Lisbon with Douro Discovery FAQs
What type of climate should I expect?
The climate of most of Central and Eastern Europe, including southern Scandinavia, is categorised as humid continental. As in Western Europe, summers are mild, but winters are significantly colder, with snowfall a common occurrence in certain locations. Greenland and the Arctic are situated in the polar climate zone, resulting in chilly weather all year-round.
Can I do my own shore excursions?
Participation in shore excursions is at your discretion. If you would like to explore independently, your Cruise Director can make suggestions as to places to visit. You must make sure to return to the ship before it departs.
Visa Requirements for Europe?
From mid-2025, all visitors entering 30 countries within Europe for stays of up to 90 days will be required to complete an electronic travel authorisation (ETIAS) before entry. Please note that some European countries outside the European Schengen Area are also included in this scheme.
