Royal Caribbean – European Cruise tours

 

Experience the "Old World" from the inside out.

 

Coastal regions are beautiful, but to see some of the most interesting cities and sights you need to explore further inland. That's why Royal Caribbean created Cruise tours that offer the best of land and sea vacations by combining your European cruise with an exciting land tour adventure. Cruise tours allow you to experience all that your vacation destination has to offer. As anyone who's traveled before knows, coastal areas are beautiful, but some of the most interesting cities and sights are often inland. Take in the scenery, local flavor, cultures and historic landmarks all while traveling by deluxe motorcoach or train and staying in some of the finest and best-located hotel properties. Royal Caribbean offers Cruise tours to the destinations of Alaska, the Canadian Rockies, Whistler and Europe.

 

The land tour portion of your Cruise tours can be either before or after your cruise. All of Royal Caribbean’s Europe Cruise tours are 100% escorted by expert Tour Guides and have been designed to maximize your time spent sightseeing on many of the inclusive tours.

 

Your biggest decision will be where to take your adventure. Royal Caribbean's European Cruise tours depart out of Harwich (London), England, and from Barcelona, Spain.

In addition to your cruise vacation, the land portion of the Cruise tour includes accommodations in some of the finest hotels, as well as many inclusive activities.

 

A Europe Cruise tour lets you see the sunset over the skyline of Paris, sip an authentic ale in a London pub, touch the walls of a thousand-year-old castle or enjoy the aroma of a steaming bowl of paella in a Barcelona café. No trip to the Old World would be complete without exploring Europe's magnificent interior, and there's no better way to do that than with a Royal Caribbean Europe Cruise tour.
