We know we want to travel to Europe; the question is how long do we want to stay and how much do we want to see? Did you know that Norwegian Cruise Line offers cruises longer than a week? Onboard a Norwegian Cruise Line ship, you can travel through Europe on at 10+ day cruise and experience more countries, more culture, and more fun!

We’ve asked our Cruises International Travel Advisors which destinations are most sought after right now, the answer may surprise you…A Mediterranean cruise with a visit to Istanbul. A land with historic landmarks, vibrant cities, beautiful beaches, and excellent food. It is very diverse, having both elements of European and Oriental flair. From traditional teas to the buzzing bazaars, the locals are well known for their hospitality. It will be an experience not soon forgotten!

Iceland, with a chilly name, is one of Europe’s hottest destinations! It is known as the “Land of Fire and Ice”. You will find glaciers, hot springs, geysers, active volcanoes and beautiful waterfalls. The most famous attraction is the Blue Lagoon, a geothermal spa with enriched mineral waters.

There are so many wonderful itineraries it’s hard to choose! Some of the magnificent Euopean sailings are on Norwegian Cruise Line’s newest ships.

The Norwegian Prima, recently made it’s debut to outstanding reviews. It is currently the most requested ship in the Norwegian fleet, and we expect the Norwegian Viva (her sister ship) will share the same results.

Safe Travels!

We do enjoy recommending cruising with Norwegian Cruise Line. It is such a great value on some of the most beautiful ships at sea. The old days of being on a set dining schedule are long gone. They were the first to do away with the strict dining schedules and offering more freedom to choose.

If you think you only have 7 day options, you will be surprised to know they offer up to 21 day Extraordinary Journeys that allow you a more immersive experience.

It is still amazing to me after all these years that you can have an entire vacation and have it still be less expensive than dinner, and hotel for the same time frame. Waking up in a new port or country every day is just a bonus. Plus, with award winning Broadway shows, live on board games (like trivia, Bingo, Deal or No Deal), the value continues to climb.

The newest ships have been designed with passengers in mind. Larger living spaces and more balconies are what everyone wants. But the option to elevate your stay is always there.

Hidden away at the top of the ship, guests The Haven have many extras included. It is accessible only by key-card and offers their most luxurious accommodations. Enjoy unparalleled service of a butler & concierge. Relax in your king sized bed, elegant bath or on your private balcony. Cabins can sleep up to 8 guests.

Once you’ve stayed in the Haven you may never want to cruise any other way. From dramatic floor to ceiling windows to the little extra touches--like gourmet treats delivered to your room daily!

Our advisors would love to design the perfect vacation to fit your specific needs. They work closely with your budget to get the most value for your vacation dollar. Let them compare among all your choices and make recommendations with only you and your lifestyle preferences in mind.

Happy travels!

Maybe because it was one of my 1st cruises back when I started in the business in the 1970’s, or maybe because of the phenomenal evolution of this great line that I have had the pleasure to witness over the years, but Norwegian Cruise Line is quickly becoming a guest favorite.

Many of you may think of Norwegian as Caribbean 7-Day Itineraries but think again. We highly recommend one of their uniquely designed Extraordinary Journeys that allow you more immersive experience. Discover how the journey can change you. Enjoy the most spectacular scenery of your life on the 10- and 11-Day itineraries, or longer on the brand-new Norwegian Prima from London to Northern Europe. This Extraordinary Journeys itinerary includes Iceland, the Norwegian Fjords, and Belgium. You will not be disappointed! The Norwegian Prima which came out to astounding industry reviews only last year, makes these cruises a tremendous value.

Other remarkable port cities are Santorini in Greece, Port Victoria in the Seychelles, Safaga in Egypt allowing you to experience the awe of the Valley of the Kings, Bora Bora in French Polynesia, or spend the day on a safari tour from Richard’s Bay in South Africa. This is today’s Norwegian Cruise Line, showing you the world from state-of-the-art ships with amazing dining venues, and extraordinary entertainment.

Our friendly and knowledgeable advisors can show you your many options, including our pre-reserved cabins that offer you the best price along with our great service. They will compare among all your choices and make recommendations with only you and your lifestyle preferences in mind.

Safe travels!
