A Western European cruise is a convenient way to include visits to a number of great cities in one vacation. It can also be an economical alternative to touring this part of Europe on land or by air. Ships are smaller so you'll have a more intimate experience, plus you can call into ports that larger ships often have to skip. Most cruises depart from British ports like Dover or Tilbury, but cruises that combine Western and Northern European stops leave from Amsterdam and Rotterdam.
See the famous sights of European capitals like London, Paris and Amsterdam. Explore the wild natural beauty of Iceland or Scotland's Shetland or Orkney islands. Experience the charm of the Irish countryside or Bruges' historic city centre.
