European Cruises

How you experience the sights on a European cruise is very different if it's your first visit to Europe. First timers often want to see the highlights of each port and get an overview of the city. For example, in Rome you'll want to take a city tour that takes you to the Colosseum, St. Peter's Basilica, the Vatican, and Trevi Fountain. Likewise, a guided city tour is a wise choice your first time in Venice.

Most European cruises can make your tour arrangements, or you can book them independently. Often booking your own tours will save you a considerable amount of money, but letting the concierge on your ship handle it is more convenient. An added bonus to booking through the ship is if your tour is late in returning to the ship, the ship will wait for you.

Sightseeing for the Second Time on European Cruises

If you've been to a port before, or taken other European cruises, you probably don't need to do the highlights version of sightseeing. This is your opportunity to explore beyond the touristy areas and seek out even more authentic experiences. For example, in Barcelona, Montserrat Monastery is a fantastic spot just 45 minutes away.

The European cruises at Direct Line Cruises are perfect for first timers and veterans like. If you don't like one of the ports of call you visit, fear not. You'll only be there for one day anyway. If you need help choosing an itinerary for you, a representative at Direct Line Cruises can provide guidance and assistance.
