Costa Brava Coastline
Breathtaking views of the Mediterranean inlets and rocky shores during the initial climb out of Girona.
Mont Blanc Massif
The highest peak in Western Europe often stands out clearly above the alpine cloud layer.
The Dolomites
The jagged, pale limestone peaks of Northern Italy are often visible to the south during the central cruise.
Austrian Glaciers
The permanent ice fields of the Hohe Tauern range, including the Grossglockner peak.
The High Tatras
As you descend into Krakow, these sharp granite peaks on the Slovakian border provide a dramatic backdrop.
This is the best side for mountain enthusiasts. For the best photography of the High Tatras during descent, choose a flight arriving in the late afternoon for soft lighting. Keep an eye out early for the French Riviera coast if the plane turns east immediately.
