European City Break Cruises
Expertly planned to take advantage of our smaller ships’ ability to sail size-restricted rivers and waterways to destinations that bigger ships simply can’t access, Fred. Olsen’s European City Breaks cruises take you closer to the centre of some of the regions' most beautiful, historic and attraction-packed cities, offering iconic sights and unforgettable experiences from the moment you step ashore.
What’s more, with several overnight calls on offer, you can really get under the skin of an extensive list of destinations and experience the very best of each. And, on many of our European City Break cruises, there are opportunities to explore multiple cities on one exciting holiday.
You could head to the Netherlands and Amsterdam for a chance to explore the city's iconic canals and districts, visit the famous museums or sample the local cuisine. Some of our calls at the Dutch capital are planned to coincide with unique events too, like when the beautiful Keukenhof tulip gardens burst into spring bloom. Or choose to embark on a journey along France’s beautiful River Seine to visit historic Rouen and charming Honfleur; or join a cruise that includes an overnight stay in the Belgian city of Antwerp, famed for its chocolates and diamonds.
During the summer of 2026, join us as we cruise to the Baltic, offering opportunities to wander along the charming, brightly coloured 17th-century townhouses of Copenhagen’s Nyhavn district or capture the magic of Tallinn’s Old Town, with its enchanting fairytale spires. There will also be chances to explore the renowned wine-making Bordeaux region, reached via the Gironde and Garonne rivers. Meanwhile, in the autumn-winter of 2026, embark on a journey to iconic cities in France, Spain and Morocco, immersing yourself in local cultures, sights and sounds, or explore Andalusia and Portugal.
If you’re tempted by the thought of enjoying some relaxing and rewarding time away from it all, a Fred. Olsen European City Break cruise may be just the tonic you need.
