Stockholm, Sweden
Taking a cruise to Baltic countries wouldn’t be complete without paying a visit to Stockholm, a city that combines historically rich medieval heritage and new trends in music and design. It encompasses an extensive natural setting, set on an archipelago of fourteen islands that are connected by 57 bridges. The island of Djurgården is home to the Abba Museum and the Vasa Museum, which displays a salvaged 17th-century war ship.
Copenhagen, Denmark
The easy-to-navigate capital of Denmark has many artistic treasures waiting to be explored, with its array of visually stimulating galleries, museums, and the world-famous Tivoli Gardens. From scenic canal cruises to royal palaces, this welcoming city has many forms of adventure. One of the most popular attractions is the glorious granite and bronze sculpture of The Little Mermaid by Eriksen, a Danish sculptor.
Tallinn, Estonia
This large capital city is packed with preserved medieval architecture. The most valuable architectural gems include old churches, fortifications and wooden suburbs. Set within Tallinn’s old town walls, venture down twisting cobblestone paths and marvel at the sight of the13th-century Gothic town hall, complete with its 64-metre-high tower. This fairytale old town is packed with things to see and do.
Helsinki, Finland
There’s plenty to explore in Helsinki, with new things around each corner and short distances between each major sight. This capital will meet your nature needs with many green spaces, including the Esplanade Park, and many cultural outdoor cafes near the waterfront. As well as being a dream city for walking, the unique Rock Church is located here. Helsinki is also where the famous Finnish composer, Jean Sibelius, once lived.
Skagen, Denmark
This city has some unique nature with endless grasslands and stretches of white sand. The Skagen Grey Lighthouse unique light attracted a colony of artists during the late 1800s and is located at the northern tip of the Jutland Peninsula, near the confluence of the Baltic and North Sea. Here, you can stand with a foot in two different seas.

It’s always fascinating to visit storied cities when cruising. The Baltic coastal city of Gdansk suffered heavy damage during World War II, but its medieval quarter has since been fully restored.
