Cruising ... there's no better way to survey Alaskan and European coastlines. But there are some
places a 220,000-ton ship simply can't reach, so Royal Caribbean created cruisetours – exciting
ocean journeys paired with escorted land tours that allow guests to wander off the beaten
path – to ensure that travelers enjoy an adventure without limits. And they're flexible, too.
You decide whether you'll explore Alaska's rolling tundra and Europe's hidden treasures before
or after you sail.
Royal Caribbean's European cruise itineraries transport guests to many of the continent's
most celebrated destinations. But no trip to Europe is complete without an
exploration of its magnificent interior. Royal Caribbean's cruisetours allow you to
experience "the Old World" from the inside out – passengers can pair a fully escorted,
pre- or post-cruise land stay with virtually any Mediterranean, Northern, or
Western European voyage.
Royal Caribbean options include cruisetours departing for Spain's two most famous
cities (7-night, 8-night, or 12-night sailings paired with four days spent exploring
the lively plazas and architectural masterpieces of Madrid and Barcelona), a visit to
the canals and cathedrals of Venice, Florence, and Rome (before or after you've enjoyed
a 7-night or 12-night voyage featuring stops in Greece and Turkey), or an extended stay
in both Paris and London (matched with a 10-night, 11-night, or 14-night Mediterranean
cruise).

FLORENCE
Widely regarded as the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance, Florence's museums and academies
are home to some of the world's most priceless works of art including Michelangelo's David.
ROME
Italy's capital (and largest metropolis) may boast more historic attractions than any other
destination in Europe. Highlights include the Colosseum, the Sistine Chapel, and Vatican City.
VENICE
Considered by many to be the most beautiful city on Earth, Venice literally "floats" – it's
a cluster of over 100 islands formed by 150 famous canals and connected by roughly 400 bridges.
For many, a cruisetour is the vacation of a lifetime. And the vacation of a lifetime requires special planning.
Cruisetours are also an incredible value, particularly when you consider the time and expense involved in
arranging all of the elements separately.
Our experts are here to help you design a cruisetour that includes everything
you'll want to see both ashore and at sea. A land component can be added to many of the Royal Caribbean Europe
sailings we sell, but cruisetours may only be booked by phone. For a complete list of available options, including
pricing, please contact our cruisetour experts 24/7 by calling 800-466-9150.
