Cobalt Passage – Gdansk, Helsinki & Oslo

About this cruise

You come back from a trip like this actually rested, not just "I went on vacation" rested. 12 nights from Copenhagen on August 7, 2026, visiting 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. The Baltic route takes in Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Finland, Sweden, Norway and Denmark, 8 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Of the stops, Nynashamn tends to be the one people talk about: Stockholm's quiet gateway to the archipelago. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. 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. With more nights comes more time for the ship's rhythm to kick in: morning coffee in the same spot, evening shows, late-night conversations on deck. If you've done the short cruises and want more, this is the upgrade. Longer, deeper, and more relaxed. If you can, add a night in Copenhagen before boarding. It's a good city to wander. And August means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
