Cartographer's Long Haul – Baltic, British Isles & Nova Scotia

About this cruise

If you've got 27 nights to work with, this sailing from Copenhagen on August 7, 2026 through Gdynia (Gdansk), Klaipeda and Riga, with additional stops along the Baltic is genuinely one of the better ways to spend them. The sailing ends in Boston. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. The Baltic route takes in Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada and United States, 12 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. People come back from this cruise talking about Belfast: Titanic's birthplace, reborn and thriving. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Sapphire Princess keeps you well fed. 14 places to eat, with 7 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. The longer time on board means you'll catch several shows, themed nights, and start feeling like a regular at your favourite bar. This one's for people who really want to switch off. No half measures. Block out the calendar. If you can, add a night in Copenhagen before boarding. It's a good city to wander. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. 17 ports, 12 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
