A cruise is a great way to see the world little by little without having to lift a finger. With everything on board that you could ever need, and regular stop-offs to explore alone or with guides, you'll be wondering why you haven't sailed the seas before. Pick a luxurious cruise ship and set sail to any one of the following popular destinations for a holiday that takes all the hard work out of sightseeing.
Dutch Bulbfields mini cruise A chance to visit Antwerp and Amsterdam and the breathtaking colours and splendour of the Keukenhof Gardens, the world's largest flower garden. The arrangement of red, yellow, blue, purple and pink flowers laid out in gentle curves around perfectly manicured lawns and in seemingly endless stripes to the horizon is quite simply stunning.
Nordic Cities cruise A chance to see the best that the major cities of Norway, Sweden and Denmark have to offer, though these cruises often throw in a German or Dutch city to add an extra dimension to your break. Take in the different cultures, cuisines and architecture of each Nordic country at your leisure during a relaxing 9-day cruise.
Northern Lights cruise The Northern Lights are quite simply bewitching, and from your position on the water you will get the full unspoiled magic and splendour of this natural phenomenon. During the day, when you are unable to enjoy this spectacular sight, take the opportunity to explore some of the Nordic towns and cities and all they have to offer.
Christmas Markets cruise The sights and smells of traditional European Christmas food and drink on this short cruise will have you in the festive spirit before you know it. Browse the famous Christmas Markets of Bruges and Amsterdam, and take home handcrafted jewellery and traditional wooden ornaments as perfect Christmas presents for friends and family.
Baltic treasures cruise You will need at least 12 nights to fully appreciate all that the Baltic cities have to offer. From the medieval streets of Tallinn to the incredibly intricate and decadent architecture of St Petersburg, the stop-offs on this cruise will take your breath away. A cruise is the perfect way to discover the Baltic treasures during the summer months, with peace and quiet and a nice cool sea breeze between ports.
Top tip: Pick a cruise ship that employs a no children' policy for that extra level of relaxation and tranquillity.
Escorted Cruise Tours can provide plenty of variety as well as plenty of stunning sights along the way such as Marco Polo Cruises on the luxury Cruise liner.
