Western Europe Cruise Highlights
For North American travelers, Western Europe offers a nice balance of the familiar and the unusual. Visit cities with lots of English speakers but cathedrals and monuments that pre-date America's founding; explore outdoor markets far different from your local grocery store and then enjoy a pint of your favorite beer in a local pub. Western Europe is home to several "bucket-list" cities, from London to Paris to Amsterdam, and in each place you'll find plenty of local treasures to explore, whether you visit the Louvre in France, the tulip fields in the Netherlands, or Buckingham Palace in London.
