Review summary

Activity onboard is limited to the older crowds with few children onboard (appearance wise). Buffet needs more variety each day and their dessert section is pathetic. Crew is friendly and provides outstanding service. Quiet rooms and peaceful atmosphere. Ship did not seem crowded at all.

Photo Gallery

We are not models but the quality was average and the cost way above...In addition, there did not seem to be enough time to get to all of the photo stations if you have a later dining

Nice option particularly later in the evening and during major sports events; e.g. World Cup

Ship tip

Definitely take advantage of the Serenity Deck package up front; particularly for breakfast when entering the Norwegian fjords. The deck chairs and package can be purchased in the Spa as soon as you arrive on deck.

Ports of call

Copenhagen, Denmark

5 out of 5
Spent 5-days in Copenhagen before cruise. Make sure you see Rosenborg Castle, Christianborg Castle and Fredericksborg Castle. If you get the chance, definitely spend some time in Nyhaven at night and do the canal tour. A Tivoli excursion is not worth the limited time you have on shore.

Oslo, Norway

4 out of 5

Warnemunde (Berlin), Germany

5 out of 5
We did the Schwerin Castle & Rostock tour thru Alla Tours..."excellent" with time afterwards to see Warnemunde.

Tallinn, Estonia

5 out of 5
All Tours again...book three (Estonia, Germany & Russia) and you get a huge discount. Old Town is a must. Get to the top by cab and walk down if doing your own thing.

St. Petersburg, Russian Federation

5 out of 5
Dull & dreary with the exception of the tour sights...The Hermitage, Catherine Palace, Yusupov’s Palace and Peterhof Summer Residence (outstanding)

Helsinki, Finland

5 out of 5
Not as much to see sightseeing that can't be done on your own. See Senate Square and spend relaxing time in the market square drinking and eating. Wonderful people to visit with.

Stockholm, Sweden

5 out of 5
A must see is the Vasa Museum (fantastic). Best part of the entire cruise. If we did it again we would take a tour of the Vasa with the rest of the day to spend as we like...
