Stack any filters, then pick a sortPrices are per person, double occupancy, in US dollars, and include cruise fare, taxes, fees and port expenses as published by the cruise line at the moment you load this page. Fares are capacity controlled and change daily; the fare is confirmed when you book. Flights, hotels and transfers are extra unless the line’s offer says otherwise. SmartCruiser instant savings and bonus onboard credit are provided by SmartCruiser on top of the cruise line’s price and are not available when booking direct; amounts vary by stateroom category and are shown for the lowest category offered. Special SmartCruiser rates are pricing SmartCruiser holds on that sailing for its clients, with extra onboard credit; you book your own stateroom and travel on your own. Senior fares apply to guests 55 and over; resident fares need proof of residency in a listed state or province at check-in; police and fire fares apply to active or retired police, fire and EMT personnel with ID. Qualifier-fare savings are measured against the best fare the cruise line offers the general public for the same stateroom category on the day the list was pulled, updated weekly.

Shore excursions you can book before you sail
Every SmartCruiser port guide lists the tours you can book for that day ashore: small-group sightseeing, beach days, snorkel trips and private guides from Shore Excursions Group, an independent tour company with its own return-to-ship guarantee and 14-day cancellation terms. Popular Europe ports to start with: Barcelona, Rome (Civitavecchia), Naples, Athens, Santorini and Dubrovnik. Shore Excursions Group sells and operates the tours; SmartCruiser earns a commission on bookings made through these links at no extra cost to you.
Which line for Europe?
Europe is where the line matters most: port-intensive weeks suit some ships far better than others. Our one-line take, with a link to each deals page.
When to go
Europe runs April to November for the Med and May to September for the north. Shoulder months are the sweet spot.
Europe cruise questions we answer every day
How many sea days will I get?
Very few. Most 7-night Med cruises visit six ports in seven days. If you want sea days, look at a 10 to 14 night itinerary or a transatlantic crossing at either end of the season.
Do I need a visa or a passport?
A passport valid six months beyond your return. US and Canadian citizens need no visa for the EU, UK or Norway; from 2026 the EU’s ETIAS travel authorisation applies and we will remind you when you book.
Should I fly in the day before?
Always. Flights to Europe arrive in the morning after an overnight, and a delay can cost you the ship. Two nights before in Barcelona, Rome or Athens turns the flight into part of the trip.
Big ship or small ship in Europe?
Big ships are cheaper per night and great for families, but they dock in industrial ports with long transfers. Mid-size and small ships get into Monte Carlo, Portofino, Kotor and the small Greek islands and often stay late. If the ports are the point, go smaller.
Are taxes and fees included in the prices here?
Yes. Every price on this page includes cruise fare, taxes, fees and port expenses. Flights, hotels, gratuities, drinks packages and excursions are extra.
What do the SmartCruiser picks mean?
They are sailings where booking through SmartCruiser gets you something you do not get booking direct: instant savings, bonus onboard credit, a Special SmartCruiser rate we hold on that sailing, or a senior, resident or police & fire fare that beats the best public price.
