From the Mediterranean to the Baltic Sea, Europe's waterways offer a myriad of cruise options that cater to all interests. Simply board your ship and relax as you sail from port to port, visiting amazing destinations like Barcelona, Rome, Athens, and Istanbul. Cruise tours in Europe are massively popular thanks to their all-inclusive nature. With planned shore excursions at each destination, you can make the most of your time on land.

One of the many options if you’re on a river cruise in Southern Germany might be a wine-tasting tour. If you’re docking in Dubrovnik, you might be able to choose from a cultural city tour, a food tour, or even head off on a day trip to a nearby island.

This was a wonderful trip, your tour concierge, Anna, was terrific - very knowledgeable about the destinations and local tours, attentive to the group and each individual. On the whole, the locations and hotels were well-selected. I was disappointed that we didn't go to Sorrento and the Amalfi coast, however Capri was lovely. The hotel in Florence, while conveniently located and with lovely public areas, had poor guestroom accommodations for the level of this tour. We were disappointed that we could not experience Cinque Terra,, however, the Excelsior in Rapallo was exceptional and Anna did more to made up for the change in plans. A second night in the Excelsior and one less in Florence would be nice. In all a memorable trip!

Zagreb to Dubrovnik is a fabulous way to see this stunning country. Plus our guide Petra made everything easy. The hotels were all excellent, the bus drivers skills were excellent. We would recommend Insight to anybody considering a tour.

An excellent way to explore this area of Greece. Evia feels a little bit forgotten and an unspoilt part of Greece. The boat was a delight, plenty of space to socialise. The food prepared by George was a constant delight. The cabins are compact and bijou… but perfectly clean. The walking was mixed not too strenuous.. although the winds made it a bit tricky. We had to change out itinerary due to the high winds. Thanos was informative, enthusiastic, knowledgeable , made sure that everyone’s needs were met, and a credit to Explore! One of a kind! The Group was just lovely, great individuals and a real camaraderie….

Greek Cruise and Island Walking

Great job by the tour director, drivers and local guides. The director, was fantastic and really juggled the excursions around multiple unforseen circumstances where we did not feel an impact. The Paris food tour was a highlight.

I’ve been with Explore many times, and this trip was right up there, Fotis the tour leader was so enthusiastic and we all became good friends, one of the best.

Explore are really excellent. Our flight with EasyJet was cancelled as we were about to leave for Bristol airport at 4.00am on Sunday. EasyJet offered us an alternative flight two days later which would mean missing our walking group completely as we were island hopping. We rang the Explore Duty Manager who managed to sort out a new flight from London. His quick actions saved our holiday.

Cruise Tours in Europe

Highlights of cruise tours in Europe

  • Discover the history and culture of Venice as part of your cruise tour in Europe.
  • Enjoy a food tour in Naples, Italy. You know that a food tour in the city that gave us pizza is going to be good. From fried street food to sweet treats to the perfect pizza, you are going to be spoiled for choice.
  • Chase the Northern Lights in Iceland. Plenty of European cruises sail up to the “Land of Fire and Ice” after traveling around Scotland or Norway, so keep your eyes peeled for the natural phenomenon known as the aurora borealis
  • Get inspired by Gaudi’s masterpieces during a tour of Barcelona. From the Sagrada Familia to Park Guell to the eponymous Gaudi House, it’s impossible to have a shore excursion in Barcelona and not be inspired by this master artist.
  • Learn to sea kayak and enjoy various watersports on a day trip to the Greek Islands.
  • Sit back and relax on a sandy beach in Spain. Cruise excursions don’t always have to be active, after all. Rest and recuperate on the gorgeous sands before heading to your next destination.

Travel tips for Europe cruise tours

  • Try to book a cruise during the shoulder season. Cruise tours in Europe often run from April to October, so if you book at the start or end of the season, you might be able to bag a bargain.
  • Check if you need to pay for a shuttle between the ship’s dock and the city you’re visiting. Many cruise tour operators will put on a shuttle into the city for a fee, but in some locations, you can get into town much cheaper on public transport.
  • Follow the flag! Most shore excursion guides will have a flag or sign for your ship and your group. In popular cruise cities like Rome, Nice, or Split, there can be dozens of cruise tours around the main sights.
  • Bring local booze back onto the ship. If you don’t have a drinks package included in your cruise tour, bring local booze like limoncello, ouzo, or local wine back from your shore excursion.
  • Don’t bring all your valuables with you on shore excursions. Big cruise tour groups are like catnip to pickpockets and thieves, so be alert, and leave your valuables in your cabin.
