Nordic Slate – Stockholm, Tallinn & Bergen
About this cruise
This is the kind of cruise where you actually have time to go back to a port highlight you missed the first time. 14 nights from Kiel on December 9, 2027, visiting Stockholm, Tallinn and Helsinki, with additional stops along the Northern Europe & Scandinavia. The sailing ends in Bremerhaven. 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 Northern Europe & Scandinavia route takes in Sweden, Estonia, Finland, Norway and Germany, 5 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. You get around 11 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Mein Schiff 2 keeps you well fed. 11 places to eat, with 8 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. Longer sailings have a different energy. People relax into it, stop rushing, and start actually talking to each other. Suits retirees, remote workers, or anyone who doesn't need to be anywhere else for a while. While everyone else deals with the December cold, you'll be somewhere warmer. And floating. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 14-night sailing is a strong place to start.
