Grand Baltic Voyages – Copenhagen to Helsinki

About this cruise

A week or so at sea, a few great ports, and nothing to organise once you're on board. This 9-night sailing from Copenhagen on August 25, 2027 visits Oslo, Warnemünde (Rostock) and Gdynia (Gdansk), with additional stops along the Baltic. You get off in Helsinki, which is a good excuse to tack on a few days on land. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 8 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. The Baltic route takes in Norway, Germany, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Sweden, Estonia and Finland, 8 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Don't rush through Nynashamn, which is known as Stockholm's quiet gateway to the archipelago. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Norwegian Jewel keeps you well fed. 13 places to eat, with 6 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. Long enough that you stop checking your phone. Short enough that you're not bored. 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. All told, 8 ports across 9 nights covers a lot.
