Holidays to Europe

The green valleys and mighty fjords of Scandinavia, the imposing Alps, the sun-kissed beaches of the Mediterranean, majestic waterways, cosmopolitan cities and a myriad of histories and cultures - Europe encompasses all this and more. Whether you're enjoying a stein of beer in Munich, marvelling at Renaissance treasures in Florence, admiring the glittering Aegean and blue domes of Greek islands, tucking into Spanish tapas or dining on French haute cuisine, skiing down the Swiss slopes or sailing around Sardinia, hiking the Irish coastline or whirling around dancing a Viennese waltz in Vienna, or discovering the delights of Dubrovnik, there's a smorgasbord of beauty to be witnessed, delicacies to be tasted, and fun to be had in Europe!


Europe's coastlines - from the Mediterranean in the south to the Baltic in the north - are ideal for cruising, including from our own shores to avoid flying! Plus with iconic rivers such as the Rhine and Danube, as well as the Douro, Dutch & Belgian Waterways, and the French rivers - each offering something distinctive and characteristic - Europe is incredibly popular for river cruising, too.
