Northern Europe
Discover Northern Europe
In this region of striking contrasts, lands of fairytale castles and rolling hills stretch from the Scottish Highlands to the Irish countryside, while former Hanseatic League cities in Latvia and Estonia demonstrate their wealth in centuries of spectacular architecture. Small-group excursions ashore immerse you in iconic capitals like London, Edinburgh, Stockholm and Helsinki, while also exploring natural wonders like the dramatic coastline of Giant’s Causeway outside Belfast and Denmark’s remote oasis of the Faroe Islands.
Regions of Northern Europe
The countries surrounding the Baltic Sea offer a wealth of fascinating history and diverse culture. A cruise through the canals of Copenhagen and Stockholm provides a colorful introduction to these Scandinavian capitals, while an enlightening stroll through two UNESCO-protected cities reveals the renowned Art Nouveau architecture of Riga and the Gothic, Baroque and Russian influences along the streets of Tallinn.
Navigate the River Thames on our intimate yachts and dock in the heart of London by the iconic Tower Bridge. Explore Scottish cities like Edinburgh and Glasgow, discover picturesque fishing villages on the shores of scenic lochs, and taste fine Scotch whisky. Offshore islands possess surprising treasures, including the mystical Neolithic monuments of Orkney and Isle of Lewis.
The capital of Northern Ireland, Belfast welcomes you to lush botanic gardens, the fascinating Ulster Museum and a massive Titanic exhibition on the dock where the ill-fated ship was built. Ireland’s capital of Dublin marries medieval cathedrals with urban parks, modern galleries and the famous Guinness Storehouse. Outside the cities on the Emerald Isle, visit Blarney Castle in the verdant countryside of Cork or marvel at the Cliffs of Moher outside Galway.
Expedition Experience: Cultural
Explore the vibrant history, modern architecture, local art scenes and culinary traditions of these diverse lands with a variety of immersive small-group excursions ashore. Local experts, such as diplomats, architects, professors or culinarians, join guests on board to further enrich the cultural experience with enlightening lectures and interactive programs.
Featured Ports of Call
Human history is on display in the renowned Ulster Museum, while geological history can be witnessed in the remarkable basalt formations on the shores of nearby Giant’s Causeway, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
From the ancient hand-illuminated Book of Kells preserved in Trinity College to the iconic beer produced in Guinness Storehouse, this storied capital showcases masterpieces both sacred and secular.
With colossal castles rising on the shores of placid lakes and heathered fields stretching toward the horizon, there is far more beneath the surface of this gateway to the Scottish Highlands than just the myth and mystery of “Nessie”.
The heart of Scotland’s capital is the Royal Mile, which leads from the hilltop Edinburgh Castle to the grand Palace of Holyroodhouse with the chance to shop for Scottish wool or whisky along the way.
With striking architecture as varied as medieval St. Olaf’s Church and the onion domes of Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, Tallinn boasts a treasure trove of ancient convents, churches and guild houses in an Old Town that has earned its place as a UNESCO World Heritage site.
While the Faroe Islands are known for their dramatic natural beauty of waterfalls cascading down soaring seacliffs, the capital of Tórshavn also displays beautiful works of human artistry in the national museum and art gallery.
