Baltic Capital Cities – Copenhagen to Helsinki

About this cruise

This one leaves Copenhagen on August 4, 2026 and spends 9 nights visiting Oslo, Warnemünde (Rostock) and Gdynia (Gdansk), with additional stops along the Baltic at a pace where every day has something going on but there's always time to just sit and watch the water too. The trip wraps in Helsinki, so you won't retrace your steps. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. The Baltic route takes in Norway, Germany, Poland, Sweden, Latvia, Estonia and Finland, 7 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Most ports give you about 9 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Norwegian Sun keeps you well fed. 13 places to eat, with 5 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. The sweet spot for most travellers: you get to know the ship, see the ports, and come home before the laundry piles up. It's peak season, so the weather is at its best and the ship will be full. That's part of the fun. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 9-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
