Europe - Northern Cruises Travel Tips

  • We recommend exploring the top attractions that are near the ports you will be stopping in.
  • Bring your own alcohol if your cruise allows you to in order to save on the cost of drinks. You are often allowed to bring your own wine but check with your cruise.
  • Northern Europe has long summer days where it feels like the sun will never set along with long winter days in which it feels like the sun never rises. Be prepared for this when you visit and pack the appropriate clothing. 
  • You might be surprised at home cramped the quarters are. Considering upgrading to a larger room if this is an issue for you.
  • Many cruises will offer specialty restaurants which are an upcharge compared to the regular food that is included in the cruise.

  • Learning a few basic phrases in the local languages can go a long way. Common phrases include "hello," "thank you," and "please."
  • Euros are widely accepted, though some countries like Denmark and Sweden have their own currencies. It's advisable to have a small amount of local currency for small purchases.
  • Northern European countries use different plug types; a universal adapter will ensure your devices stay charged when you leave the boat.

  • The Perfect Time for a Northern Europe Cruise

    Cruising Northern Europe offers an array of experiences, heavily influenced by the region's varied weather conditions throughout the year. Each season brings a distinct flavor to cruising in this part of the world, providing cruisers with different perspectives and opportunities to explore.  

    During the summer months, from June to August, cruising in Northern Europe is at its most popular. The weather is warm and pleasant, ideal for cruisers who want to spend ample time exploring the ports and enjoying the long days filled with sunshine. However, cruising in this peak tourist season also means encountering bustling energy, crowded ports, and potentially higher prices. It's a lively time for cruising, with numerous activities and events across the region.  

    As the autumn season rolls in from September to November, the cruising experience in Northern Europe transforms. The crowds begin to thin out, and the changing foliage paints the landscape in warm hues, creating a stunning backdrop for cruisers. The temperatures are still mild, making it comfortable for those onboard to explore the ports and enjoy the scenic views.  

    Winter, spanning from December to February, offers a unique cruising experience in Northern Europe, particularly in Norway and other Arctic regions, where the Northern Lights are a major draw. However, cruisers should be prepared for colder temperatures, which may limit time spent on outdoor activities.  

    Springtime, from March to May, heralds a gentle warming trend and the blooming of flowers, setting a serene stage for cruising before the bustling summer months. This quieter season is ideal for cruisers looking to avoid larger crowds while still enjoying mild weather and the beauty of spring.  

    For cruisers seeking a balance between favorable weather and manageable tourist numbers, late spring to early summer (May to June) or early autumn (September) may offer the best cruising conditions in Northern Europe. These periods provide a chance to experience the region's beauty and cultural offerings at a more leisurely and comfortable pace.
