Cruises to Northern Europe

Our Northern Europe cruises introduce you to welcoming towns and cities, many with intriguing medieval roots. You can also explore dramatic Scandinavian landscapes of geysers, fjords and glaciers under summer’s Midnight Sun.

Northern Europe destinations

Copenhagen, Denmark

Founded in the 12th century, Copenhagen is strikingly modern and richly traditional in equal measure, bringing you the ramparts of Hamlet’s Elsinore along with the latest in Scandinavian design style.

Gothenburg, Sweden

Sweden's second city is a pleasant whirl of parks and canals, and proud maritime traditions. The grand Maritime Museum celebrates this, and even its modern opera house resembles a classic ocean liner.

Andalsnes, Norway

Not far from the idyllic Andalsnes, you’ll locate a unique curiosity: the “Troll Wall,” which features immense grassy cliffs forming Europe's highest vertical mountain face. An amazing natural wonder.

Oslo, Norway

Oslo is the oldest and least populous capital in all Scandinavia, with superb theaters, great cafés, and excellent shopping, as well as a magnificent selection of churches, palaces, parks and museums.

Belfast, Northern Ireland

Belfast, the capital of Northern Ireland, enjoys a wonderful setting of high hills, sea lough, and river valley. Founded in the 17th century, the city prospered to become a world-leading industrial center.

Overcoming much of its recent political turbulence, Belfast has emerged as a vibrant destination of beautiful Victorian buildings, stylish boutiques, and charming old pubs.

Ísafjörður, Iceland

Few regions are as wild and unspoiled as Iceland’s Westfjords. The landscape is dramatic and approaching by sea offers the perfect chance to absorb the scenery before setting foot on land.

Embrace local life in Ísafjörður town or visit the charming nearby village of Flateyri. Further afield you can sail to Vigur, home to Iceland’s last remaining windmill, where time has seemingly stood still.
