Cobblestone and Amber – Riga, Tallinn & Helsinki

About this cruise

You sail from Copenhagen on June 23, 2028 and spend 7 nights visiting Aarhus, Kiel and Bornholm, with additional stops along the Baltic. It's a well-tested route and there's a reason people keep booking it. You wind up in Helsinki, so it's worth planning a night or two there. Every single day is a port day. 7 stops with no sea days in between. You're busy from start to finish. Crossing 6 borders through the Baltic: Denmark, Germany, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Finland. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Most ports give you about 10 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Caribbean Princess takes the food seriously, with 13 restaurants to choose from. 7 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Copenhagen has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. It's peak season, so the weather is at its best and the ship will be full. That's part of the fun. Hard to ask for much more than that, honestly.
