Download the brochureThe Atlantic ports of Western Europe have long served to connect the continent with the wider world, serving as bases for local and global trade, discovery, and conquest, and producing great wealth in the process. On this voyage, you will discover some of the finest artistic and cultural fruits of that wealth as you sail the length of the coast from the North Sea to Iberia.
Beginning in Amsterdam, you will sail southward to discover a remarkable array of sites that serve as testaments to the legacy of European civilization, spanning centuries from the American Cemetery and Memorial overlooking the beaches of Normandy to the medieval castles and cathedrals of Portugal and Spain. Among the places you will visit are three UNESCO World Heritage Sites—the storied abbey/fortress of Mont-St.-Michel; the great Christian pilgrimage site of Santiago de Compostela; and Coimbra University in Portugal, one of the oldest in Europe. To these justly famous monuments, you will also see extraordinary collections of art in Amsterdam and Bruges, the picturesque fishing towns of Honfleur and Concarneau, and Frank Gehry's Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao.
