Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Comfortable bed, clean bathroom with adequate amenities. Size of cabin adequate. Only negatives were poor quality of toilet paper, and lack of an electric outlet close to the bed which made use of my wife's CPAP machine difficult.

Ship tip

Go for it without hesitation.

Ports of call

Copenhagen, Denmark

5 out of 5
Did an excursion. Nice small city. Food price very high.

Warnemunde (Berlin), Germany

5 out of 5
Excellent choice of city on this cruise. Berlin is full of history. Excursion was well organized for the most part. Negatives were: 1) too many small stops were made, but no opportunity provided to visit a museum or attraction. 2) Train journey from Warnemunde to and from Berlin was poorly organized with many people including me not being able to find seating in their assigned compartment.

Tallinn, Estonia

3 out of 5
Adds a different flavor to the cruise, but there wasn't much to see except some old structures in this small town.

St. Petersburg, Russian Federation

5 out of 5
The ship stayed docked for two days. This was the star attraction of the cruise with a combination of history, handicrafts and city sights.

Helsinki, Finland

4 out of 5
Not much to see, food and souvenirs quite expensive, but adds to the Scandinavian experience. Very peaceful, relaxed atmosphere which added to the vacation mood.

Stockholm, Sweden

4 out of 5
Very good place to visit. City hall and palace were enjoyable. Negative point: The excursion included a visit to the Vasa museum which is all about a 17th century ship. I would have enjoyed a visit to a museum with more material such as the Nordic museum.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Very well organized. My disembarkation was integrated with an excursion ending at the airport, all of which worked well.
