Three other ideas:

1) You may be able to use a wifi device on skype in Europe dependent on getting a free or cheap wifi connection. Thinking of cellphone that has wifi, a PDA that has wifi or can take a wifi card, or a dedicated device like a Sony Mylo.

2) You may want to consider renting a satphone (Iridium, Globalstar, InMarSat) if you want to call from ship to shore while at sea. Cheaper means would be email from the ship if people you want to reach are comfortable with email and PC's; some cruise ships have internet cafes.

3) Very low tech but you can buy a local calling card when in port and walk over to a payphone.

Enjoy your trip!
