Europe Cruises 2026-2027: Dates & Prices

European cruises span far more than the Mediterranean: Norwegian fjords, the Baltic capitals, the British Isles and the great rivers — Rhine, Danube and Douro — all sail from ports like Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Southampton and Lisbon.

Ocean giants such as MSC, Royal Caribbean and Norwegian share the field with river-cruise specialists like Viking, AmaWaterways and Avalon. Seven-night itineraries are standard; longer voyages combine several countries in one trip.
