Amsterdam, Netherlands 

Amsterdam isn’t just a destination, it’s a feeling. With Celebrity Cruises, you’ll step straight into the city’s iconic charm, from the cobbled streets of the Jordaan district, lined with boutiques and Canalside cafés, to a warm slice of Dutch apple pie paired with perfect coffee. Explore the Van Gogh Museum for an intimate look at the artist’s turbulent genibraus, or take in cutting-edge exhibits at the Stedelijk. Drift through the city on a canal that reveals Amsterdam from an entirely new point of view. As night falls, the options widen, whether it's a world-class concert at the Concertgebouw or a cozy evening in a candlelit pub, this is a city that’s easy to immerse yourself deeply in.
Travel Tips
1
Biking is the traditional mode of transportation here, so do like the locals and explore the city on two wheels. There are typically stands where you can hail a taxi, but unlike other cities, you can’t hail a taxi just anywhere. Otherwise, it’s fairly easy to walk on foot around the city center to see Amsterdam’s most important sights.
2
There’s not a ton of shopping near the cruise port, but you should leave time before your cruise from Amsterdam to go shopping in the city center to grab local items like Dutch pottery and Amsterdam-themed souvenirs. Look for fashion boutiques and daily markets like Albert Cuypmarkt or Westermarkt for clothing. There are both daily and weekly markets scattered all over the city, where local food vendors and antique sellers offer unique finds for all tastes.
3
The official currency of the Netherlands is the euro, and you’ll find that credit cards are accepted in most places. Your best bet is using Visa or Mastercard. ATMs are plentiful, too. Some smaller shops and restaurants will only accept debit cards with a pin code. When it comes to tipping, leave a 10% tip at restaurants, or 5% if you’re ordering a coffee or snack. For taxi drivers, it’s polite to round up to the nearest euro, or tip 5% to 10% of your fare.

Bruges, (Zeebrugge) 

Gracefully combining past and present, as well as Flemish and French, Bruges offers a little something for everyone. Linked by the Baudouin Canal, this medieval town is the stuff of fairytale and storybooks. Cobblestone streets, old, historic churches and a dreamy landscape make this a very sought after destination -- especially during the summer months. Stroll through the Markt, a bustling plaza where the rhythmic beat of horse-drawn carriages echoes off a soaring belfry tower. Immerse yourself in a rich art history, best reflected in the paintings of Bruges’ own Jan Van Eyck, one of the most significant Renaissance artists of the 15th century. Spend a delightful day on the medieval streets of this city with a seemingly endless supply of charm, culture, and beauty.Foodies will revel in the eclectic dining options at local bistros. Dig into sweet Belgian waffles and stop by the renowned chocolate boutiques on your cruise to Bruges. If sampling the fresh fish of this country is on your agenda, the fish market located here is one of the biggest in Europe. Or, take a scenic cruise through the medieval city of Ghent, Belgium and discover important landmarks, including Chinese Teahouses, 13th-century monasteries and castles of the Counts.
Travel Tips
1
You’ll find taxis will pick you up from the Brugge cruise port or from the central city square, called the Markt. Another popular mode of transportation in this part of Belgium is bicycle. If you’re hanging out mostly in town, much of the center of Bruges is charming and conveniently walkable.
2
Most of the shopping that Belgium is famous for won’t be near the Zeebrugge terminal, but rather in the historic city center or the Markt, where vendors often sell their wares and chocolatiers give out samples of their famous chocolates. Otherwise, shopping in Bruges ranges from middle of the road to high-end boutiques like you’d come to expect from a cosmopolitan, European city.
3
The official currency of Belgium is the Euro, and you’ll find plenty of ATMs while on your Bruges, or, as it’s stylized in Dutch, Brugge cruise. When shopping in Bruges, you’ll quickly notice that bargaining and haggling is common in local markets, but not widely practiced in higher end stores. Tipping isn’t common in Belgian culture.

Paris (Le Havre), France 

The allure and romance of cruise to Paris are legendary. This capital city of France is home to innumerable museums, such as the Louvre, Musée d'Orsay, Musée Picasso and Musée Rodin, parks and gardens, including the Tuileries Garden on the banks of the Seine and the Left Bank Luxembourg Garden, as well as monuments such as the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe.
Travel Tips
1
The easiest and most stress-free way to get to Paris from Le Havre is on a shore excursion. If you prefer to travel independently, there are usually hourly trains to Paris Saint-Lazare, a journey which takes two hours. Getting around Paris itself is easy, as there’s an efficient metro, and walking or cycling is a pleasure. If you want to stay in Le Havre for the day, there are shuttle buses from the cruise port to the center. Car rental is also available.
2
In Paris, there’s unrivaled luxury shopping; the Golden Triangle in the 8th arrondissement, the avenues of Champs-Elysées, Georges V, and Montaigne, is home to every designer label imaginable. Galeries Lafayette Haussmann in the 9th arrondissement is both a historic landmark and the city’s most prestigious department store. Head to the Latin Quarter for books, including the English-language Shakespeare & Company, near Notre Dame. On weekends, the Marché aux Puces de Saint-Ouen is one of Europe’s largest flea and bric-a-brac markets. In Le Havre, you’ll find fashion, beauty, and fast food at the Espace Coty mall and the Docks Vauban shopping center. There are regular produce markets where you can taste cheeses, fresh oysters, cold meats, and crepes.
3
The currency in France is the Euro. There are ATMs everywhere, but many places use contactless payments for even small transactions. Don’t try to pay in U.S. dollars; they’re not widely accepted here. In restaurants and cafés, a 15% service charge is always added to the bill, which will say “service compris”, or service included. You can leave a cash gratuity on top if you like, but it’s not expected; hospitality staff in France are paid a living wage. In taxis, you can round up the bill. Tour guides would appreciate a small cash tip, but otherwise, this is not a big tipping culture.

Day at Sea Highlights

La Coruna, Spain 

If there ever was a seafaring city, La Coruña is it. It's been a port and gateway to world travelers for over 2000 years. And from almost any spot on your La Coruna cruise, you can witness spectacular panoramic views of the ocean. La Coruña is the capital of Spain’s Galicia region and boasts some 2000 years of history. Much of it can be discovered along the streets of its “Ciudad Vieja” or Old Town. Here, cobbled lanes roll up and down hills, winding past gothic churches, stately plazas, imposing fortifications and all manner of medieval relics. At the blustery tip of the city looms the Tower of Hercules, a still working Roman lighthouse, built in the 1st century AD, when its beacon marked the very limits of the civilized world. Beyond the shadows of history, you might find yourself bathed in sun-drenched bliss on a spectacular beach, or trying on the latest fashions found along the shopping streets of this commercial and cultural hotspot.
Travel Tips
1
It’s a short walk from the cruise terminal to the center of town, which is extra convenient for cruise passengers. You can reach most sightseeing destinations on foot. Taxis are available to hail from the cruise port as well, but it’s recommended to use those for destinations that are beyond walking distance. There is also a public bus system.
2
The area around La Coruña cruise port has some shops and a cafe. There’s also a shopping center called Los Cantones, where La Coruña cruise passengers can go shopping for fun or for necessities that might be lacking after days at sea. The main drag for shopping in the city is Calle San Andres. Note that many shops close on Sundays.
3
The official currency used in Spain is the euro, and you’ll find that debit and credit cards are widely accepted in this part of the country. Keeping some euros on hand is helpful for small, locally operated cafes and restaurants. In Spain, tipping is totally optional. Many leave 5% or less at restaurants. You can round up to the nearest euro when leaving a tip for a cab driver. Tipping your bartender is pretty rare here.

Porto (Leixoes), Portugal 

Porto, Portugal’s second largest city after Lisbon, is one of Europe’s oldest cities and was registered as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1996. Of course, Porto’s name itself hints at perhaps Portugal’s most famous export—port. This is where the fortified wine was first produced. The city has a rich history and is reminiscent of times gone by. You wouldn’t be wrong to compare it to an ideal Shakespearean backdrop. In Porto, the skyline is composed of sky-high bell towers, opulent baroque churches, and majestic beaux art buildings, which all create a romantic air that’s only heightened by the glorious shafts of sunlight that illuminate the city.
Travel Tips
1
Porto’s public transportation system is extensive, making it easy to get around. The city’s best sights and attractions are easily navigable by foot. Taxis are available as well. Many travelers prefer to take the tram system, which allows you to see the city’s cobblestoned center. The novelty and nostalgia of riding the streetcar is a fun way to take in the city.
2
In Porto, you’ll find a unique fusion of old and new, particularly when it comes to its shopping scene. Modern, cutting-edge fashion, boutiques, and art galleries dot the Ribeira Square, contrasting with its age-old gothic architecture. Don’t miss the chance to stock up on your favorite Port wine, or enjoy cultural relics of Portuguese life and culture at locally-owned shopped A Vida Portuguesa. Grab a coffee on the second floor of The Feeting Room, then go shopping for boutique items and shoes by Portuguese designers. Hunt for vintage treasures at Patch Porto, a thrifting haven for retro clothing and home goods.
3
You’ll use the euro as your main currency while you cruise Porto, Portugal. It’s recommended you keep a bit of cash for small expenses and purchases along the way. Credit cards are also commonly accepted in Porto. When tipping for coffee or a beverage, you can round to the nearest euro. Leave a 5% to 10% tip at restaurants for excellent service, particularly at fine dining establishments. Unlike other parts of Europe, you typically won’t see a service charge added to your bill in lieu of tipping.

Day at Sea Highlights

Malaga, Spain 

Malaga is the gateway to the Andalusian countryside and the Costa del Sol, some of the region's most impressive beaches. It also is home to a number of magnificent palaces, including the Moorish Alcabaza and Gibralfaro.
Travel Tips
1
It’s easy to traipse around Malaga without a car, and many cruise ships visiting Malaga recommend that passengers walk around the city. There’s also a bike rental service and taxis available from the cruise port. A hop-on/hop-off bus for tourists runs frequently, too.
2
Malaga’s best shopping is found in the center of the city, specifically along Calle Marques de Larios. There are many shopping centers located throughout the city for those looking for department store finds, designer goods, and other wares at varying price points. Souvenirs are available for purchase at the terminal where Malaga cruises stop, which many people pick up before heading back to their ship.
3
The euro is the official currency of Spain. Passengers on cruise ships visiting Malaga will find plenty of currency exchanges and ATMs in the city. Tipping is considered unusual in Spain for the most part, but rounding up to the nearest euro for your cab driver or giving 5% to 10% at a restaurant is considered more than polite in most circumstances.

Day at Sea Highlights

Barcelona, Spain 

Formerly a sleepy Spanish city, Barcelona has recently been reborn as an eclectic fusion of the modern and medieval. This coastal city exudes European charm and welcomes multitudes of travelers every year. It’s a major destination with must-see architectural gems that date back some 2,000 years. You’ll encounter fascinating examples from the Roman Empire, the Middle Ages, the Modern masters like Gaudî, and many Cataluñian greats. Outstanding art museums can be found throughout the city, proudly displaying the works of world-renowned artists and countrymen, including Goya, Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dalî, and Joan Miró. For a respite from the hustle and bustle of the city center, venture to the awaiting Mediterranean Sea and all the seaside has to offer. Maybe a brisk hike in the nearby forest covered Collserola Hills or the hilltop in Montjuïc with its botanical gardens is the perfect recharge for a rollicking evening in one of the premier party capitals of the world. Round out your cruise to Barcelona dining at a tapas bar and savor a variety of delicious small dishes to share—from traditional Spanish to the more innovative.
Travel Tips
1
Barcelona is a pedestrian-friendly city with plenty of public transportation options. From the Port Terminal, there is a shuttle bus service that will drop you off directly in Las Ramblas. There are hop-on, hop-off buses, bike rentals and plenty of cycle lanes, an efficient metro system, and abundant taxis and ride-hailing services. You can walk, too, but distances between neighborhoods are quite long in the heat. To visit Montjuic for the Miró Foundation and other attractions, take the scenic cable car from the port.
2
Souvenir stalls line Las Ramblas, but beware of fakes here. You’ll find much more authentic clothing and craft items in the Gothic Quarter, and quirky, boho fashions in El Born and El Raval. There’s mainstream and Spanish fashion galore around Plaça Catalunya and designer shops along chic Passeig de Gracia. Shop for food gifts in La Boqueria market, and for the best Gaudí-inspired souvenirs, the excellent gift shop at the Sagrada Familia basilica.
3
In Barcelona, the currency is the euro. You won’t have any trouble finding ATMs throughout the city. Exchange offices are typically open for later hours than banks, but you will receive a better exchange rate at most banks. There’s not a big tipping culture here, but 5% to 10% is a suitable token for good service in a restaurant. Round up the bill for taxis if paying in cash. There’s no need to tip bartenders.
