European Cruising At a Glance

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 1-800-CRUISES.

Transatlantic

European Cruise Ship at Bay
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.

Eastern Mediterranean

The Parthenon - Athens, Greece
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.

Northern European

Eiffel Tower - Paris, France
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.

Couple Sight-Seeing on a European Cruise
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.
