The Northern Europe & Baltic region spans the dramatic fjords of Norway, the historic British Isles, and the cultural jewels of the Baltic Sea, including Scandinavia’s design-forward capitals. Defined by the “Midnight Sun” phenomenon in summer, itineraries offer a stark, refreshing contrast to the arid Middle East, featuring lush green landscapes, Viking heritage, and cooler climates ideal for escaping the Gulf summer heat.

Travellers are drawn to the seamless blend of nature—like cascading waterfalls in Flam—and urban sophistication in cities like Copenhagen and Stockholm. 2026 sees a robust recovery in the Baltic, with Stockholm expecting 157 calls, including new luxury vessels, though St. Petersburg remains off itineraries due to geopolitics.
