Amber & Hanseatic Spire – Riga, Tallinn & Stockholm

About this cruise

Every port gets the time it deserves and the sea days in between are half the fun. This 21-night sailing leaves Southampton on April 29, 2028 and visits Zeebrugge, Amsterdam and Kristiansand, with additional stops along the Baltic. The sailing ends in Copenhagen. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 16 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. 10 countries (Belgium, Netherlands, Norway, Denmark, Germany, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Finland and Sweden) across the Baltic, each with its own character. People come back from this cruise talking about Bornholm: Denmark's sunshine island of smoked herring. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. You won't go hungry on Caribbean Princess. 7 restaurants come with the fare, plus 6 more when you feel like treating yourself. With more nights comes more time for the ship's rhythm to kick in: morning coffee in the same spot, evening shows, late-night conversations on deck. And April is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. 16 ports, 10 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
