The Baltic is one of our favorite luxury cruise destinations, offering a stunning blend of cultural and natural treasures alongside a rich, fascinating history.
From the countless beautiful islands that welcome each ship before reaching Stockholm to the elegant cities scattered along the coast, this part of the world has truly captivated us, and we are confident it will enchant you as well.
Our favorite Baltic ports include sophisticated yet welcoming Copenhagen, known for its iconic Tivoli Gardens, and medieval Tallinn, with its charming cobbled streets and vibrant flower stalls. The Finnish capital, Helsinki, also impresses with its unique architecture and intriguing blend of historical and modern influences. Each of these destinations, though distinct, offers a glimpse into the diverse cultures of northern Europe.
Luxury Baltic cruises often include picturesque isles such as Bornholm and Visby, a former Hanseatic port and now a UNESCO World Heritage site. No Baltic journey would be complete without a stop in vibrant Hamburg, and many itineraries also feature the seaside charm of Warnemünde in Germany with its inviting sandy beaches, the bustling port of Gdynia in Poland, and Riga in Latvia with its eclectic mix of museums and cultural offerings. Each destination brings its own unique allure, making a Baltic cruise a truly unforgettable experience.
There is a wide variety of luxury Baltic cruise itineraries available on a range of ship sizes. These include round-trip UK sailings from Southampton, Dover, Tower Bridge and Greenwich and fly/cruise options that often commence or finish in either Copenhagen or Stockholm.
The Baltic luxury cruise season normally commences in mid-May and finishes in mid- September. The warmest weather is generally in July and August, but just like our British whether it is not always reliable and can be changeable. Layered clothing is appropriate, as the temperature can change extensively during the day.
Round-trip UK sailings tend to last for 14 nights to 16 nights, depending on how much of the Baltic one wishes to experience. The various fly/cruise options tend to last from seven nights to 14 nights, naturally the longer ones cover more ports of call and have the benefit of being often round-trip Copenhagen or round-trip Stockholm.
Understandably, we love this part of the world so much that as a team we have undertaken many luxury Baltic cruises over the last 27 years and it would be our pleasure to share our expert knowledge and advice with you and to arrange the perfect luxury Baltic cruise for you at the guaranteed best fare. We shall look forward to hearing from you.
