Sailing Europe with National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions is an invitation to discover both the iconic and unfamiliar—and to gain new perspectives on the threads that connect histories and cultures across the continent. Step aboard a small ship and sail deftly between grand medieval cities, rugged and remote islands and seaside villages steeped in tradition, exploring them your way. Kayak cerulean seas in the Mediterranean, cruise picturesque harbor towns by Zodiac or take a photo walk amid ancient Roman ruins. You’ll experience Europe’s shorelines in an authentic, time-honored way, seeing them through the eyes of the explorers who came before and the modern-day communities that carry on their customs.
“When you arrive at climactic points along the way, you'll get there by the grandest of front doors—the sea. This is how people through history came and went, and consequently, Europe’s ports are hubs of vibrance and in many cases, remarkable beauty.”

Embark on an Expertly Crafted Small Ship European Adventure
Explorers have long found inspiration on the shorelines of Europe, from the Vikings who launched their longships from Norwegian fjords to the navigators who set sail from Portugal’s golden sands. Today, coastal Europe still holds the promise of discovery for expedition travelers.
Puffins are the star of Staffa Island, but they’re not the only thing that makes this destination so special. Experience towering basalt columns formed over hundreds of thousands of years, and venture inside the famed Fingal’s Cave on an unforgettable Zodiac cruise. Naturalist Jim Wilson expounds on the geologic marvels and fascinating wildlife of this idyllic, uninhabited island off the coast of Scotland.
