About Northern Europe Cruises

Along the coast of Norway, visit Hanseatic Bergen renowned for its iconic waterfront, Art-Nouveau Alesund, and the world’s northernmost town, Hammerfest. Other popular ports of call on Norway cruises from the UK are Honningsvag, gateway to the incredible North Cape, and the Arctic capital of Tromso, overlooked by a beautiful triangular cathedral which hosts midnight concerts. Norway’s town and cities complement the awe-inspiring scenery of the fjords, including picture-postcard Geirangerfjord.

A cruise from the UK to Iceland promises natural wonders and incredible scenery. Cruise lines dock at Akureyri, Iceland’s second largest city as it is just a stone’s throw from the spectacular beauty of the North. It is possible to discover the Myvatn region and the thundering Godafoss waterfall. A voyage to Iceland wouldn’t be complete without a visit to the Icelandic capital of Reykjavik, which is home to magnificent mosaics and sculptures. This small capital city is also the gateway to the Golden Circle with its lava fields, geysers and mud pools, and the famous Blue Lagoon.

The Baltic cities offer a wealth of history, culture and architecture. Many cruise lines moor overnight in St Petersburg allowing ample time to see the sights, including the Hermitage with its outstanding art collection, and ornate Peterhof Palace renowned for its landscaped gardens and stunning fountains. Other highlights on Baltic cruises from the UK include the Estonian capital of Tallinn with its well-preserved medieval quarter, Helsinki which is overlooked by the onion-domed Uspenski Cathedral, and Stockholm, built on 14 islands and connected by more than 50 bridges.

Stay closer to home and cruise from a regional UK port around the beautiful British Isles. Enjoy visits to lively cities including Belfast, home to the fascinating Titanic Belfast museum, and Dublin, the lively capital of the Emerald Isle which promises an eclectic mix of architecture, from medieval to Georgian and modern. The islands of the British Isles are no less impressive. Discover picturesque Lerwick in the Shetland Islands, Kirkwall, overlooked by the spectacular St Magnus Cathedral and capital of the Orkney Islands, and Tobermory’s colourful waterfront on a visit to the Isle of Mull.
