Are you posting to the right place?

 

The title of your post is "Northern Europe", but by Nov it is getting pretty cold there. I don't think there are many cruise then to Northern Europe.

 

As to the Med, even that is cool. We are on the Royal Princess departing Venice on 11/16/2007, and decided not to get a balcony since it is cool by then.

 

Perhaps if you give a little more on what they are looking for, we can help more.

As the other poster said that is not really great time to do a Northern Europe cruise,but if this is what they want to do you may be best off to check with a good cruise TA to see what ships sail there at the time and what may be best for them.If you have other ideas then post again to see others may come up with.

There will be no Northern Europe cruises in November - the Baltic is too cold and the North Sea too rough. One or two of the British companies such as P & O do Christmas market cruises but they are few and far between and mainly in December. You will find P & O, Costa, MSC, QE2 will still be in the Med & the Canary Isles so they may be worth looking at.

What about a Caribbean cruise? Cheaper, warmer, younger fellow-passengers.

Hi,

 

If November and Northern Europe is fixed - have you thought about a Hurtigruten-Tour? Not really a cruise - but modern ships, very comfortable. They are touring along the norwegian coastline - they transport post, goods and people. The complete tour ist a roundtrip of 11 days from Bergen to Kirkenes and back. You can travel every day - the ships have a fixed schedule. Sometimes ports are visited during the night - but on the way back you will visit this port in the daylight.

 

If you are lucky, you will see the polar-light.

 

We visited the Nordkapp - the northernmost public accessible point of the world and we got a membership of the icebear-club at Hammerfest.

 

During the winter months, there are just a few passengers (we were just 60 people on a ship, made for 500)

 

Very very intersting!

But: No big shows, no pool, no fancy band...

 

If you chose the oldest ship - the MS NORDSTJERNEN or the MS LOFOTEN, you cruise with a legend...very traditional and with only 155 possible guests...
