Cruises in Europe tend to be the most popular choices world round. Amazing cities, historical artifacts of ancient cultures of long past, incredible scenery, all of these wait for the tourist at each port of call on European cruises.

European cruises depart from most major seaports around Europe. They often cover a specific region of Europe, although some companies do offer a whirlwind tour of the major sites right around the European coastline.

Starting in Northern Europe, cruises around Scandinavia and the Baltic States are popular, especially those that take in the Norwegian fjords. Here, you are able to enjoy the breathtaking landscapes where mountains stand tall as towers in each way, and where glaciers and waterfalls are practically within your hands’ reach. Scandinavia offers a wealth of old and stately cities to visit too. If you are feeling adventurous and do a little research you can find great walking tours of all the major cities of Scandinavia and fit them right into your European cruise.

Low Countries, British Isles, Ireland and France are all included in the Western European cruises. Scottish castles, the emerald green landscapes of Ireland and a visit to a French vineyard and chateaux are just some of the highlights of a cruise around Western Europe. You could also build in visits to historic ports of call, such as Portsmouth in England, where Nelson’s ‘Victory’ can be toured.

Take in the amazingly beautiful and historical Mediterranean Coastline as you move deep into the southern areas like the Mediterranean Sea. Croatia, Turkey, Spain, Greece, Italy, Portugal and the French Riviera all contain their own particular attractions. The famed Turkish bazaars, The Coliseum of Rome, Monaco’s grandiose vista, and even the birthplace of Salvador Dali all welcome those who decide to take a Europe Cruise within the Mediterranean.

There are a number of specialist tours in the Mediterranean region too. You can enjoy the delights of classical Greece and its magnificent islands, or discover the magic of island hopping from the Balearic Islands in the west of the Mediterranean to Cyprus in the east.
