Northern Europe Cruises

Northern Europe cruises offer a rich host of cultural attractions. The Scandinavian cities of Stockholm, Copenhagen and Oslo are some of the most striking in Europe, filled with stunning architecture, great food and historical treasures.

Short flights to Northern Europe mean more time can be spent getting to know the city sights before and after your cruise journey. For example, a number of cruises depart and return to Amsterdam, giving you the opportunity to visit this picturesque city, known for its quaint canals and cycling culture. We also offer a range of no fly cruises to Northern Europe, for the maximum convenience, typically departing from ports such as Southampton, Liverpool and Dover.

A great way to pack in many destinations in a short span of time, you could be visiting as many as six countries on a twelve-night Northern Europe cruise. While your ship is docked, take the opportunity to wander through quaint cobblestone streets, visit magnificent cathedrals and explore world famous museums. Many cruise lines also offer optional and pre-bookable shore excursions, if you prefer a guided experience. Iceland is a popular Northern Europe cruise destination, renowned for its dramatic landscape covered in ancient lava caves, spouting geysers, hot springs and staggering waterfalls. Few destinations can compete with Iceland’s raw natural beauty, and a cruise is the perfect way to discover it.

Our expert cruise consultants are a mine of information about what to do on your Northern Europe cruise, often with first-hand travel experience. Whether you're looking for a no fly cruise, a relaxing cruise combined with a city break, or wishing to combine your cruise with a fly drive adventure – they are the perfect people to ask.
