Nordic Runes & Volcanic Sagas – Reykjavik, Edinburgh & Stockholm

About this cruise

Block out 26 nights from May 13, 2028 and let this sailing from Helsinki do its thing. The route covers Tallinn, Stockholm and Visby, with additional stops along the Baltic and there's plenty of room to breathe between each stop. Disembarkation is in Southampton. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 20 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. 8 countries (Estonia, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Norway, Iceland, Faroe Islands and United Kingdom) across the Baltic, each with its own character. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Aarhus, Denmark's youthful second city of smiles. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. You won't go hungry on Caribbean Princess. 7 restaurants come with the fare, plus 6 more when you feel like treating yourself. 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. And May is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
