'I'm a travel expert-there are 3 otherworldly spots in Europe you must visit this summer'

There are so many gorgeous locations around the world, and it can be hard to pick where to go. From staying in to travelling further afield, picking a destination without any guidance can be a struggle.

However, you don't have to go far to see beauty, and a cruise may even be a good option if you like to visit multiple countries at once. If you're struggling, Colin Rillie, who works as a sales manager for and has been on around 60 cruises, has curated his must-visit list. Whether you are a history enthusiast, a lover or a seeker of hidden gems, the expert has shared it all.

Majorca

The expert said: "Most visitors to know about the famous caves of Drach, but few realise there's a hidden cave with its own underground beach.

"Cova des Coloms, tucked away on Majorca's eastern coast near Cala Romántica, is one of the only sea caves on the island where you can swim inside and stand on a sandy shore beneath towering rock formations.

"This adventure requires a short coastal hike followed by a swim into the cave entrance, making it a true hidden gem for thrill-seekers.

"Bring a waterproof flashlight to fully explore the cave's otherworldly rock formations." What's more, Majorca is just a couple of hours' flight from London, or MSC offers a variety of cruises to the destination."

Norweigan Fjords

One of the most famous and picturesque fjords in is Hellesylt, a small village located at the head of Geirangerfjord.

The expert said: "The fjord's beauty is often considered iconic. I would choose this location to see the fjords as it's a very peaceful spot and a good base for exploring the inner parts of the Geirangerfjord, which includes sites like the Seven Sisters Waterfall. For a more intimate fjord experience, Hellesylt is ideal."

For those wanting to make the most of evenings, the cruise pro recommended hopping on a sunset ferry from Hellesylt to Geiranger. The easiest way to experience this type of holiday is via a cruise, and MSC offers a variety, departing from Southampton.

Canary Islands

For a relaxing beach holiday with a bit of adventure, Colin recommended the , with its natural volcanic rock.

He said: "These hidden gems, formed by ancient lava flow, create crystal-clear tidal pools perfect for swimming and snorkelling.

"One of the best spots? Charco Azul in El Hierro or Piscinas Naturales de Garachico in Tenerfie. Both offer the most incredible, almost otherworldly swimming experience.

"Just make sure to check the tide times, as low tide is the best and safest time to enjoy these stunning natural pools." The Canary Islands are around a four-hour flight from London, or if you fancy a cruise, MSC Cruises offers a variety of itineraries.
