A cruise through the Baltic Sea allows you to visit both Scandinavia and the Baltic countries, which have enchanting Old Towns that date back to a time when medieval merchants traveled the region.
If you choose to visit big cosmopolitan cities, some of the world’s “most livable†are in Scandinavia. Norway will appeal to both nature devotees, with its breathtaking fjords, and history buffs, with its fascinating Viking history. Don’t forget Stockholm’s “Venice of Scandinaviaâ€Â, Helsinki’s collection of Art Nouveau and Neoclassical works, or Tallinn’s delicate steeples and vibrant red rooftops. Of course, anyone sailing through this region must make a point of seeing the northern lights display.
