Our cruises in the Mediterranean and Northern Europe provide a terrific way to explore the continent's many cultures and historic landmarks. Each day of your voyage brings new sights, like magnificent Gothic cathedrals, fabled palaces, Old World cities and picturesque harbor towns laced with cobblestone streets.

We've secured the deepest discounts available for European cruises. Click any link below for a complete list of options.

Mediterranean cruise itineraries typically range from seven to 14 days and are most numerous from late April through October, though there are ships in the region year-round. Many sailings visit Spain, France, Italy and Greece.

Below, I've listed the most popular departure ports for Mediterranean cruises, click any port for a list of sailings:

Athens
Barcelona
Genoa
Istanbul
Lisbon
Marseille
Monte Carlo
Naples
Rome
Savona
Southampton
Valletta
Venice

Due to the cool climate, the most popular time for cruising in Northern Europe is from May through August, but you'll still find departures at other times of the year. Itineraries generally range from seven to 14 days, and most sail in the Baltic Sea to legendary port cities like Amsterdam, Stockholm and Copenhagen. There also are cruises that concentrate on the British Isles or the Norwegian Fjords.

Below, I've listed the most popular departure ports for Baltic cruises, click any port for a list of sailings:

Amsterdam
Bergen
Berlin
Copenhagen
Kiel
London
Oslo
Stockholm

And below is a list of common departure ports for cruises of the British Isles, click any port name for a list of sailings:

Amsterdam
Copenhagen
Dublin
Glasgow
London

Finally, many of our customers like to extend their European vacation with a pre- or post-cruise hotel stay and city tour. Pre-cruise stays are especially popular because this gives you time to rest up after a long flight. Our travel counselors can arrange a hotel stay and tour for you in any city, for as many days as you wish.

A small number of countries still require visiting cruise passengers to be vaccinated and/or tested and any voyages that visit these countries must follow these requirements. We recommend that you verify the latest rules with your Vacations To Go cruise counselor at the time of booking.

To view all sailings that welcome unvaccinated travelers, click the cruise line name below:

To keep you abreast of all the latest cruise line policies, we have compiled a summary of pre-cruise testing and vaccination protocols organized by cruise line. You can find them on our home page under the link entitled "Relaxed Vaccination & Testing Rules" or by clicking here.

Finally, if you're holding a future cruise credit (FCC) from a previous cancellation, you can use it on any sailing offered by Vacations To Go (on the same cruise line that issued the FCC) regardless of whether the original cruise was booked through Vacations To Go.

We will keep you up-to-date as cruise line policies change over time.
