European Holidays
The continent of Europe perhaps promises more variety and discovery than any other region on earth. Carved by over 2,000 years of troubled history, mighty civilisations and a series of seismic artistic and scientific achievements, it offers an ever-shifting canvas of landscapes, architecture, cultures, languages and cuisines.
From the sensuous colours and mosques of Istanbul to the cobbled hills of Lisbon and epic fjordlands of Norway, our European tours uncover all the delights of this incredible continent, unfurling them like a heavily embroidered tapestry for you to witness and enjoy.
The sheer breadth and depth of our Europe tours also means you can explore whichever way you like best: by river or ocean cruise, by sightseeing tour or on a slower-paced, single-centre break. With all these options and a huge diversity of itineraries to tempt you, our European escorted tours make this spellbinding continent well and truly your oyster.
Highlights of our Europe tours
Our escorted tours of Europe reveal the best of France, from romantic Paris to sunbaked Provence, together with the highlights of Spain and Portugal, from the sublime Alhambra Palace at Granada to the half-timbered port wine lodges of Oporto. Following close behind are the jaw-dropping Roman relics and enchanting Renaissance cities of Italy, the classical treasures of mainland Greece, and the whitewashed villages and medieval gems of Rhodes, Santorini and Crete and Cyprus.
Central and Eastern Europe also figure highly. Cruise the magical Rhine or Danube, soaking up the castle-studded hills of Germany and sumptuous capitals such as Vienna, Budapest and Prague. Glory in the snow-capped Alps, traversing Austria or Switzerland and riding classic Alpine trains through high-altitude mountain passes. Or choose our Eastern European tours to Russia, wending your way along the waterways linking St. Petersburg and Moscow.
Then there’s Northern Europe. Our cruises and tours take turns to showcase Norway’s breathtaking fjords, the dramatic North Cape illuminated by the faint midnight sun and a string of vibrant Baltic cities, including charming Tallinn, handsome Helsinki and lovely Stockholm.
And for tours in Europe with a difference, why not join us for Mediterranean cruises that visit Turkey, Malta, Croatia and Montenegro? Or sightseeing tours and river cruises that feature countries only just appearing on the tourist map, such as Serbia, Romania and Bosnia and Herzegovina?
Our European tours offer countless possibilities and endless options. To whet your appetite, explore all our different destinations and itineraries here.
