Baltic Sea Cruise: St. Petersburg & Baltic States 

The arrival in the Danish city of Copenhagen shows just how special the city is. Built on two islands, Copenhagen houses the popular Rococo district Frederiksstaden. Here you can also visit Amalienborg Palace, the seat of the Danish royal family. Close to the main train station you can reach the Tivoli, a recreational and amusement park with colourful flower beds and fountains. --> Copenhagen cruises

In Stockholm you’ll find the Royal Castle Drottningholm, where the royal family resides. Just outside the city, on picturesque Lake Mälaren, is Gripsholm Castle, which was once the home of Kurt Tucholsky in one of his stories. If you want to give your children an encounter with the heroes of their childhood, visit Junibacken, the Astrid Lindgren Museum, where Pippi Longstocking is located. --> Stockholm cruises

Finland's capital Helsinki lies on the Gulf of Finland. Upstream are more than 80 islands and small islets, which provide a unique atmosphere at the harbour entrance. As you walk through the neighbourhoods, you can see that each district has its own charm. Do not miss the Suomenlinna Fortress, perched on the coast and accessible by ferry. More than 80 hectares is the Gibraltar of the North, as the fortress is also called. In the Visitor Centre you will find details about the construction and use of more than 200 buildings. With a kayak you can head to the offshore islands for peace and quiet. -->Helsinki cruises

Not far from the Finnish capital you can reach Eastern European waters as your ship arrives in Tallinn. The capital of Estonia is also the cultural centre of the country. Stroll through the thick city walls to the cobblestone old town with its shops and cafes. Here you can also climb the defense tower Kiek in de Kök, which was preserved from the 15th century.

Further East, on your Baltic Cruise, you will reach one of the most famous Russian cities, St. Petersburg, the former Leningrad. If you are in the city, there is no way past the world famous Hermitage and its artworks. In the Katharinenpalast, dedicated to the former Tsarina Catherine the Great, the amber room will take your breath away. But even if you just stroll through the city, you will feel the special flair of this Russian cultural capital, which owes its name to the city founder Peter the Great. Thanks to its countless bridges, St. Petersburg is also known beyond its city limits as the Venice of the North. --> St. Petersburg cruises
