For instance, P&O Cruises and Princess Cruises offer the best family vacations, but Crystal Cruises has better luxury Scandinavian cruises for the older traveler. You'll want to look for cruises that offer over-nights in bustling cities like St. Petersburg, Russia, so you can experience all the city has to offer.
Many travelers choose Baltic cruises because of its close proximity to the UK and major airports. While many Brits like to take the sunny southern Atlantic cruises, there are many treasures to be discovered right in their own backyard!
For Americans visiting Europe, what better way to explore the major port cities than to cruise in style? St. Petersburg is the most prized stop for many, with the Hermitage Museum, the Griboyedov Canal, magnificent cathedrals like Kazan and Peter & Paul, palaces fit for a tsar, the Alexandrine Theatre and much more. Of course, Russia is just one stop on a Baltic cruise, which also includes Poland, Denmark, Estonia, Germany, Norway, Sweden and Finland.
Baltic cruises vary greatly not only in itinerary but also in price. While the Greek Isles cruises and the Mediterranean cruises increase in price during the summer months, the Baltic trips start at $1,299 per person. There really is no guarantee for good weather on a trip to Eastern European waters. It could be hot and hot sunny, it could rain or it could be breezy and cool, so you'll have to pack accordingly.
One advantage is that most people speak English in the countries you'll visit, with the exception of Russia. Some of the top-rated cruise ships to consider for Baltic cruises include Celebrity "Century," Royal Caribbean's "Jewel of the Seas," Azamara's "Journey," Cunard's "Queen Victoria" and Royal Caribbean's "Independence of the Seas."
