Dip Into New Experiences
Unique cities, lush landscapes, and natural wonders await. Reykjavik's color is matched only by its neighboring wonders like the Blue Lagoon and Qaqortoq, Greenland's hot springs. Norway's Flåm fjord is a true fairytale setting surrounded by emerald-green valleys. Copenhagen offers charm along every canal, while Amsterdam is brimming with art & culture. And head to Edinburgh and Dublin for castles, history, and laughs.

Featured Itineraries
NCL’s Northern Europe cruises are designed to suit a wide range of travel styles and interests, with itinerary selection—both the length and region—playing a key role in shaping your experience. For an immersive Scandinavian journey, our 7-day Northern European cruises allow you to hop between iconic capitals like Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Helsinki and Berlin. Longer options within the Baltic region extend to ports in Poland and Estonia, adding further depth to your vacation. Most Nordic and Icelandic cruises are longer by design, typically spanning 10-12 days. This allows time to fully experience the vast landscapes, dramatic scenery, and eco-wonders of the Norwegian fjords and Iceland’s volcanic terrain, while also visiting charming cities like Oslo and Reykjavík, and additional ports along the northern coast. If the historic castles and lush landscapes of the United Kingdom's region are a top priority, we offer a dedicated 11-day sailing through Ireland, Scotland, and the British Isles. Or, you can select an NCL Cruisetour — a cruise combined with additional days of land exploration before or after your sailing.
