Northern Meridian – Stockholm, Skjolden & Reykjavik

About this cruise

If you've got 17 nights to work with, this sailing from Helsinki on May 29, 2027 through Tallinn, Stockholm and Visby, with additional stops along the Baltic is genuinely one of the better ways to spend them. Last stop: Reykjavik. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. Crossing 6 borders through the Baltic: Estonia, Sweden, Poland, Denmark, Norway and Iceland. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Of the stops, Akureyri tends to be the one people talk about: The capital of North Iceland's endless summer. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Regal Princess takes the food seriously, with 12 restaurants to choose from. 6 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. The longer time on board means you'll catch several shows, themed nights, and start feeling like a regular at your favourite bar. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
