EXPLORE | NORTHERN EUROPE

NORTHERN EUROPE Dramatic landscapes and refined cities define the Northern Europe itineraries, calling at stops as diverse as Poland, Germany, Norway, Lithuania and the United Kingdom. This is a region where a single sailing can take you from the cobbled streets of a medieval Baltic port to the foot of a Norwegian glacier. From May, Baltic departures from Kiel sail through Denmark and Sweden, while Nordic itineraries journey deeper into some of Europe's most extraordinary scenery. Glide into Haugesund, birthplace of Norway's Viking kings or cruise the full length of the Sognefjord, the longest and deepest fjord in the country. Visit Stavanger, where colourful wooden houses line the old quarter and visitors can take boat trips into the dramatic Lysefjord.
