Cobalt Baltic Loop – Gdansk, Helsinki & Oslo

About this cruise

Every port gets the time it deserves and the sea days in between are half the fun. This 12-night sailing leaves Copenhagen on May 15, 2026 and visits Gdynia (Gdansk), Klaipeda and Riga, with additional stops along the Baltic. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 9 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. Crossing 8 borders through the Baltic: Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Finland, Sweden, Norway and Denmark. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Of the stops, Gdynia (Gdansk) tends to be the one people talk about: Poland's amber coast on the Baltic. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Sapphire Princess takes the food seriously, with 14 restaurants to choose from. 7 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. The shows alone are worth the extra nights. You'll catch comedy, music, theatre, and themed evenings you'd miss on a shorter trip. If you've done the short cruises and want more, this is the upgrade. Longer, deeper, and more relaxed. And May is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
