$8999—Europe to Arctic: 3 Queens in Northern Lights season

The ever-popular Three Queens is back and this is Imagine Cruising’s most affordable version yet. You’ll follow Europe’s fading autumn light north towards Tromsø’s Arctic skies in aurora season. Flights, transfers and two London nights set the stage before Queen Victoria reaches Bruges and Cherbourg. Queen Anne then brings Lisbon’s warmth and an overnight beneath city lights. Vigo opens the way to Santiago de Compostela, Europe’s great pilgrimage city. Then Queen Mary 2 turns north. Fjords narrow, daylight retreats and the atmosphere changes completely. Bergen brings colourful waterfronts and mountain views. Trondheim adds Viking history and Norway’s medieval heart. Andalsnes surrounds you with towering peaks and deep fjords. Queen Mary 2 waits in Tromsø while mountains disappear into darkness. You have two Arctic evenings for the Northern Lights to appear. Each Queen brings a distinct mood, while Cunard’s familiar rituals maintain the journey’s rhythm. Afternoon tea, gala evenings and polished service carry across all three ships.At 28 nights, the holiday feels substantial while keeping the time commitment manageable. Few journeys combine this much ceremony, contrast and natural theatre. The three Queens shape the experience. Tromso gives it a finale worthy of them.

Itinerary highlights

London begins the journey with time to explore Britain's vibrant capital before joining your Cunard voyage from nearby Southampton.

Medieval canals, cobbled streets and beautifully preserved architecture make Bruges, reached from Zeebrugge, one of Belgium's most enchanting cities.

On the Normandy coast, Cherbourg blends maritime history with elegant French cafés and easy access to the D-Day beaches and picturesque countryside.

An overnight stay in Lisbon allows extra time to explore colourful neighbourhoods, historic tramways and sweeping views across the Tagus River.

The Galician city of Santiago de Compostela is the highlight beyond Vigo, renowned for its magnificent cathedral and centuries of pilgrimage history.

One of Norway's oldest cities, Trondheim charms with colourful waterfront warehouses, Viking heritage and the magnificent Nidaros Cathedral.

An overnight stay in Tromsø offers the opportunity to experience the Arctic after dark, with extra time to explore the city or search for the Northern Lights.

Surrounded by towering peaks, Åndalsnes is the gateway to some of Norway's most spectacular mountain scenery and dramatic fjord landscapes.

Historic Bryggen Wharf, colourful timber buildings and a vibrant harbour showcase the maritime heritage of Bergen, often called the gateway to Norway's fjords.

Returning to Southampton, the journey concludes with a final night in London, providing time to reflect on an unforgettable voyage through Europe and Norway.
