Germany

As with France, this huge country has a lot to offer holidaymakers, from diverse culture, hearty cuisine, a long and varied history and many cities and towns of 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).

Germany comes alive at Christmas too, playing host to festive markets everywhere where the scent of authentic gingerbread and gluhwein (mulled wine) sets a seasonal atmosphere. Come ashore in lively Hamburg, Germany’s second largest city or discover historic Kiel and the medieval town of Lubeck.

Children are always well-catered for in Germany thanks to family-friendly cities, great food and plenty of attractions for youngsters.
