Baltic Grand Tour – Helsinki to Copenhagen

About this cruise

A week or so at sea, a few great ports, and nothing to organise once you're on board. This 9-night sailing from Helsinki on August 16, 2027 visits Tallinn, Nynashamn and Riga, with additional stops along the Baltic. The sailing ends in Copenhagen. 8 consecutive port days with no time at sea. It's an explore-everything kind of trip. The Baltic route takes in Estonia, Sweden, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Denmark and Germany, 7 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. People come back from this cruise talking about Gdynia (Gdansk): Poland's amber coast on the Baltic. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Norwegian Jewel keeps you well fed. 13 places to eat, with 6 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. Long enough that you stop checking your phone. Short enough that you're not bored. If you can, add a night in Helsinki before boarding. It's a good city to wander. And August means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. 8 ports, 7 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
