Review summary

The tours were expensive but worth it.  I would especially recommend St. Petersburg and Berlin.  The palaces in St Petersburg were spectacular.  Seeing the Berlin wall and check point Charlie were interesting.  The tours we took of Stockholm and Helsinky were nice but nothing fabulous.  I did enjoy the town of Tallin.  We had unseasonably cold weather but it was sitll beautiful.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We had a problem the first night. When we pulled back the covers on the bed there were crumbs in the bed. We called guest services and it did take over an hour for someone to come and change the sheets. But from then on everyting was perfect.

Ship tip

Go to the Aqua restaurant for breakfast. The selection is a little smaller but there are no lines.
