Golden Havens – Copenhagen, Gdańsk & Riga

About this cruise

6 nights, 6 ports, all from Oslo on August 20, 2027. The route visits Copenhagen, Warnemünde (Rostock), Gdynia (Gdansk), Klaipeda, Riga and Stockholm and the whole thing just flows. The trip wraps in Stockholm, so you won't retrace your steps. There's a new port every day, so you'll do your relaxing on board in the evenings rather than during dedicated sea days. Crossing 6 borders through the Baltic: Denmark, Germany, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia and Sweden. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. You get around 9 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, MSC Magnifica takes the food seriously, with 4 restaurants to choose from. 3 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. Oslo has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. An August departure puts you in the best summer conditions: long days, warm nights, plenty of sun. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 6-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
