Ocean Discovery – Helsinki, Tallinn & Nynashamn

About this cruise

Clear the calendar from October 7, 2028. This one's 11 nights from Helsinki, and the route visits Tallinn, Nynashamn and Klaipeda, with additional stops along the Baltic. By the time you're a week in, you'll have completely stopped checking your phone. You wind up in Southampton, so it's worth planning a night or two there. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. 9 countries (Estonia, Sweden, Lithuania, Germany, Denmark, Netherlands, Belgium, France and United Kingdom) across the Baltic, each with its own character. You get around 10 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, You won't go hungry on Norwegian Getaway. 7 restaurants come with the fare, plus 11 more when you feel like treating yourself. One of the underrated parts of a longer cruise: you actually get to know people. The couple from dinner, the group at trivia, the bartender who remembers your drink. An October sailing dodges the peak crowds while the weather is still cooperating. Well timed. Hard to ask for much more than that, honestly.
