Join us for a cruise of Northern Europe and explore these incredible natural wonders in maximum style and comfort. From volcanoes and waterfalls to mountains and forests, photography enthusiasts will certainly be kept busy on a holiday here. Those with a passion for wildlife are also sure to be delighted with the animal-watching opportunities on offer. Catching a glimpse of the local bears, wolves, reindeer, whales, and the rather mysterious narwhals that call this expansive region home is sure to create treasured lifelong memories for many.

Of course, this region is also home to many vibrant cities, full of wonderful culture. Museums, historical sites and world-class art collections are plentiful, set against a backdrop of some of the world's most beautiful architecture. From Oslo's National Gallery to the marvellous baroque palaces of St Petersburg, there is definitely no shortage of fascinating heritage to discover. Whether Stockholm, Belgium, or Amsterdam, there are also ample chances to get a shopping fix and to hunt for treasured souvenirs to take home, while the enchanting Christmas markets make for a particularly joyful festive experience.
