Enjoy a fresh and enchanting approach to Europe. Extra Feature: Top 10 Attractions - You can inspect a 1,000 year-old Viking ship in Oslo. Watch czarist leaders and their families return to life in St. Petersburg. And go swimming outdoors in Iceland - in Reykjavik’s geothermally-heated Blue Lagoon.

Customer Review: No mention of CRUISE in this DVD
My wife and I are taking a cruise to northern Europe this summer and thought this dvd might give us some good information. While this video does give a good overview to the sites of the cities, there is no mention of cruising. It would be nice to know where the ships dock, the best ways to get into town etc.
The narrator’s voice sounds a little like glenda, the good witch of the north. very annoying, like a woman reading a fairytale to a group of children.
