do not want to fly with ships cruising from Southampton, Dover and Harwich.

time cruiser or for a weekend / short break with cruises ranging
from 1 night up to 17 nights.

& Russia, Norwegian Fjords cruises and cruising the North Cape including
Iceland.

history and lifestyle in one holiday – offering you the chance to explore
places that you would not normally consider for a holiday choice.

Le Havre , Amsterdam , Zeebrugge (for Brussells), Vigo and Bilbao in Spain

When is the best time to go?
• These cruises usually sail between May to September
, the low priced cruises in may sell out fast and the Summer school holiday
departures usually have some late bargains closer to departure.
• Look out for some lower priced cruises which depart from Amsterdam
or Copenhagen for cruising the Baltic and countries such as Denmark, Finland,
Norway, Sweden, Germany and the Netherlands.
• When cruising St Petersburg in Russia it is necessary
to obtain a visa before you travel if you want to get off the ship and
do your own thing in St Petersburg. If you book one of the organised excursions
offered by the cruise line they will organise the visa for you.
