The Luxury Over the holidays the port cities of Northern Europe beckon visitors to a winter wonderland. This December, the Fred Olsen company offers a memorable voyage aboard its elegant Balmoral to ports of call graced by traditional holiday markets. Embarking from Dover, England, on December 12, the seven-night cruise stops in Copenhagen, which will glow with enchanting lights. The ship also stops in Hamburg, Germany, and Amsterdam (pictured), where passengers can browse for handcrafted decorations or homemade sweets. Travelers will spend evenings on land, and pass their days at sea, perhaps warming up in the British pub or leafing through a book in the library (topside turns a bit chilly).

The Value Berth prices over the holidays are discounted as much as 55 percent; rates start at $630. The cost of a balcony stateroom starts at $1,147.

The Catch This is a popular itinerary, so travelers need to book ASAP.
