European Cruise Destinations

From the Greek Isles to the Norwegian Fjords, Europe offers more great cruising than any other continent. Here are the regions and the ports that define them.

The Mediterranean & Greek Isles

Barcelona, the French and Italian Rivieras, Rome, Florence/Pisa, Naples and the Amalfi Coast, plus Athens, Santorini, Mykonos and the Adriatic — Europe’s most popular cruising region.

Northern Europe & the Baltic

Copenhagen, Stockholm, Helsinki and the medieval old town of Tallinn, with calls at Gdańsk, Riga and Visby — design, history and long days in port.

The Norwegian Fjords

Geirangerfjord and the Nærøyfjord, Bergen, Ålesund and Flåm — Europe’s most spectacular scenery, best seen slowly from the deck.

The British Isles

England, Scotland and Ireland by sea — Edinburgh, Dublin, the Scottish Highlands and isles, plus calls in Wales, Cornwall and the Channel Islands.

Atlantic, Iberia & the Canary Islands

Lisbon and Porto, Cádiz and Seville, Gibraltar and the sun-sure Canary Islands — great shoulder-season sailings and transatlantic repositioning voyages.

Flying in for a British Isles or Western Med sailing? Look over Southampton cruise hotels or hotels near Barcelona’s cruise port to find a room close to the terminal.
