Baltic Sea Cruise

A Baltic cruise is a great way to explore some of Northern Europe’s most enchanting destinations. These fascinating countries, rich in history and unspoiled nature are renowned for their medieval cities, gothic architecture, classic art museums and galleries. There really is no better way to visit the Baltic Sea than on a cruise with majestic views across the skyline and where forests give way to cascading waterfalls. In addition to these magnificent attractions is some of the most spectacular scenery in the world including glacial landscapes, river gorges, beautiful beaches and the famous Fjords.

The Baltic Sea is a stretch of sea located in Northern Europe. The region is made up of nine countries, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Sweden and Russia. The Baltic Sea is connected to the North Sea and the White Sea by man-made canals. With such a wide variety of destinations to visit, all with different cultures, the Baltic makes for the perfect cruise destination. A Baltic Sea cruise holiday is a perfect choice if you are looking for a holiday with no flying, simply set sail straight from many UK departure ports including Southampton.

Baltic cruising opens up an ancient world. Harking back to their Viking ancestry, the residents of the Baltic thrive on ocean life. Fresh fish is plentiful in local restaurants and yachts are moored in the marinas. Away from the coast, more delights can be found, a highlight being St Petersburg, an artistic and sophisticated city with intriguing moods and historic attractions.
