Gilded Meridian Drift – Seville, Oslo & Tallinn

About this cruise

Every port gets the time it deserves and the sea days in between are half the fun. This 29-night sailing leaves Southampton on April 30, 2027 and visits Cádiz, Barcelona and Toulon, with additional stops along the Baltic. The sailing ends in Helsinki. The sea days come first, which means no rushing to get off the ship on day one. You hit the ports relaxed and ready. The route threads through 12 countries along the Baltic coast: Spain, France, Italy, Belgium, Netherlands, Norway, Denmark, Germany, Poland, Sweden, Estonia and Finland. People come back from this cruise talking about Bornholm: Denmark's sunshine island of smoked herring. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Regal Princess has 12 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. 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. Southampton itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And April is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. 20 ports, 12 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
