Northern Europe touring and cruising holidays
Just a short hop across the Channel by Eurostar or ferry, you can explore some truly fascinating cities on our sightseeing tours of Northern Europe. Beautiful Amsterdam never fails to astound and delight. Watch bizarre, customised bikes and boats whizz by as you wander past old merchants' villas and canal cafes. And if you love cafe culture, Brussels isn't just for bureaucrats. With its surrealist art and sublime chocolate, historic churches and cool clubs, this charming city fuses French and Flemish style.
Venture up to the Baltics and can take in Estonia's historic Tallinn, where medieval churches nestle alongside cool boutiques on the quaint cobbled streets. Riga in Latvia is equally impressive: a lively metropolis with Art Nouveau architecture, and a historic old quarter with steeples and turrets.
Cruise Northern Europe with us - and fall for its historic centres and hidden gems.
