Cruising in Baltic and the Fjords

Introduction

Looking for something a little different from your traditional beach holiday in the sun? Are you interested in history, culture and architecture? Do misty fjords, spectacular waterfalls, and quaint villages sound like your kind of beauty? Why not see what happens when you venture north to the Baltic Sea and visit the great cities of Northern Europe. On our Baltic and Fjords Cruises you can see the Baroque and Neoclassical architecture of St. Petersburg, the amazing glaciers on the Svalbard Islands, eat out in cosmopolitan Helsinki, and visit the “Little Mermaid” statue in beautiful Copenhagen. The Baltic holds many lovely cities, and in the summer months the weather is pleasant and warm. Most people in these regions speak and understand English, which will make your travels a little bit easier.

The Land of the Midnight Sun

In places as far north as Norway, an amazing natural phenomenon occurs. Because of the way the earth tilts on its axis around the sun, during the summer months of June and July in Norway you can see the sun for a continuous 24 hours. This is an incredible thing to witness, imagine it being light all through the night! In Norway, as well as Denmark, Finland and other nearby countries, celebrations are held on the summer solstice involving bonfires and festivals. The Northern Lights are also visible from this part of the world, and this show-stopping display of shimmering colours fills the night sky and leaves viewers in awe. If you have never seen the Northern Lights, it will be a magical memory that you will never forget.

Why Go On A Baltic and Fjords Cruise?

A Baltic and Fjords Cruise is an excellent choice for a relaxing holiday full of fascinating art, architecture, and history. The Baltic region has a pleasant climate, especially in the summertime, and the cities here are modern and clean. The cruise terminals are most always close to the city centres and popular visitor attractions, so you will find everything that you want to do convenient and accessible. If you live in the UK, you can take a Baltic and Fjords Cruise by simply boarding the ship from a UK port such as Dover or Southampton. This saves you having to fly to the ship’s departure port, which adds time and money on to your holiday. Your Baltic and Fjords Cruise will take you to the most interesting and beautiful cities in this fascinating region, such as Copenhagen, Oslo, Helsinki, Tallinn, Stockholm, and St. Petersburg. You can also take in the stunning natural scenery of the fjords.

After a day of exploring these lovely cities on your Baltic and Fjords Cruise, you can make your way back to the boat, to the friendly and welcoming smiles of our staff, the exciting evening entertainment and dining, and the comfort of your warm bed. While sailing between ports, you can enjoy a day of shopping, swimming, or getting a workout at our on board fitness facility. Your comfort and enjoyment is our priority, and we work hard to ensure that you have a relaxing and fun Baltic and Fjords Cruise.
