SUN, SPICE AND SEA BREEZES
It's no coincidence that many of the best European cruises call in the most beautiful ports in the world. Eat your way through the cobbled streets of Italy, contrast the timeless beauty of Greece's ruins with the modern chic that's come to define its islands or hike through forlorn caverns and up lush waterfalls in captivating Croatia.
DISCOVER LA DOLCE VITA
From the storied streets of Rome to the charming canals of Venice, Italy is a country that needs no introduction. Whether you pose with Michelangelo's David in Florence or indulge in to-die-for Pizza in Naples, it's no wonder why so many cruises to Europe visit la bella Italia.
FROM THE ACROPOLIS TO THE AEGEAN
Greece is remarkable, from the ancient Acropolis of Athens to the blue-roofed houses of Santorini. Whether you trek through the limestone hills in the north or swim through the cobalt waters around the Cyclades, it's easy to see why this is one of the best places to visit in Europe.
"GAMES OF THRONES" Lives On
The hit TV show might be finished, but "Game of Thrones" fans will recognize dozens of locations in the walled city of Dubrovnik , the jewel of Croatia's Adriatic coast. Farther afield, explore the countless waterfalls of Plitvice Lakes National Park or pair European cruises with tastings at underrated wineries.
SCENES THAT INSPIRED 1,000 PAINTINGS
Endless possibilities are what the coasts of France, Spain and Portugal have always been about. Generations of painting greats from Van Gogh to Picasso have found inspiration from the crystalline coasts of the French Riviera, to the craggy mountaintops of the Canary Islands. Of course, the best European cruises also dock in timeless cities like Barcelona, Cherbourg, Lisbon and beyond.
CITY OF LOVE, CÔTE D'AZUR
The only thing better than strolling into Paris as the Eiffel Tower lights up at night? Sitting down for a meal of fresh-caught seafood as the sun sets into the harbor of aptly-named Nice. France has got something for every traveler, which is why so many cruises to Europe dock here.
SAY "SALUD" TO SPAIN
Sitting down for Spanish tapas is one of the most satisfying food experiences in the world, especially when you wash it down with fruity sangria. Plus, the Jurassic topography of the Canary Islands and the storied streets of Barcelona are just a few of the best places to visit in Europe you'll find here.
KING OF DISCOVERY
Portugal is where many of the first expeditions to the New World start, but most people on European cruises bound for Lisbon wonder why anyone would leave. Explore the mysterious Quinta de Regaleira castle in Sintra, pour port wine in Porto or practice your surfing skills in the Algarve.

Join the best European cruises through the British Isles and along the coast of the Netherlands, where enchanted country charm and royal, old-world cities offer endless possibilities for memories that will last a lifetime.
THE JOY OF GOING DUTCH
The Dutch have managed to keep the sea at bay for hundreds of years, but many of the best European cruises still make their way into Amsterdam . If you tire of the tranquility you find amid tulip fields and beneath towering windmills, make your way to the hipster capital of Rotterdam.
ETERNAL LANDSCAPES ON THE EMERALd ISLE
Life is but a dream in Ireland , whether you down a pint of Guinness and trace tales told by James Joyce in Dublin, or careen along the Cliffs of Moher along the west coast. Many cruises to Europe also stop in Northern Ireland's Belfast, a city that's a testament to rebirth and reconciliation.
STEP INTO A SCOTTISH FAIRYTALE
When you visit Scotland, it can be difficult to discern legend from real life. Strolling down Edinburgh's Royal Mile to Edinburgh Castle might feel like a dream, while the fabled and mythical Loch Ness may surprise you with its charm and stunning scenery.

WINTER SKIES, SUMMER SUN
Scandinavia is dark for much of the year, but light is what defines its polar nations, from the Midnight Sun that rises high above Demark in mid-summer, to the skies above Norway and Iceland amid winter's deepest freeze.

SCANDINAVIA'S UNSUNG SISTER
Many of the best European cruises dock in Denmark, and it's no wonder why. From colorful Nyhavn harbor in Copenhagen to storied castles like Amalienborg and Frederiksborg, Denmark more than makes up for the fact that its more famous neighbors often eclipse it.
LAND OF FIRE AND ICE
It's easy to be intrigued by Iceland , whether you walk through Reykjavik's riveting Hallgrimskirkja church, or visit “the Wash Road”, the hippest shopping district in the city. There are few better ways to cap off cruises to Europe than a dip in the aptly-named Blue Lagoon.
PRICELESS PANORAMAS, FABULOUS FJORDs
Norway is a country in beautiful balance. Had enough of the orderliness of Oslo? Head west to beautiful Bergen, where finger-shaped fjords jut into and out of thousands of miles of coastline. Or contrast a fresh fish dinner at sea level with the view from towering Trolltunga cliff.
Europe is beautiful in every season, but the peak of comfortable weather (especially in the north) is between May and September.
You should always be prepared for rain and colder weather when you travel to Europe, especially in the North. Dress in light layers for your vacation.
Europeans speak more English the farther north you go. Your phone's translation app (or, at minimum, learning how to say "Hello" and "Thank You" in local languages) will aid you along the Mediterranean.
RELATED PORTS
Learn more about Baltic ports like Klaipeda, Lithuania and Tallinn, Estonia, or read up on Bergen, the gateway to Norway's stunning fjords.

Greece to Restrict Cruise Visits as Islands Struggle With Tourist Crowds
In a country where vacationers are a keystone of the economy, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis is embracing a European trend toward tighter tourism regulation.
By Niki Kitsantonis
With the treasures of its history, the beauty of its islands and the golden sands of its beaches, Greece offers tourists many reasons to visit. But a seemingly endless influx in recent years has caused headaches at some of its most popular destinations.
So this weekend, its prime minister proposed an array of measures aimed at curbing some effects of the growing crowds.
The changes include hefty increases to docking fees for cruise ships at some of Greece’s most popular islands, and limits to daily cruise ship arrivals. The rules aim to reduce the strain that the vacation industry places on communities and echo a pushback against overtourism in several other major European destinations.
“Tourism supports the economy with significant resources and jobs, but it has its own particular social impact,” Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said during his annual state of the economy speech in Thessaloniki on Saturday night. He added that he was “very concerned about the image on some of our islands some months of the year due to cruise ships.”
More details will be announced next week, he said.
Discontent over tourism has flared across Europe since pandemic-related travel restrictions receded. In April, Venice introduced an entry fee of 5 euros , about $5.50, on certain days. In July, protesters in Barcelona marched in exasperation with tourist numbers .
And after those cities diverted cruises from busy ports, officials in Amsterdam decided to cut cruise traffic in half by 2026, before eventually closing its terminal , citing worries about overcrowding and pollution.
The issue carries particularly high stakes in Greece, where tourism accounts for about a fifth of economic output. A record 33 million people visited last year, according to the Bank of Greece , which said numbers were up a further 15.5 percent in the first half of 2024.
Vacation rentals and foreign buyers have also driven home prices to a level that many locals say they struggle to afford on many islands , while a wave of villa construction has contributed to water shortages.
“We’ve had yet another extremely successful tourism year,” Mr. Mitsotakis said, noting that the sector was going “from record to record.”
To address overcrowding, disembarkation fees for cruises would be increased, he said, with larger rises for particularly popular islands like Mykonos and Santorini, where the authorities and residents have been pushing for constraints.
Fees will rise to 20 euros for those islands during the high season, he told a news conference on Sunday, a steep hike from the current charge of 35 cents for Santorini. Some of the additional revenue will go toward local infrastructure, he said.
The government will also increase a lodging tax paid by hotels and rental accommodations on the islands, with those proceeds going toward local communities to help them during the peak season, Mr. Mitsotakis said.
And property owners who offer long-term leases, rather than the short-term rentals generally given to international visitors, will be exempt from paying rental tax for three years, he said.
Mr. Mitsotakis also heralded restrictions, to be announced in coming weeks, on runaway construction on the most overdeveloped islands, apparently targeting vacation homes. “Let’s take action and put the brakes, wherever needed, on islands where we believe that the situation has reached a point that the infrastructure is essentially being tested,” he told reporters.
The cruise industry is booming in Greece, with a projected increase of 20 percent in ship arrivals this year, totaling more than eight million passengers, according to Giorgos Koubenas, the president of Greece’s union of cruise-ship owners, who said revenues this year were projected at €2 billion.
Santorini, with its volcanic beaches and dramatic caldera, is Greece’s most popular cruise destination, with 1.3 million cruise visitors last year, according to the Hellenic Ports Association. An official there provoked an angry backlash on a particularly busy July day when he urged residents — population 15,500 — to stay home to make way for an expected 17,000 visitors.
The mayor, Nikos Zorzos, said that the authorities did what they could to keep daily visitors under 8,000, but that itineraries were set two years in advance, causing some “very difficult days.”
“It’s important that each island has the ability to regulate the situation locally,” he said, “that local authorities have control in such significant issues that directly influence the daily lives of residents.”
Some residents of smaller islands, however, say they fear that restrictions will push the problems of cruise traffic onto them.
“I’m very worried,” said Thodoris Halaris, a 64-year-old resident of Amorgos, an island of about 2,000 that received its first large cruise ship last month. Cruises risk crowding out the regular visitors he rents to, he said, and don’t suit the island’s relatively small beaches.
“It’s like the theater of the absurd,” he said. “Fifty people swimming on a beach and a 250-meter cruise ship docked in front of them.”
Konstantinos Revinthis, the mayor of Serifos, said he was persuaded to oppose cruise visits after a medium-size liner brought some 2,000 passengers to his island of roughly 1,000.
“We don’t have the infrastructure to host so many people,” he said.

Travelzoo is an online travel agency that sells all types of travel packages. It competes with sites such as Travel Pirates, Groupon , and even Costco Travel .
Travelzoo operates a little differently than competitors in that some rates are specifically negotiated for the website, while others are just good deals the site has found. Either way, Travelzoo is aiming to get you discounted travel all over the world.
It’s easy to write off purchasing travel packages, especially if you’re into points and miles. However, there can be cases when the discounts Travelzoo offers make more sense than stockpiling points. That’s especially true for high-end or hard-to-reach places that don’t have many options for points.
Be aware that the travel packages you’ll find on Travelzoo are time-sensitive. Once they’re sold out, you usually won’t find them again.
Also, the flexibility of your purchase can vary greatly. You may find a package that’s fully refundable until it expires. Others may have a shorter window. Still more may feature limited dates or have surcharges during peak season.
You’ll want to be aware of flexibility details when purchasing your Travelzoo voucher, especially when you have strict travel dates.
Travelzoo’s packages vary. You’ll find hotel-only options that feature discounted hotel rooms :
You can also find flights on sale :
There are cruise deals :
You can even find tickets to attractions, sporting events, and more :
Probably the most iconic of Travelzoo’s offerings is the ability to book an all-inclusive travel package for your vacation that’ll cover airfare, accommodation, food, and gratuities:
Long story short: You can find nearly everything on Travelzoo, and if your desired destination isn’t available when you first look, keep an eye (and alert) out as new packages arrive all the time.
This is probably our favorite question to answer, especially for folks who aren’t used to paying money for travel. Whether or not Travelzoo is a good deal will depend entirely upon your preferences and destination. Many of these packages include economy class airfare, which you may not want to experience. And if you’re used to using points, you may balk at spending hard-earned cash on a hotel.
Let’s take a look at a package that Travelzoo is offering to the Maldives, a fan-favorite destination for award travelers.
Travelzoo’s Package
For the second time, Travelzoo has offered the option to purchase a 5-night package to the Park Hyatt Maldives Hadahaa . Costs will vary depending on which package you book, but you can find a stay here for as little as $3,999 for a beach villa:
- Beach Pool Villa: $3,999 — 1,900 square feet and includes a pool
- Overwater Villa: $4,999 — 1,237 square feet and directly over the water
- Overwater Sunset Pool Villa: $6,499 — 1,237 square feet, over the water, and includes a pool
These rates include a discount on the site’s published price (we’ll get further into that down below), but the Travelzoo packages provide much more than just a room. You’ll also receive:
- Daily breakfast and 3-course dinner
- Bottled water in the room
- 22% taxes and gratuities already included
If you’ve ever spent any time in the Maldives, you likely already know how costly food and drinks are, especially at high-end resorts. Although this package doesn’t include alcohol or lunch, the savvy traveler can eliminate their food costs entirely with a well-timed breakfast and some snacks.
Hot Tip: Put any additional expenses on The World of Hyatt Credit Card to earn bonus points on your vacation.
You’ll also note the ability to book directly into an overwater villa , an option that is not provided when using points.
The Park Hyatt Maldives is also on the shortlist of exclusionary hotels that will not allow you to use a Suite Upgrade Award to confirm yourself into an overwater villa beforehand. You can, if you like, use a cash copay of $600+ per night to move to an overwater villa.
Booking Directly With the Hotel
So we know that we can spend $3,999 on a Travelzoo package for a 5-night stay at this hotel, but how does this compare to booking directly with cash? Those who value World of Hyatt elite status may want to earn the elite night credits associated with booking direct, or may otherwise want to take advantage of elite status benefits.
The voucher indicates that there are blackout dates of December 20 to 31, 2022, and January 1 to 10, 2023. There’s also a $150 nightly surcharge during peak season, which extends from December 15 to 19, 2022, and January 11 to February 28, 2023. You’re probably looking to avoid any extra costs after purchasing this package, so let’s take a look at rates for December 10 to 15, 2022.
Here’s that same beach pool villa, not including any meals:
As you can see, you’re already looking at more than double the cost before factoring in any meals .
Is it worth it to earn 5 elite night credits? Obviously, if you’re paying with a credit card that earns bonus points on travel, you’ll be able to plump up your stash pretty neatly here, but that’s certainly not worth it compared to spending half the amount via Travelzoo.
Using Points
Of course, many travelers aren’t looking to spend money at all on their vacations, which is a perfectly respectable option. In this case, it’s not easy to compare apples-to-apples as the Travelzoo voucher books into a room category you can’t attain with points. Still, let’s take a look at how prices compare.
As a Category 7 hotel, you’ll pay anywhere between 25,000 to 35,000 points per night for your room. These are considered standard dates, which means you’ll pay 30,000 points per night:
A 5-night stay here will cost you 150,000 points in total . That’s a pretty good deal, especially when you consider that we value Hyatt points at 1.5 cents each. This means you’ll redeem just $2,250 worth of points for a beach villa. That’s an excellent value, no matter which way you slice it.
Hot Tip: Check out our handy guide for the best ways to fly and stay in the Maldives with points and miles if you’re looking for a little variety.
However, you can opt for a cash copay to upgrade on reward nights. In this case, upgrading to a beach pool villa as illustrated in the Travelzoo package comes with a $200+ nightly surcharge (overwater villas are $600+ nightly).
If this were an option you chose, you’d be handing out a total of 150,000 World of Hyatt points (worth $2,250) and a further $1,000 in cash for a total cost of $3,250.
Remember, however, that the Travelzoo packages include both breakfast and dinner. Unless you’re a Globalist (which will get you free breakfast), neither of these will be included with your redemption. And at a resort where tacos cost $26, be prepared to shell out a lot of money on your meals.
Plus, you’re out 150,000 World of Hyatt points when choosing this redemption, which you’d otherwise save and redeem elsewhere when using the voucher.
Bottom Line: There’s no denying that you could save a lot more money when using points to book. But for this example, in order for it to truly be cheaper than the Travelzoo option, you’ll want to stick to the base room and skimp on meals. Meanwhile, booking directly costs more than twice as much as Travelzoo’s offering.
Purchasing a Travelzoo package is simple. The process will depend on whether Travelzoo is acting as the seller or is just directing you to another site. In cases where you purchase your voucher via Travelzoo’s website, you’ll simply add the voucher to your cart and then check out.
Otherwise, Travelzoo will send you to the travel operator’s website where you can book direct. In some cases, you’ll need to call to book, but the directions for booking will be clearly delineated.
Purchasing a Travelzoo package doesn’t usually mean you’ve actually booked the travel. Instead, once you’ve completed your purchase, your voucher will give you instructions for redemptions. This can require emailing a hotel or cruise line to find availability.
Hot Tip: Prior to buying your Travelzoo package, check availability for your desired hotel by heading directly to the hotel’s website and searching for your dates.
Once you’ve followed the instructions for redeeming your voucher, you’ll be able to confirm your booking. After that, all you’ll need to do is travel!
Since you’ll likely use cash to pay for these travel packages, you’ll want to use a credit card that will maximize your points. Travelzoo codes as travel, which means you’ll have plenty of opportunities to build up your points.
Here are some excellent options from which to choose:
- Chase Sapphire Reserve ® : Earn 3x Chase Ultimate Rewards points per $1 spent on travel
- Citi Strata Premier℠ Card : Earn 3x Citi ThankYou points per $1 spent on travel
- U.S. Bank Altitude ® Connect Visa Signature ® Card : Earn 4x points per $1 spent on travel
- Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card : Earn 2x Capital One miles per $1 spent on all purchases
- Citi Custom Cash ® Card : Earn 5x Citi ThankYou Points per $1 spent on the first $500 per billing cycle on select travel (including Travelzoo)
Let’s say that you used your Chase Sapphire Reserve card to purchase the Park Hyatt package above. The out-of-pocket cost for the cheapest package is $3,999. When using this card to pay, you’d earn 12,000 Chase Ultimate Rewards points.
We value Chase Ultimate Rewards points at 2 cents each (thanks to strong transfer partners), which means your points would be worth a total of $240. That’s not a huge amount compared to the cost of the package, but it’s certainly good for a night in a nice hotel.
You can always use cash to pay for these purchases, which can be a great idea when you’re looking to earn some extra bonus points. However, if you’re really looking to redeem points for your vacation, it’s still possible to redeem points for Travelzoo packages.
To do so, you’ll want to use a credit card that will allow you to redeem points for statement credits. There are a few different options here.
Chase Pay Yourself Back
Taking advantage of the Chase Pay Yourself Back feature when travel is an eligible category is a roundabout way to redeem points for your purchase.
Pay Yourself Back allows you to redeem your Chase Ultimate Rewards points against specific charges you make on your cards within 90 days of purchase. The categories that work for Pay Yourself Back rotate and will differ depending on the card that you hold. Travel would need to be an eligible category on your card to reimburse your Travelzoo expenses for up to 1.5 cents per point , which is the best rate you’ll find anywhere .
In short, you’ll want to buy the package, then redeem your Chase points against any eligible Pay Yourself Back purchases, essentially wiping away the cash value of your package.
Currently, the Pay Yourself Back categories do not include travel.
American Express Membership Rewards Cards
Amex Membership Rewards cardholders can reimburse their purchases via statement credits, but this only provides a value of 0.6 cents per point .
Citi ThankYou Rewards Cards
You can redeem Citi ThankYou Points for a statement credit of 0.5 to 1 cent each ( depending on the card ) against any purchase you make using your card.
Bottom Line: Consider carefully when using your miles or points for a “cash-back” or a statement credit. We value most miles and points at 1.6 to 2.2 cents each , which is far more than you’d receive when redeeming them as statement credits.
Travelzoo isn’t for everybody, and it’s obviously a hard sell in a community focused on points and miles. However, there’s significant value to be had in the right circumstances. If you’re looking to travel somewhere without chain hotels, Travelzoo can offer discounted options and the ability to earn plenty of bonus points along the way. But that’s not all — even when you’re heading somewhere famous for points redemptions, it’s always worth taking a look at Travelzoo packages to see if a better deal is offered.
And while it’s not necessarily ideal to redeem your points for a Travelzoo package, it can certainly be done, thus rendering your vacation truly free.
