Cruise Holidays to Europe and the Mediterranean

Europe and the Mediterranean regions in brief

The Mediterranean

Not only this region is one of the most enjoyable to cruise due to the historic places, romantic cities and beautiful islands, but it also ensures a fantastic summer holiday and top quality resorts. Expect to find amazing ruins from the ancient Greeks, Romans and Egyptians; non-stop night life in several different countries and the most beautiful sandy beaches.

Tourists can choose among Eastern, Southern and Western Mediterranean cruises. The first one travels along the Greek islands in the Aegean Sea, including cosmopolitan Mykonos and Santorini. Southern Mediterranean goes to Egypt and some other important ports in Northern Africa. Finally Western Mediterranean cruise along the Cote d'Azur, la Costa brava and volcanic Sicily.

Europe

During Summer time, cruises sail to Western and Northern Europe including the British Isles. Spain and Portugal are amongst the most remarkable destinations, with ports such as Cadiz and Lisbon on the Atlantic Ocean where tourist can have a great time onshore; also the Bay of Biscay and the Straits of Gibraltar are normally covered by these routes.

The Baltic Sea

Russia, Poland, Norway, Finland, Germany and Denmark do not sound as the warmest or most attractive destinations to cruise, but the dramatic scenery and the hidden treasures of the area make them worth a visit. Explore the Medieval Baroque architecture of Scandinavia, contemplate an astonishing sunshine in the Arctic Circle and visit celebrated St Petersburg, including its famous palaces and towers. Spend a week or a fortnight visiting the most renowned ports in Holland and the Scandinavia.
