Our Favorite European and Mediterranean Cruises Websites
From cool Baltic Capitals and Scandinavian fjords to warm beaches in Cannes and the open markets of Marrakesh, European and Mediterranean cruises have become a way of life for many travelers. On what other vacation could you unpack ONCE yet be able to visit a range of destinations as diverse as Turkey and Malta?

Many cruise lines are offering European and Mediterranean itineraries, often at exceptional prices. The variety of lines, ships, itineraries and budgets is extraordinary. Barge through the rivers of France or indulge in the luxury of a balcony suite on the Radisson Seven Seas "Mariner." Take the family on a Royal Caribbean cruise around Western Europe, or honeymoon on the boutique ships of Renaissance Cruises.

Norwegian Cruise Line's Europe
The first cruise line to offer "Freestyle Cruising," NCL has a wide range of European destinations and itineraries.

Ideal for families because of its "choose when you dine" options, the two ships on the Europe route are classy and spacious. The Norwegian Sun is brand new, the Norwegian Dream has been reconfigured and updated. (The Norway makes her final Transatlantic voyage this fall.)

Royal Olympic Cruises Eastern Mediterranean
This site is so easy to navigate that I wish other Webmasters would use it as a template.

Royal Olympic offers nine small to medium size ships of various vintages, the newest also being the largest, with capacity of 836 passengers.

The line offers three to seven day cruises from Greece or Italy, and while the ships are modest, the itineraries are great and the prices even better.
