Amber Baltic – Azores, London & Stockholm

About this cruise

Somewhere around day five the ship stops being transport and starts being home. This 27-night sailing from Fort Lauderdale on April 21, 2027 visits Kings Wharf, Ponta Delgada and Dover, with additional stops along the Baltic. The sailing ends in Copenhagen. The first couple of days are at sea, which gives you time to settle in and get to know the ship before the ports begin. Crossing 11 borders through the Baltic: Bermuda, Portugal, United Kingdom, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Most ports give you about 10 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Caribbean Princess takes the food seriously, with 13 restaurants to choose from. 7 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. By night three you start recognising faces; by night ten you're swapping numbers. That's the magic of a longer sailing. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Fort Lauderdale has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. A spring departure helps too: decent weather and a calmer feel at each port. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 27-night sailing is a strong place to start.
