European Cruises

Whether you are looking for culture, history, romance, adventure, world class wines, gourmet food, or simple luxurious relaxation then a Southern European cruise is a vacation that fits any or all of these criteria with room to spare. You can book passage to the Mediterranean, Adriatic, Black, Ionian or Aegian Seas aboard a massive luxury ocean liner or an exclusively private yacht big enough for you and a dozen of your closest friends and family. Visit the most beautiful regions of Southern Europe including the Greek Islands, Italy, Portugal, France, Spain, Croatia, Turkey or the Canary Islands. Your vacation will allow you to enjoy the very best these ancient European regions have to offer, including the incredible art and architecture for which the continent is so renowned.

There are literally hundreds, if not thousands of possible combinations when it comes to planning your itinerary for a Southern European cruise. If this is merely an add-on to a larger vacation then you can book a short five day voyage like an Italian cruise with a cruise line like Costa or MSC. At the other end of the spectrum you can take a month long Odyssey of the Western Mediterranean aboard one of Seabourn’s majestic yachts. See Barcelona, Monte Carlo and everything in between on this incredible adventure.

Often your voyage in Southern Europe will have a theme, catering to the interests of a specific group of people. Wine tasting or the exploration of archaeological ruins are two popular choices, and meeting new people and making new friends becomes much easier because you are among a group of people who share common interests.

Choosing a cruise can be almost as interesting as the voyage itself, and if you are traveling on an ocean liner with Carnival, Holland America or Disney you will enjoy more amenities and have access to more activities than you will aboard one of Seabourn’s, Cunard’s or Crystal Cruises’ luxury yachts. But, if you are finding it difficult to stay entertained aboard ship and you are looking for a little extra adventure all the major cruise lines offer a fantastic range of shore excursions that you can book to enhance your vacation.

Regardless of whether you book passage aboard a floating hotel, or a private 12 person yacht it will be the incredible ports of call you visit, the magnificent sights you see, and the wonderful people you meet along the way that will really make your Southern European cruise a memorable one. Truly the vacation experience of a lifetime.
