With so many incredible places to go, the hardest part about planning a European cruise is
deciding which type is best for you. Most itineraries last between 7 and 14 nights and visit
several ports of call in a few different countries. Unless you choose an extended cruise, you'll
need to focus on one region. Cruises embark and disembark from within Europe (except for
transatlantic voyages).
Cruise tours offer you the chance to add a hotel stay before or after your cruise
you'll enjoy a richer experience in your European gateway city. Cruise tour packages can
only be booked by calling one of our travel consultants at 1-1-800-278-4737.
Transatlantic
Cross the Atlantic amidst all the comforts of a full-service floating resort, including endless dining options and world-class entertainment at sea. Transatlantic cruises usually embark from within the U.S. or the Caribbean, and then disembark in Europe (or vice versa), so you'll only need one-way airfare. Want to start your cruise vacation immediately? Embark from a U.S. port. Prefer to save the best for last? Cruise home from Europe. If you have time, nothing beats an extended roundtrip sailing from either side of the Atlantic.
Plenty of itineraries feature ports in Great Britain, Spain, and Portugal. But some sailings
include unique ports like the Canary Islands and the islands of The Azores. Located halfway across
the pond, both destinations are ruggedly beautiful and rich with culture. Many transatlantic
cruises also drop anchor in the Caribbean for a day or two.
The towering Rock of Gibraltar welcomes you to the breathtaking gateway of the Mediterranean Sea. Here,
along the western shores of the sea, you'll discover an array of eclectic cities. Popular hotspots include
Barcelona, Ibiza, Cannes, and Monte Carlo. For a truly exotic adventure, choose an itinerary featuring south
coast stops in Morocco and Tunisia.
Once the center of power for an empire that stretched across most of Europe, Rome is the unofficial
cruising capital of the Mediterranean. More cruise ships embark and disembark from the city's terminal
port in nearby Civitavecchia than from any other European location. Classic Eastern Mediterranean itinerary
favorites include Venice, Naples, Athens, and the islands of Italy and Greece. Popular exotic ports include
Istanbul and Cairo.
Year after year, spectacular coastal scenery and fascinating cities keep cruisers coming back to the waterways
of Northern Europe. Traditional itineraries usually include stops in London (or two nearby terminals) and Dublin.
Paris and Amsterdam, located just across the English Channel, are perennial crowd-pleasers. More exotic thrills
await beyond the dramatic white cliffs of Dover and the European mainland. Don't miss the hot springs and
glacier-capped volcanoes of Iceland, the Viking lore and fjords of Scandinavia, and the ornate czar palaces
of St. Petersburg, Russia.
To experience a vacation that is truly unique, adventurous and enriching, embark
on a voyage with Uniworld Grand River Cruises and Tours. As you sail the world's
historic waterways, you'll enjoy an intimate look at exotic destinations, cruising
past scenic countryside, cultural landmarks and bustling city life.
A hotel stay in an exciting gateway city is the icing on the cake – it's the most relaxing way to kick-off or wrap-up
your journey. Catch up on sleep and adjust to the change in time zones, or rise with the sun – step onto your hotel
room's balcony, breathe in mouthwatering scents from a local bakery, and watch the neighborhood come alive.
Overnight stays also afford you an opportunity to experience completely the legendary nightlife of vibrant gateway
cities like London and Barcelona.
