She’s ideal for couples, with venues like The Sanctuary and private dining options, but Royal Princess is also perfect for teens, with everything from video game stations and a big movie area to a cool DJ booth to keep families entertained.

Destination Spotlight
The Fascinating Baltic
Officially Britain’s second favourite cruise destination. A Baltic cruise is one of real contrasts, between cosmopolitan city life and high culture; modern art and shopping and medieval history and architecture. Awakening Poland and Germany offer up the rich past of their sea ports, whilst contemporary Finland, Sweden and Denmark have arts and entertainment, museums and shopping to rival anywhere in the world.
Bridging East & West Europe The Baltic is well served by major cruise lines, amongst them P&O Cruises, Royal Caribbean, Fred. Olsen and Norwegian Cruise Line, and there are regional departures on offer. Typical itineraries would offer shore excursions in western ports such as Copenhagen, Stockholm and Helsinki, and of course Hamburg and Kiel in Germany. Weather during the higher season is generally temperate and pleasant, but during the winter warm clothes are a must, especially in the evenings.

STAR BUY! Amongst the favourite eastern ports are Tallinn in Estonia and Riga in Latvia - former Soviet cities with an intriguing, sometimes violent history.Today, their growing skylines a mixture of ancient and modern – tell the story of their rapid development and popularity with visitors. For most cruise guests, though, a clutch of Baltic cruise ports combined with the still regal magnificence of Russia’s St Petersburg forms the perfect itinerary. The grand old lady perches on the Gulf of Finland - still a seaport of major significance and hailed worldwide as the ‘Venice of the North’.

The original capital of Tsarist Russia – St Petersburg also offers a mixture of old and new. Spectacular architecture, built on a network of canals, speaks of a rich history. Imposing Nevsky Prospekt, its best-known street, reeks of real wealth mixed with gentile poverty. Its plethora of department stores jostle with lots of market traders serving up flowers, local food, traditional Russian matrioshka dolls and all sorts of bric-a-brac.The city’s world-famous Hermitage Museum is home to more than 3 million exhibits, including art by Rembrandt, Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci. Your Baltic cruise and visit to St Petersburg will be all the more memorable, with the friendly advice and dependable expertise of our professional Cruise Concierge.
