Best European Cruises

Filed in archive Sea Travel on April 28, 2007

With the kind of weather that most of Europe is having, we might as well stay in the continent this summer. Why travel thousands of miles away when you have exactly the same weather that you have been wishing for?

And when it comes to cruising, imho, Europe has some great options which would suit every man's taste.

Smarter Travel has kindly collated the 10 Best Europe Cruises.

Let's check some of them out...

12-night western Mediterranean is perfect for those of you who would like to see the famous cities in Europe. You can board Carnival Freedom which sails from Civitavecchia in Rome and stops in Naples (for Pompeii and Capri), Venice, Sicily, and Livorno (for Florence, Pisa, and Cinque Terre), Italy; Dubrovnik, Croatia; Barcelona, Spain; and Cannes, France.

Seven-night western Mediterranean is for those who only have a limited vacation time and would like to combine land tour and a cruise. RCCL's Voyager of the Seas offer this kind of cruise from Barcelona. "The ship calls in Villefranche (for Nice), France; and Livorno, Civitavecchia, Naples, and Sicily, Italy."

Eastern Mediterranean focuses on ruins and historical sites, particularly in Greece and Turkey. Celebrity's Galaxy offers cruises ranging from 7 to 14 nights. "The ship departs from Civitavecchia (Rome) and calls at Mykonos, Rhodes, Santorini, Piraeus (for Athens), Greece; Istanbul and Kusadasi (for Ephesus), Turkey; and Naples, Italy."

Or, if you are so inclined, you can also cruise around the Greek Isles, visit the Baltic capitals or the Norweigan Fjords.

Save yourself the cost, time and stress of a transatlantic flight and re-discover Europe this summer.
