Europe Cruise Destination Guide
From the romantic getaways of Fance and Spain, to the historical sights of Germany and the Netherlands, a European cruise or river cruise takes you to some of the most beautiful and exciting destinations in Europe.
During the Summer months, many of the cruise ships reposition to Europe and the Mediterranean. Mostly sailing from Southampton, cruises will visit Iberian destinations such as Vigo, Lisbon & Villefranche, or why not try a more adventurous cruise sailing up to Germany and transiting the Keil Canal. Europe definately has something to offer for every type of cruise passenger.
If you are looking for something a little bit different, European River Cruises are just the thing. Sail through the heart of France and see the Eiffel Tower along the magnificent
river Seine. Or sail through Germany all the way to Romania on the river Danube. A Europe river cruise is also the perfect way to see all that Amsterdam & the Netherlands has to offer.
Brugges and Zeebrugge are often popular destinations for weekend breaks from Southampton, these are usually 1-3 night short break cruises.
Most European cruises sail from Southampton so they do not involve the need to fly. This gives you, in most cases, no luggage weight restrictions and offers a hassle free way to travel.
