Frommer's European Cruises & Ports of Call covers more than two-dozen American and European cruise lines, with full details on itineraries, rates, cabins, crews, cuisine, activities and entertainment, children's programs, pools and spas, fitness facilities, passenger profiles, and more. There's complete coverage of 33 European ports of call, from the Mediterranean to northern Europe to the British Isles, discussing attractions close to the port, the best excursions (both organized and on your own), and the best shopping buys. You'll also get valuable tips on booking your cruise at the best price and getting a good deal on air travel to and from Europe.
This guide is heavy on cruise line data but has enough info on places to be worthwhile for scouting the ports of call.
Very helpful guidebook so far

Out of the two guidebooks I bought recently this one is the top. Great coverage of the cruiselines and good coverage of ports. Cruise reviews were not too indepth and not too general. Covered all major cruiselines (to my knowledge) and a lot of the higher end cruiselines also. The ports were well covered also, would have liked to see more detailed step by step info on how to get from port to train station for those of us who do ports on our own. Though for many ports does have a very good map of the "tourist" areas in the ports. I will see how it works on my cruise inside the ports and let you all know.
