European Cruises

Avoid the expensive Euro-to-dollar exchange rate and take the hassle out of planning - cruise Europe! Why deal with having to find a hotel in each city, catching the right trains, or getting lost in a rental car? A cruise is not only the most convenient and stress-free option, it's also the most affordable. Plus, you could get an even better deal with reduced airfare from select gateways - just ask your travel consultant for details!

The secret is out - the unbeatable value has made European cruises so popular that many of the top fleets have moved a record number of ships to the Mediterranean, the U.K., and Scandinavia. From the Coliseum in Rome to Stonehenge in England, experience the rich history and cultural charm of the Old World. Choose from 15 cruise lines sailing to nearly 500 ports in almost 40 countries ... the possibilities for adventure are endless. And it's never been easier to wake up in a different country each morning!

Europe is relatively small as continents go. And since it's surrounded by water, it only makes sense to explore it by sea, where the grandeur of Europe is never out of sight. Step ashore in Istanbul where the brilliance of golden domes is matched only by the dazzling Mediterranean sun. Gaze upon the awesome fjordlands of Norway. Stand before the inscrutable Sphinx and ponder awhile. Tour the grand palaces filled with the works of Michelangelo, Donatello and da Vinci. Wander through the medieval castles and Gothic cathedrals; the gilded concert halls where the operas of Puccini and Verdi, and the symphonies of Mozart and Beethoven and Chopin were first performed.

But there are also other sides of Europe. There's the glitzy, glamorous Europe in the famous resorts of the French Riviera. And there's the everyday Europe, too. The busy thoroughfares of London with their two-decker buses and cozily crowded pubs. The sprawling cafes of Paris where office workers munch baguettes and sip espressos. It's more than a way of discovering the Old World, its a way of discovering the fabric that makes up the very core of our own culture.
