For clients seeking a longer European journey, the 22-day British Isles & Viking Shores (2027) connects London and Amsterdam. This voyage explores Scotland’s Highlands, Ireland’s cliff landscapes, Liverpool’s waterfront and London’s royal heritage. Crossing the North Sea into Viking territory, the route stops at Stavanger, Kristiansand and Oslo, with an overnight in Bergen to appreciate Norway’s fjords and maritime culture.

The most extensive new offering, the 36-day Grand Mediterranean Explorer (2027), travels between Lisbon and Istanbul. This voyage visits Iberian ports, follows along the coastline of the French Riviera and circumnavigates Italy. Travelers explore the legacy of the Venetian Republic and the influence of the Hellenic Empire. It includes six overnight stays in key cities.

For clients interested in natural phenomena, the 20-day From Iberia to the Northern Lights (2027) combines Barcelona with Tromso, offering Spain’s mild winter climate and the opportunity to witness the aurora borealis. The journey includes exploration of Moorish culture at the Alhambra Palace, Roman history in Cartagena and Norway’s snow-covered peaks and fjords.

Additional new itineraries include the 21-day Mediterranean & Atlantic Crossing between Rome and San Juan, the 22-day Adriatic & Mediterranean Discovery between Venice and Lisbon, and the 29-day Iceland, Norway & British Isles between Reykjavik and London.
