Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) is giving your customers the chance to secure a last-minute summer getaway to Europe this year across a range of itineraries

With some sailings starting from as low as £519pp for an Inside Cabin, your customers won’t need to break the bank to get their hands on an escape in the next few months.

Available itineraries include iconic Mediterranean and Greek Isles cruises visiting headline destinations such as Athens via Piraeus, Lisbon, Nice and Florence on a range of vessels across the NCL fleet.

For those looking to travel in August, there is still capacity available on Norwegian Dawn’s® seven-day Mediterranean from Barcelona (Tarragona) to Lisbon: Spain & Gibraltar cruise.

Prices start from £565pp* for an Inside Cabin and £875pp* for a Balcony Cabin.

Located on the sun-kissed coastline of the Algarve, Portimão is a colourful city with a bustling waterfront and a charming city centre decorated with parks and plazas. The Museum of Portimão, which traces human settlement in the area as far back as the Roman and Islamic periods, is the perfect stop for history buffs.
