Review summary

The ports we visited were all very interesting but the best part of the trip was the time on the ship.  The crew members were all very congenial and happy to make our days fun.  We had a suite and it was definitely worth the extra money.  Tallinn, Estonia and Helsinki, Finland were my favorite ports along with our 3 days prior in Amsterdam.

Still waiting on refund from an alcove rental that had to be cancelled due to change in itinerary.

Our cabin butler made our trip the best ever.

Ship tip

The premium beverage package and the Persian Garden were great upgrades. I wish we had known in advance about the two free specialty dinners that came with the suite.

Ports of call

Amsterdam, Netherlands

If you can, go at least 2 days early or stay 2 days later to explore Amsterdam.

Warnemunde (Berlin), Germany

5 out of 5
Didn't go into Berlin due to length of trip but we loved Rostock.

Tallinn, Estonia

We took the soap making excursion and loved it. Would love to have more time in Tallinn.

St. Petersburg, Russian Federation

3 out of 5
We found the tour of Catherines' Palace and Pushkin to be a long day and the lunches were questionable.

Nice review, thanks for sharing!  We loved this itinerary earlier this year (on a different ship) and had an amazing Mediterranean cruise aboard Celebrity Silhouette last year!  There’s so much to see in Europe; we can’t wait to go back!
