Cobblestone Spires – Tallinn, Riga & Copenhagen
About this cruise
There's a reason 8-night cruises are the most popular length. This one sails from Helsinki on July 16, 2027 and visits Tallinn, Riga, Klaipeda, Nynashamn, Warnemünde (Rostock) and Copenhagen. You wind up in Copenhagen, so it's worth planning a night or two there. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. The route threads through 6 countries along the Baltic coast: Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Sweden, Germany and Denmark. You get around 10 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, There are 13 restaurants on Norwegian Jewel, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 8 nights. A July departure puts you in the best summer conditions: long days, warm nights, plenty of sun. Hard to ask for much more than that, honestly.
