There are two main routes on European cruises. You can take the colder Northern route, which is the Baltic Sea, The Norwegian fjords, the Artic Circle and the British Isles, or you can take the warmer southern route, which is the Mediterranean course.

The Baltic Sea Region has become one of the world's most popular and fastest growing cruise destinations. There are now more than 65 different cruise ships in the Baltic Sea from May to September. A Baltic cruise gives you the oportunity to visit up to 10 countries:Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Russia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and Germany .

Baltic Sea cruises offer an unbelievable occasion to tour the magnificent cities of Copenhagen, Oslo, Stockholm, Helsinki, St. Petersburg and many other cities in the region. Many cruise ships will depart from Copenhagen, but also the other mentioned cities are the place of departure for some cruises.

The season for Baltic Sea cruises is from May to September, and although this is summer in the region it can still feel pretty cold, especially when at sea, so make sure you also bring some warm clothes with you for the cruise.
