Ship tip

Ports of call

Stockholm, Sweden

5 out of 5
We pre-nighted there and loved Stockholm. Very clean, safe and incredible night life. Just wish we had more time there.

Helsinki, Finland

5 out of 5
Loved Helsinki! Beautiful and felt very safe. We did a hop on/off bus and boat tour which was perfect!

St. Petersburg, Russian Federation

5 out of 5
Very nice tour but wears you out there is so much to see! Had a great experience with Shore Excursions group which had a much smaller group and Irina was an awesome tour guide! No issues at all with them providing the visa either.

Tallinn, Estonia

5 out of 5
My favorite port! So cool ! Mid-evil town. Did a morning walking tour then just explored a couple restaurants, bars and shops on our own.

Riga, Latvia

4 out of 5
I almost liked Riga as much as Tallin, however, we were forced to use RCCL as Shore Excursions group didn't offer any tours in Riga. We were not happy with this tour. Way too many people could barely hear our guide, and overall were not impressed by her either.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
No issues at all!

Did Baltics and Norway earlier this year in May on the Serenade - a wonderful holiday.
