Cruising the Northern Europe

Northern European cruises traverse some of the continent's most dramatic and culturally rich landscapes, from Norway's deep fjords and Iceland's volcanic terrain to the elegant Baltic capitals of St. Petersburg, Stockholm, and Copenhagen.

Norwegian Fjords itineraries are among the most scenic sailings in the world, with ships navigating narrow waterways flanked by towering cliff faces, cascading waterfalls, and picturesque villages. Geirangerfjord and Sognefjord are particular highlights, often described as nature's own cathedrals.

Baltic cruises typically visit a circuit of capital cities — Copenhagen, Stockholm, Helsinki, Tallinn, and St. Petersburg — with the latter offering multi-day stays to explore the Hermitage, Peterhof Palace, and other imperial treasures. British Isles cruises combine Edinburgh, Dublin, Reykjavik, and the Scottish Highlands for a culturally diverse voyage.
