Description |
See some of the best of Europe's grand old capitals as you make your way from funky Berlin to picturesque Munich and classic Vienna. Explore Berlin's Reichstag and the Brandenburg Gate, see highlights of Munich and discover the history of Neuschwanstein Castle, discover Schönbrunn Palace & enjoy Vienna City Tour. |
The Arctic’s scenic extremes have long beguiled visitors. In the far north of Svalbard, in the Norwegian Arctic, you’ll see glacier fronts, icebergs and mountainscapes. Thousands of guillemots turn towering cliffs into a riot of movement. In other parts, it’s the encompassing stillness that can stagger you — lonely bays dotted with icebergs, or an unbroken bed of sea ice engulfing the horizon line. Our Polar cruising team have experienced Svalbard on their own voyages, and they’re well-placed to help you choose the ideal itinerary and vessel for your Arctic expedition cruise. |
