Amber Merchant's Loop – Riga, Tallinn & Visby

About this cruise

If you've got 12 nights to work with, this sailing from Copenhagen on July 26, 2026 through Skagen, Oslo and Gdynia (Gdansk), with additional stops along the Baltic is genuinely one of the better ways to spend them. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. It's a proper Baltic tour: 8 countries, from Denmark to Sweden. Don't rush through Nynashamn, which is known as Stockholm's quiet gateway to the archipelago. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Sapphire Princess has 14 dining spots on board, most of them included. There are enough performances, events, and social mixers on a cruise this length that you couldn't do them all if you tried. And that's a good problem. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. All told, 9 ports across 12 nights covers a lot.
