Choose the country you would like to visit.

Denmark Cruise

The country of the greatest ever fairytale writer welcomes its visitors with all the charm of a Nordic land. Here nature and man's works blend in perfect harmony. The sea enters through the canals and touches the walls of historic buildings. The Faroe islands belong to Denmark, an archipelago where nature, history and modern technology offer visitors a truly unique experience.

England Cruise

England offers history and tradition in abundance, best illustrated in its great cities and towns, rich monuments and museums. Nature lovers will appreciate its rich and varied coastline, from pretty bays and harbours to dramatic cliffs and beautiful beaches.

Estonia Cruise

Nestled between the Baltic Sea and the Gulf of Finland is Estonia, a land rich in natural resources, forests and fertile plains. The northernmost of the Baltic states, in the last few centuries it was occupied by the Danish, Germans, Swedes and more recently Russians, until it became independent in 1991. The country's capital, Tallinn, is famous for its very active open-air theatres and its art galleries, and every year it hosts a world-famous music festival.

Finland Cruise

If you're looking for wide-open unspoilt spaces, if you love nature and sports, if you want to combine pure relaxation with extreme fun, without missing out on high culture events for all tastes, then Finland, "the country of a thousand lakes", is the best place for you. Its capital, Helsinki, is well worth discovering; lively during the day and by night, with many museums and restaurants, where history and style can be found on every corner.

France Cruise

Superlative and picturesque, sophisticated and simple: there is a lot to be said about this great nation that combines Northern European cosmopolitan chic with the sunny atmosphere of the Mediterranean. The northern coasts on the North Sea are as dramatic as the sea itself; in contrast, the south is as colourful as the deep blue Mediterranean sea.

Germany Cruise

In the heart of Europe, a bridge between the north and south of the continent, a cradle of European culture and a powerhouse of new trends. Tradition and modernity come together in the landscapes, culture and people of this nation, as in the city of Lubeck, founded around 1000 AD and still to this day an important centre for tourism and trade in Germany.

Ireland Cruise

Known as the “Emerald Isle” for its abundance of green countryside, Ireland is one of the most fascinating and mysterious of the British Isles.

Latvia Cruise

Latvia is in the very heart of the Baltic states. It has a picturesque natural landscape with broad plains, small ranges of hills that are no higher than 300m and a broad gulf on the Baltic Sea that gives its name to the capital, Riga. In this historic city, founded in the 12th Century, the older quarters preserve many Medieval buildings, and visitors can choose from among more than 30 museums.

Lithuania Cruise

Lithuania is the largest of the Baltic states: 65,300 km² of picturesque plains, dotted with lakes and hills. The ancient traditions of this land are reflected in the language of its people and in the colourful souvenirs that visitors can find along its city streets: amber, linen, clay vases and high-quality ceramics famed for their design.

Netherlands Cruise

Characterised by its almost exclusively flat terrain the Netherlands is famous for its windmills, tulips, canals, wooden clogs and cheese. Amsterdam, noted for its mix of ancient tradition and bold liberalism, and also known as the "Venice of the north", is the capital of this small nation, which has some fascinating and unique attractions.

Poland Cruise

A land of ancient traditions, bridging European culture and the customs of the Baltic countries, it is a must-see on any tour of the northern seas. The charming atmosphere of this country is best represented by its cities, among which are Gdynia, modern-day Gdansk, with its splendid buildings: evidence of the city’s glorious rich past and a sign of its dazzling present.

Russia Cruise

Visiting Russia on a cruise is the most unusual and intriguing way to discover the charm of this country. Its sea ports, which continue the legacy of booming commerce and intense cultural exchange with the rest of the world, preserve some truly unique treasures, such as Saint Petersburg, which is still to this day a symbol of Russian culture. With a stroll on the city's romantic bridges, or a visit to the masterpieces housed in the Hermitage, Russia can satisfy even the most demanding of visitors.

Sweden Cruise

The Swedish countryside is magnificent, with surprisingly beautiful and diverse landscapes: mountains, a myriad of lakes, vast expanses of sweet-scented forests and woodland, gorgeous beaches and green meadows; but also fabulous cities, with picturesque old centres historic and modern buildings of significant architectural merit, museums, restaurants, cosy cafes and bars and, of course, plenty of shopping and a huge range of arts and crafts and designer items.
