Northern Europe has always been a real people-pleaser as a cruise destination, offering a wide variety of attractions that appeal to every traveler's appetite.
The rich legacy of history, architecture and art in Northern Europe has made it a perennial favorite for Seabourn guests. The region also offers fabulous shopping and seasonal culinary appeal, and now – with the addition of expert Ventures by Seabourn™ expedition teams, Zodiacs and kayaks on Seabourn Quest – we have added optional active, immersive adventures to your options for experiencing it all on select sailings.
Robin West, Seabourn’s Vice President of Expedition Operations, has worked with Senior Director of Itinerary Planning, Timothy Littley, to design an innovative series of specially curated itineraries taking full advantage of the many scenic natural splendors and cultural treasures of Northern Europe.
During the northern summer, Norway, the scattered British Isles, Iceland and Greenland provide a range of cruising destinations as unique and spectacular as anywhere on Earth. Their iceberg dotted fjords and sheer island cliffs teem with vast colonies of breeding birds and other wildlife, and picturesque traditional villages and ancient Viking sites add intriguing human interest and fascinating history. Seabourn Quest has cruised there in the past and carried an extensive team of knowledgeable naturalists, archaeologists, photography coaches, and other experts who will share fascinating insights with guests onboard and have escorted optional Zodiac tours, kayaking excursions and hikes to breathtaking waterfalls, glaciers, icebergs and snowcapped peaks to enhance and extended guest’s experiences.
