Cruising Northern Europe

Towering glaciers and fjords that take your breath away; quaint Scandinavian fishing villages and the legendary cities of Russia and the Baltic; Viking mythology and the Midnight Sun.  This is Northern Europe.

A World to Discover
From Europe’s rustic villages to magnificent cities, each destination is brought to life with illuminating regional offerings.

Journey to Scandinavia and Russia
See the imperial palaces and majestic cathedrals of incredible St. Petersburg, history-filled Berlin and the storybook capitals of Scandinavia, including quaint Copenhagen and lovely Stockholm.

The British Isles
Explore lands of verdant and dramatic shores, age-old castles, rich mythologies, and friendly, welcoming people, the British Isles are certain to inspire wonderful times and great memories.

Iceland – The Blue Lagoon
One of the most popular Icelandic attractions is a “hotspot” that draws more than 400,000 visitors a year – the fabled Blue Lagoon.  With warm geothermal waters drawn from more than a mile beneath the Svartsengi Power Plant, the Blue Lagoon is renowned for the restorative properties of its vividly aquamarine waters.

Iceland and Norway
What would be more thrilling than sailing waters once ruled by Vikings, setting eyes on impressive fjords, geothermal wonders and perhaps even the Midnight Sun in Norway and Iceland? 

Fantastic Fjords
Some of cruising’s most dramatic sights are to be found in northern latitudes – like the glacier-carved landscapes of Norway and Iceland.  Fjords are deep water-filled canyon channels and steep cliff faces, carved by the advancing and retreating of glaciers.

Land of The Midnight Sun
As the days grow longer in the far north, the “sunset” never quite reaches the horizon before rising back up again.  The summer sun remains in the sky for a full 24 hours.  It’s called the Midnight Sun, something you can only see if you venture inside the Arctic Circle at precisely the right time of year.

Passage Cruises
In the golden age of cruising, guests loaded their travel trunks and sailed across oceans between continents.  It’s still an unforgettable experience.

Northern Ireland’s Majesty
In Northern Ireland, the landscapes are spectacular and the attractions impressive.  Set on either side of the River Lagan, graceful Belfast – the capital of Northern Ireland – boasts beautiful Victorian and Edwardian architecture and a thriving cultural life.  Beyond Belfast’s borders, you’ll discover sights like the Giant’s Causeway – one of the world’s great natural wonders and a UNESCO World Heritage Site – and the magnificent scenery of the Antrim Coast, including the dramatic cliff-side ruins of Dunluce Castle.  Be sure not to miss Carrickfergus Castle, one of the best preserved Norman castles in all Northern Ireland.
