Fine art, incredible food, and historic cities are all part of the experience on European cruises.

Leave no cobblestone unturned. A Europe cruisetour lets you step off the beaten path and immerse yourself in history. Sip vino in a Roman wine bar, hop the Chunnel to London, or taste tapas in Madrid. East meets west on a cruise that might take you from historic central Europe to the dazzling cities of the Riviera to exotic towns perched on the edge of Asia

When you cruise Northern Europe, discover a side of Europe many people never see: the charming cities and stunning landscape of Scandinavia, and Old-World Baltic capitals. Even if your crossing is not punctuated by a stop in Bermuda or the Bahamas, you'll find plenty to do onboard. Itineraries longer than eight or nine days usually include visits to European ports.

There's no better way to see a lot of Europe in a short amount of time than on a cruise. You'll get to explore world-class cities while taking in splendid scenery. It's the ancient land of legends and kings, where empires were built and destroyed. Dreams and ideas came to fruition here, on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel and in the grand halls of St. Petersburg. Today, the call of Europe is stronger than ever, with its brilliant mosaic of bygone eras and modern-day wonders. Stand at the base of the temple of Poseidon and it's as if you were at the threshold of modern civilization. But look beyond the hilltops of Athens, to the intricate canals of Venice or the gothic cathedrals of Spain; gaze northward to the shores of Normandy or the cliffs of Edinburgh; reach for the great Viking waters of Norway or the virgin tundra of North Cape. Only then will you begin to comprehend the scope and history of this most wondrous continent
