Learn More About Our New Season of 2025 Europe Cruises

Our newest ship in Europe, Celebrity Ascent℠, visits a new port of call, Bar, Montenegro—a charming port city that offers a blend of history, culture, and natural beauty. If Iceland is on your bucket-list, we’re adding a new port of call there as well, the quaint village of Djupivogur. This coastal gem has Viking origins, so if you’re looking for something off the beaten path, this is the place for you. We’re also adding round-trip sailings from Reykjavik for even more opportunities to explore this must-see destination. We’re also returning to Trondheim, Norway, and although it’s not a new port for us, we haven’t been there for more than 20 years, so it feels like new. This picturesque town is nestled in Trondheim fjord and is equal parts medieval and modern. We’re also returning to Amsterdam, the heart of the Netherlands, as a homeport, so you’ll have the opportunity before or after your sailing—or both—to discover all the wonders this modern city with a small-town vibe has to offer.

To be even more immersed in the local culture of the places you visit, we’ve added more overnight stays to give you a taste of the nightlife as well as offering more port visits of 12 hours or longer, so you can do and see even more while ashore. To get an incredibly in-depth experience in Europe, you can take a grand tour of up to 28 days, without repeating a single city, aboard Celebrity Equinox®. Simply book back-to-back itineraries, step aboard, and begin the journey of a lifetime. In fact, with six ships, six departure ports, and a wide variety of itineraries ranging from 7 to 11 nights that visit more than 23 countries, and 98 ports of call, you’re sure to find the perfect vacation in Europe to satisfy the explorer within.

Want to experience the best of Europe with time to experience everything our indulgent ships have to offer? Check that transatlantic crossing off your bucket list. Our new transatlantic itineraries begin in, and visit some of, the best cities in Europe, while giving you all the time you need to do everything you want on board—or simply relax, rejuvenate, and watch the brilliant ocean scenery, while you sail across the great Atlantic Ocean.

Mediterranean Cruise Ports of Call

Discover some of the world-renowned destinations that await you on a Mediterranean cruise with Princess.

Rooted in Greek mythology, Athens is alive with stories from civilizations of the past. On a cruise to Europe departing from Athens, arrive early to tour the remains of ancient lores — like the Temple of Olympian Zeus and Acropolis — dine at the city’s lively tavernas and admire iconic sculptures bathed in natural light within the Acropolis Museum.

Until it was popularized by the 1992 Olympics, Barcelona was a hidden gem amidst Europe’s diverse landscapes. Now it’s widely recognized for its architectural masterpieces and spirited customs. On European cruises from Barcelona, leave enough time before you depart to visit Park Güell — a UNESCO World Heritage Site — and feel inspired by the colors and unique artistry that lies in the park and throughout the entire city.

As one of the greenest islands in Greece, Corfu is an emerald treasure amidst the colorful Mediterranean landscape. From Paleokastritsa, hike to the mountaintop for unparalleled views of the Ionian Sea. Or get a taste of Corfu when you team up with a famous chef, and handpick local produce that they’ll use to prepare your lunch. Experience it all on a Greek cruise with Princess.

On a Mediterranean cruise to Livorno, travel to Florence or Pisa where artifacts abound. Capture snapshots of the Leaning Tower of Pisa, stop by Michelangelo’s David statue at the Accademia and walk up to the “Gates of Paradise” at the Baptistery. Or explore the countryside and meander through the region’s rolling hills that bear vineyards and green olive groves.

Nestled within Boka Bay lies a medieval gem. Kotor is enrobed in ancient houses, palaces and churches that speak to its 12th-century origins. On a Greek cruise, dine on Montenegrin cuisine in the home of a local chef, appreciate 14th-century Venetian art at St. Tryphon’s Cathedral and taste regional wines along the riviera. Or see another side of the city when you kayak through the tunnels of Lipa Cave.

As the largest port in the Mediterranean, Marseille is the gateway to opportunity. On a Mediterranean cruise, spend the day in Arles, and explore the landscapes that inspired much of Van Gogh’s artwork. Stroll through the MuSaMa, a soap museum, and create your own blend alongside a master soap maker. Or roam the city’s most popular landmark, Notre-Dame de la Garden, a Catholic basilica that overlooks the city.

Famous for its beaches and spirited lifestyle, Mykonos is the heartbeat of Greece. Embark on a jeep safari past the city’s windmills, lighthouses and lakes. Walk past temples and marble-lined sanctuaries in Delos, the birthplace of famous Greek gods. Or soak up a day of relaxation on the beach with the city’s Cycladic architecture as your backdrop — all on a Greek cruise with Princess.

Italy’s capital city is something of a dream. Grand chapels and stone angels line the roads, whispering secrets of Rome’s past. On a cruise to Europe from Rome, arrive early to toss a coin into Trevi Fountain. Legend has it, you’ll be guaranteed return to The Eternal City. Then walk in the footsteps of Emperors at the Colosseum, and receive a blessing from the Pope at St. Peter’s Square.

Santorini is the epitome of Greece. Wander into the welcoming cafes in Oia, a village teeming with whitewashed buildings and blue-domed roofs. Continue to some of the world’s oldest vineyards and taste the bouquet of wines produced on the island, making sure to visit the black-sand beach of Kamari before heading back to your Mediterranean cruise ship.

If you are interested in the longer Mediterranean cruises, you’ll love Princess® Epic Voyages. Learn more about our expertly curated itineraries for your next extraordinary adventure.

Why Cruise the Mediterranean

In lands where the culture is as flavorful as the cuisine, the splendor of the Mediterranean speaks for itself.

World-Class Dining

Captivating cuisine

With mouthwatering entrees and confections, the Mediterranean invites you to embark on a gourmet tour through iconic cities. Reawaken your taste buds with Italian classics like pastas, pizzas and gelato. Or fill your plate with gyros, keftethes and baklava on a Greek cruise. From breakfast to dinner and every delectable dessert in between, the best is before you with Princess.

Bold reds and crisp whites

The countryside of Italy and Greece are home to some of the most flavorful wines around the globe. With sun and warm temperatures year-round, vineyards are flourishing with grapes by the harvest season. Sip on Italy’s red wines, or sample Greece’s white blends. From sweet Lambruscos to earthy Bordeauxs, fill up your glass on a Mediterranean cruise with Princess.

Ancient Ruins

Where history comes to life

From towers and temples to cities and shorelines, the Mediterranean is sprinkled with remains of civilizations past. Step back in time on a tour through ancient ruins on a Mediterranean cruise with Princess. Imagine life as a gladiator at the Colosseum, explore Greek mythology at the Parthenon and discover the archeological excavations of Pompeii — a lost city and UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Art Galleries & Museums

Artistic ingenuity abounds

From the treasures on land to the jewels within museums, the Mediterranean is a true work of art. On an Italian cruise, see portraits from the Renaissance period at the Uffizi Museum in Florence, and admire Michelangelo’s masterpieces at the Vatican Museum in Rome. Or walk in the footsteps of celebrated artists that called these regions home — like Picasso and Dali — and allow their work to spark your creativity.

Sun-Kissed Beaches

A vision of natural beauty

Visions of sparkling coasts and crystalline waters welcome you to the Mediterranean. Dip your toes on the black-sand coast of Santorini on a Greek cruise. Head to Salerno to spend the day in Positano relaxing on the white beaches and admiring the pastel houses that decorate the cliffs around you. Or travel to Mykonos with your loved ones and daydream on the city’s long stretch of golden sand and stroll in the sunshine.

Mediterranean excursions

Our award-winning Mediterranean cruise shore excursions bring you to iconic beaches, landmarks and ancient artifacts. See the yacht-lined shores of Kotor while riding on a tuk tuk, an electric rickshaw. Savor the flavors of “Koum Kouat” liqueur, created from Corfu’s exclusive citrus plant. Or stroll along the streets of Dubrovnik’s Old town, one of the most well-preserved medieval cities in the world.

Local connections

From chefs and beverage makers to artists and guides, meet the many personalities that call the Mediterranean home with our Local Connections program. On a Mediterranean cruise, voyage to an olive tree farm just outside of Provence, and join your hosts for a unique olive oil tasting. Or explore the Archaeological Museum of Naples with a local artist, and accompany them for lunch to dive even deeper in Italy’s art scene.

More ashore

Enjoy even more opportunities to experience the colors, cultures and flavors of the Mediterranean with More Ashore late-night departures and overnight stays. Witness the beautiful sunset in Mykonos on a Greek cruise. Sit front-row for a flamenco dance, and savor a paella dinner during an evening in Barcelona. Or stroll the illuminated streets of Genoa with gelato in hand after a traditional Italian dinner.

Mediterranean Cruise Onboard Experience

Curated comfort, world-class entertainment and international flavors await you.

Accomodations

Your home away from home

Your stateroom is where you rest and recharge between adventures. That’s why every room is equipped with the expertly designed Princess Luxury Bed, 100% Jacquard-woven cotton linens and our SLEEP program created by a board-certified sleep expert. From interior cabins to full suites, unwind in any of our staterooms, and enjoy peace of mind with the option of connected rooms for families of four or more traveling together.

Flavors that inspire

From the zest of Provencal ratatouille to the sweetness of Greek Halva, the Mediterranean is bursting with flavor. On board most Princess ships, indulge in a pasta dinner at Sabatini’s℠, or savor local seafood at Crown Grill. While ashore, treat yourself to gelato in Italy or churros in Spain. From ship to shore, appease your appetite with one-of-a-kind dining experiences on every Mediterranean cruise itinerary.

Entertainment

Find your joy

Embark on adventures by day, and indulge in entertainment by night. Watch Movies Under the Stars® at our 300-square-foot outdoor theater. Attend original productions from Broadway legend Stephen Schwartz, composer of  Wicked . Or learn traditional moves, like Flamenco or Irish stepdance, and listen to popular music from the destinations on your itinerary. On a European cruise with Princess, the choice is yours.

Celebrations and Romance

Love blooms on the Love Boat

It's difficult to imagine something more romantic than sailing through the alluring cities and charming countryside of Europe. While on board your European cruise, we cater to your sentimental side with private dining on your balcony — like breakfast for two or a sunset dinner — honeymoon packages, flowers and chocolates delivered to your room and couples-only massages in the Sanctuary.

Youth & Teen Center

Step outside the classroom

Our European cruises were crafted with every guest in mind — even the younger ones. From 6-month old babies to 17-year old teens, kids can unwind and relax or play and explore. In partnership with Discovery™, kids can learn even more with special insights about Italy, Greece and everywhere in between. With engaging activities on board and ashore, kids can see history books come to life before their eyes.

Vegas hits the seas

Experience the thrill of cards, dice, roulette and blackjack at the casino onboard our European cruises. Learn from experts — like our staff or perhaps other guests nearby — and put your skills to the test. More casual players can pull up a seat at the slot machines for the same adrenaline at their own speed. For an afternoon full of games, join fellow travelers for Bingo, or compete in scheduled group tournaments.

Ships sailing Mediterranean cruises

Our Princess fleet includes ships that range from small to large vessels. From a balcony stateroom, marvel at breathtaking shorelines passing by before enjoying international cuisine in one of our many eateries during your Mediterranean cruise.

The Good, Bad, and Ugly of Our Princess British Isles Cruise

Posted: June 30, 2024 | Last updated: June 30, 2024

Some travel experiences exceed the hype, while others fall flat. Julie and I have traveled a lot, but we had yet to hop across the pond. So, we were excited to see Europe for the first time on a Princess British Isles cruise.

How was our experience? Well, it was a mixed bag. We will share our cruise's good, bad, and ugly in hopes that it helps you with your Europe cruise planning.

Disclosure : We received gifted products from adidas that we are sharing in this post. All opinions are our own.

Grade: Good 

The service on the Princess British Isles cruise was commendable. From the cruise director to the dining staff to the excursions desk, the entire team was exceptional. They were professional, friendly, and always ready to assist.

I have a shellfish allergy, so the assistant manager shared the following night's menu every evening, allowing me to place my order and ensuring no cross-contamination. When we ordered morning room service, they consistently delivered our breakfast a few minutes early. The line moved quickly when we had excursion questions, and the staff provided helpful expert guidance.

Grade: Bad 

I need to elaborate here. The cuisine in the sit-down dining rooms was tasty, and the service was excellent. Although the morning room service was timely, the food was not fresh. I told Julie, "It is sad when the best part of your breakfast is the bran muffin." 

How was the food in the buffet-style dining area? The dishes were hit-and-miss. Some tasted divine, while others completely missed the mark. I acknowledge it is challenging to create quality food for large groups. However, some of the dishes did not pass the test.

Julie and I went on a Princess Alaska cruise two years ago, and the food was excellent, so our expectations were high. Unfortunately, the British Isles cruise food was inconsistent and paled compared to our previous experience.

Accommodations

Grade: Good

Cruisers often ask about accommodations. Julie and I had such a fantastic experience with an aft room on our Alaska cruise that we chose one for the British Isles cruise. Ship accommodations typically feel cramped, but our room felt slightly more spacious than usual. 

For Alaska's Inside Passage, we had breathtaking views on both sides, an unforgettable experience. While a British Isles cruise does not yield many narrow stretches with land on each side, having an unobstructed view and privacy was still lovely. 

Julie studied the ship's floor plan and selected a room on floor 9. Her homework paid off, giving us an awning and a more spacious balcony than the rooms on levels 8 and 10.

Entertainment

Julie and I are kids at heart, spoiled by the high-quality entertainment on our past Disney cruises. It is unfair to compare a Princess cruise to Disney, but I must. The Disney cruise entertainment is excellent, and the Princess cruise entertainment is good.

In full disclosure, Julie and I did not attend every performance. What we did see was good. We talked to many other cruise passengers about this topic for different opinions. Overall, people enjoyed the entertainment, which included various acts like magic, comedy, cooking demonstrations, dancing, and singing. Some did not care for it at all. Our consensus is that the entertainment is good, but has yet to reach the excellent level.

What should have been great veered off course. The original plan was to depart from Southampton, England, and to make stops at Cork and Dublin, Ireland; Belfast, Northern Ireland; Holyhead, Wales; Glasgow, the Orkney Islands, and Edinburgh, Scotland; and a final stop at Le Havre so passengers could visit either Paris or Normandy, France. 

Julie and I were excited to visit six European countries and especially looked forward to Paris and the Orkney Islands. Inevitably, neither happened. A labor strike caused us to miss France altogether, and gusty winds led to us missing out on the Orkney Islands. 

Instead of France, we went to Portland, England, and received another day at sea rather than visiting the Orkney Islands. I understand the cruise line cannot control when labor strikes occur and that safety is the top priority. However, the Orkney Islands should be removed from the itinerary since only one of every two or three ships can dock there safely.

Missing out on Paris, the anticipated crown jewel, dampened our spirits. Some of our fellow passengers eagerly wanted to see Normandy to honor family members who served in World War II. It meant a lot to them, and the lost opportunity was visibly crushing. My heart goes out to them. Although we expected six, seeing five countries was an excellent experience. The moral of the story is to be flexible and expect changes whenever you take a cruise.

Although Julie and I enjoyed some excursions, we spent more time on a bus than exploring. We usually travel independently, having lots of freedom to explore. I knew the cruise excursions would limit this ability, but it proved frustrating. The bus often drove by something with unique natural beauty or historical significance without stopping. We darted through national parks, not experiencing them. It took everything I had not to scream, "Stop the bus! Let me out!" 

We also spent more time eating and shopping than visiting primary points of interest. I acknowledge the cruise line must cater to a group of people with varying ages and physical abilities. We chose the excursions that would best accomplish our goals. Ultimately, we needed more flexibility and time.

The moral of the story is to decide how to visit Europe based on your travel style. Cruise excursions are for you if you want to drive by the highlights. Otherwise, flying across the pond and renting a car is best.

Tour Guides

Grade: Ugly

A tour guide can make or break an excursion. Most of the tour guides from our Princess British Isles cruise were good. However, two lousy experiences lead me to give an ugly grade. One of our tour guides was a young man who either just started or couldn't care less about his job. When he shared information, which was not often, he read straight from the binder with an apathetic tone.

Another couple on the cruise, whom we are proud to call friends, had a horrible tour guide experience at Edinburgh Castle. In our case, the guide gave us headphones and shared insightful information as we walked. What about our friends? Their tour guide ditched the group to go shopping when they got off the bus. Considering how much cruise passengers pay for a unique experience, that is poor service.

I expected our weather to be bad. The United Kingdom is known for cloudy and rainy conditions. We visited during an unexpected "heat wave." Remember that term is relative to your experience, so it was still somewhat cool. We only had one day of rain when exploring on land, a pleasant surprise.

History says you should plan for wet weather. I suggest packing a rain jacket and layers for your Princess British Isles cruise. For layers, I love my adidas hoodies . They are warm and comfortable, providing better movement than other brands I have tried.

Bus Ride to the Airport

Upon disembarking the ship, Julie and I took one last excursion to Stonehenge. After the excursion, the bus driver took everyone to the airport. That is when things took a turn. 

Unfortunately, he dropped us off at the wrong terminal. Although he recognized the error, the driver refused to take us to the correct terminal. Beyond a poor impression and a bad taste as the final memory of the cruise, some passengers required canes or wheelchairs. It was a lengthy walk across areas of construction and high traffic. Although the bus driver is not an employee of Princess, it is ultimately a reflection of them. We were disappointed in the service and the lack of compassion. I am confident this act cost Princess some future business.

Plan Your British Isles Vacation

If you dream of visiting Europe, a cruise is an excellent way to sample various countries and determine which ones you want to explore further. Whether a Princess British Isles cruise is for you depends on which factors are most important to you. Julie and I enjoyed our vacation, seeing many new and fantastic places.

'You're not fighting the crowds' in Europe when you visit on a river cruise

Europe has no shortage of marquee tourist hot spots , but Diamond Meadows’ first river cruise there didn’t include them.

The 28-year-old graduate student took a cruise along the Rhine and Moselle rivers that took her to cities like Koblenz and Trier in Germany (she supplemented the sailing with train travel around Austria, Switzerland and elsewhere).

Meadows was traveling with her mom and her mom’s boss, who uses a wheelchair. The group chose the CroisiEurope Cruises sailing for the ease of sailing with a mobility device . But she discovered other upsides.

“It takes you exactly into the heart of the city,” said Meadows, who is based in Tennessee. Their roughly 160-guest vessel offered convenient drop-offs in smaller destinations, allowing them “to access so much more.”

Many European destinations were packed with tourists last summer . But river cruises in the continent can offer a more laid-back way to travel with small ships visiting a mix of popular and less-crowded ports.

Are river cruises better than ocean cruises?

Jen Campbell Boles, founder of the travel agency Explore More Family Travel, said that while cruising in general is a “great value for seeing Europe,” river sailings are particularly immersive. “One quote we always use in the travel industry is, ‘Ocean cruise liners take you to the destination, river cruises take us through the destination,’” she said.

Passengers visit not only major cities but also quaint villages and often disembark within walking distance of attractions. When they are done exploring, they return to a ship with an average of 150 guests.

“It's more intimate, it's cozier,” said Campbell Boles. “You're not fighting the crowds, obviously.”

That was part of the draw for Jim Jones, 57, who took Avalon Waterways river cruises with his wife in 2011 and 2014.

“The smaller cities were an attraction,” said Jones, who is based in Phoenix and works for a software company. He enjoyed visiting Avignon in the south of France, for example, which was once the seat of the papacy . “I’m a total history geek,” he said. On their first cruise, he recalled, “just about every town” they visited had a farmers’ market, allowing them to sample local food.

Unlike ocean cruise ships, with their large casinos and plentiful bars, onboard “it was very relaxed and a much slower pace.”

River cruise vessels tend to have “less bells and whistles,” Campbell Boles said (though she added that guests get a more personalized experience as a result of their small size).

Adam Duckworth, president and founder of Travelmation, echoed that. He said the cruises are less about the ship than where it’s going. “This is truly an experience about itineraries.”

Are European river cruises cheaper than land-based trips?

While travelers can find land-based accommodations that are less expensive than river cruises, there are other factors to consider.

River cruises tend to bundle more costs, such as alcohol in the fare, than a mainstream ocean cruise line, Duckworth said (though exact policies vary by line). At least one excursion per day is typically included, as well, Campbell Boles added.

She said demand for Europe is still “through the roof” and land-based pricing is particularly high. “Even if you're staying in the highest category stateroom or suite, you're spending less than an equivalent hotel,” she said.

Are luxury cruise ships worth the money? We did the math for Silversea's Silver Nova.

Would you spend $14,000 on a cruise? Here's why these travelers splurged.

Transportation from one destination to another is also built into a river cruise, whereas travelers might have to take a train or make other arrangements to visit a mix of places. “I mean that really adds up in Europe, so this is a great way to see a lot more variety,” Campbell Boles said.

Passengers can also add pre- and post-cruise stays, allowing them to “get the best of both worlds.”

“What we say is that a river cruise oftentimes can be a premium product,” added Duckworth. “But for what you're experiencing – the comfort, the (lower) stress, the luxurious experience on board – we find it to be actually the best value through Europe from our experience.”

Are European river cruises kid-friendly?

Since river cruises require a certain amount of free time – most are at least seven days long – they have tended to be popular with older guests, according to Duckworth.

But in the past couple of years, he has noticed more multigenerational travel in the sector. “We're seeing grandparents bring their grandkids, we're seeing young professionals go on a river in Europe for the first time,” Duckworth said.

Some operators have offerings that are particularly well-suited to younger guests. Adventures by Disney offers river cruises with AmaWaterways, and Uniworld Boutique River Cruises has a Generations Collection .

How long should I go on a cruise?: How long and short cruises compare

Even if programming is curated with kids in mind, though, Duckworth cautioned that river cruise vessels don’t offer the same breadth of amenities as large ocean ships. “If your kids want to go to a waterpark and they want to go on a FlowRider and they want to play putt-putt all day, there are great lines for you, but a European river cruise is probably not one of them currently,” he said.

Some lines also don’t allow kids or have varying age requirements, so it’s important to do some research beforehand.

For those going for the first time, Campbell Boles suggested starting with a cruise on the Danube or Rhine since they are “kind of the most iconic.”

“I mean, it’s Europe,” she added. “It’s going to be great no matter what river you go on.”
