A Schengen visa is a visa issued under the terms of the Schengen Agreement.
Schengen is a small town in Luxembourg, close to the borders with France and Germany where a number of EU countries signed an agreement in 1985 in order to facilitate free movement of persons within the EU area.
If the intention is to travel to several Schengen countries without having a main destination, one should apply for a visa at the Embassy/Consulate of the first country that one enters unless it is just a transit country.
The Schengen Agreement was signed in 1985 in the village of Schengen, on the borders of Luxembourg, France and Germany.
There are now 15 Schengen countries (as of the date this was written) who have chosen to “harmonize” their immigration policies and act in a uniform manner.
Schengen is very difficult for a cruiser to comply with because you can only be in the EU three months out of six.
