The Icelandic city of Reykjavik, the colourful Norwegian town of Bergen and the culture-rich cities of Copenhagen and Helsinki are all near the top of any destination list for this region. Also notable are the Faroe and Lofoten Islands: both are scatters of largely untouched land with small villages and stunning views, but each have their own distinct identities. Finally, if you venture further northwards and into the Arctic Circle, you may glimpse one of the most famous sights of all: the Northern Lights. The deck of a Cunard Queen is the perfect place to view such a spectacle.

What are the top sights in Northern Europe?

Cunard currently visits Denmark, Iceland, Netherlands, Norway, Scotland, Belgium, France, Ireland, Poland, Sweden, Germany, Finland, Lithuania, and Estonia. Discover these exciting destinations and the ports waiting to be explored on our dedicated&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cunard.com/en-gb/cruise-destinations/northern-europe/northern-europe-ports">ports page</a>.

What countries does Cunard visit in Northern Europe?

If you're visiting the region in the summer, be sure to pack light layers, as the weather can be very variable. Don't forget your umbrella or waterproof jacket as rain isn't uncommon. The temperature on board remains pleasant all year round, so you can still bring your finery for those Gala Evenings. In the winter months, bring plenty of warm clothes, plus hat, scarf and waterproof, as the weather can be quite cold, and still wet. No matter when you visit, comfortable shoes are a must for exploring ship and shore.

What should I pack for a Northern Europe cruise?

The summer months (June-August) are the mildest, offering more comfortable cruising conditions at the cost of being the busier &quot;summer holiday&quot; period. However, if it's the magic of the Northern Lights you wish to see, cruise between October and April: you'll have to wrap up extra warm, but the sight is worth it.

When is the best time of year to take a Northern Europe cruise?

At the time of writing, we currently have itineraries sailing to these ports. However, our bookable itineraries do change, so keep checking our cruises to see if we visit your favourite locations.

I’ve never cruised before, what should I expect?

It’s a level of care that goes beyond expectation. From remembering how you take your tea to offering a perfectly timed umbrella as you disembark, White Star Service is our promise: discreet, intuitive, and delivered with genuine warmth. It’s why so many guests return and why first-timers quickly feel at home.

What is White Star Service?

Cunard is one of the best-known cruise lines around the world, due to its long history of over 180 years. Cunard began in Halifax, Nova Scotia and has since sailed the first Transatlantic Crossing in 1840, and the first World Voyage in 1923, cementing our reputation as pioneers of ocean travel.
Apart from&nbsp;our incredible history&nbsp;(which you can discover with our&nbsp;<a href="https://prod.author.carnivalukgroup.com/content/cunard/master_website/en_GB/cunard-stories/180-years-of-cunard.html">special article celebrating our 180th year</a>) we at Cunard are proud of several other features that make us unique and a stand-out choice for your next ocean voyage.
Our flagship,&nbsp;<a href="https://prod.author.carnivalukgroup.com/content/cunard/master_website/en_GB/cruise-ships/queen-mary-2/9.html">Queen Mary 2</a>, is the&nbsp;last remaining ocean liner&nbsp;in service in the world. Her pointed bow and reinforced hull are specially designed to cut through the waves of the open sea, unlike her sisters who have flatter hulls better-suited to more sheltered waters. A&nbsp;<a href="https://prod.author.carnivalukgroup.com/content/cunard/master_website/en_GB/cruise-destinations/transatlantic-cruises.html">Transatlantic Crossing</a>&nbsp;on Queen Mary 2 is seen by people all over the world as one of the ultimate travel experiences.
Cunard also has a long-standing relationship with the British Royal Family. Not only are each of our current fleet named after British Queens, but a member of the Royal Family has also been involved in the naming ceremony of each one. Cunard has also welcomed members of the Royal Family on board for special events, and even sailings.&nbsp;
Our signature experiences are also features of a Cunard voyage that have long histories, but show no signs of going out of style. From our daily decadent&nbsp;<a href="https://prod.author.carnivalukgroup.com/content/cunard/master_website/en_GB/activity-types/dining.html">Afternoon Teas</a>&nbsp;to our glittering&nbsp;<a href="https://prod.author.carnivalukgroup.com/content/cunard/master_website/en_GB/activity-types/evening/gala-balls.html">Gala Evenings</a>, a Cunard voyage is unique and special in a way that surpasses expectations.
New dimensions are added to Cunard voyages in the form of knowledge and discovery, as our&nbsp;<a href="https://prod.author.carnivalukgroup.com/content/cunard/master_website/en_GB/activity-types/daytime/insights-and-enrichment.html">Insights guest speaker programme</a>&nbsp;offers glimpses into the worlds of literature, politics, theatre and exploration, to name a few. Here we have gone even further to offer special&nbsp;<a href="https://prod.author.carnivalukgroup.com/content/cunard/master_website/en_GB/cruise-types/event-cruises.html">Event Voyages</a>, centred around themes such as fashion, food and music, with additional workshops and concerts for our guests to enjoy.
Overarching all of these is our White Star service, a high standard which we set ourselves and for which we are famous all around the world.

What makes Cunard different to other cruise lines?

Your fare includes all main meals, room service breakfast, world-class entertainment, daily enrichment activities, and access to pools, gyms, and lounges. Some specialty dining, spa treatments, and drinks are extra, but exceptional value is part of every voyage.Visit our&nbsp;<a href="/the-cunard-experience/whats-included" title="" target="_self">what's included page</a>&nbsp;for more details.
