Head North

Most Britons in search of a close-to-home cruise head for the sun and sights of the Mediterranean. But there is a region just as easily accessible, equally rich in history and culture, and similarly blessed with sunny weather during the summer months.

Head north instead of south from the UK and you'll find magnificent cities, tranquil fjords, unforgettable scenery and even some lovely beaches.

And you'll have the added satisfaction of knowing you're taking a path less travelled , seeing sights and experiencing cultures still relatively undiscovered.
