditioning.

Uhlandstraße Underground Station is a 7-minute walk from the Crowne Plaza ® Hamburg – City Alster. A bus stop opposite offers connections to Hamburg city centre in 5 minutes.

After your stay in Hamburg you’ll embark the MSC Magnifica ready for a 9pm departure and cruise for 2 nights back to Southampton.
