Frequently Asked Questions About

Northern Europe Cruises

We're here to help as always...

What’s the best time to cruise Northern Europe?

The most popular season is May to September, offering long daylight hours, milder weather, and vibrant festivals. For a chance to see the Northern Lights, consider late September to early April sailings around Iceland and Norway.

Will I see the Northern Lights on my cruise?

Yes - particularly if your itinerary includes Reykjavik, Tromsø, or northern Norway during the autumn or winter months. Choose a cruise with overnight stays or late departures to increase your chances of witnessing this breathtaking natural spectacle.

Do I need a visa for multiple countries on the cruise?

Most UK travellers do not need visas for countries like Norway, Denmark, Iceland, Sweden, or Finland. However, we’ll confirm all requirements based on your exact itinerary and passport at the time of booking.

What should I pack for a Northern Europe cruise?

Layers are key. Pack for both cooler weather and occasional sun, plus comfortable walking shoes for exploring cobbled streets, fjords, and forests. Don't forget a light waterproof jacket and swimwear for spa days or thermal pools in Iceland.

What’s the dress code on board?

Luxury cruise lines typically blend elegant casual by day with smart evening wear at night. Some sailings may include a formal night, so bring one standout outfit if you’d like to join the celebration.

Are shore excursions included?

Most cruise lines offer a wide range of optional excursions - from Viking history tours and fjord kayaking to private city guides. Some ultra-luxury lines include curated excursions as part of the package. Ask us for the best-fit options.

Can I customise my Northern Europe cruise?

Absolutely. With Luxury Sassy Cruises, you can tailor your experience - whether it’s private transfers, bespoke tours, pre-cruise hotel stays, or VIP enhancements. Your dedicated Cruise Concierge will handle every detail.

Will I have Wi-Fi and mobile signal during the cruise?

Yes - most ships offer Wi-Fi packages (often complimentary with luxury lines). Signal strength can vary when sailing between remote destinations, but you’ll have connection in port and near major cities.

Why book with Luxury Sassy Cruises?

Because you deserve more than just a cruise - you deserve the insider access, VIP perks, and personalised planning that turn a great holiday into a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Our team curates every detail around you.
