The Baltics & Northern Europe Edit
Northern stars – discover Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, and more
Fairytale cities, café-lined canals, lively waterfronts, and dramatic coastlines – Northern Europe is a pure delight. The warm, golden evenings stretch out invitingly – in some places, the sun doesn’t set at all – while days bring cultural treasures old and new, innovative cuisine to try, and plenty of outdoor adventures amid some of the world’s most beautiful scenery.
The Baltic region’s rich history and culture are among the highlights of this eight-night cruise, some of which takes place in the ethereal light of the midnight sun. We start with an overnight in the island city of Stockholm, where a walking tour of the Swedish capital’s art offers a modern twist, then continue to Helsinki to see sights including its famous church built in solid rock. Onwards to Tallinn, the enchanting medieval capital in Estonia, and Visby on the Swedish island of Gotland, recognized by UNESCO for preserving the fabric of a medieval town, including defensive walls and towers. Latvia’s Riga, with its Art Nouveau architecture, is next, followed by a sea day to the seaside resort of Warnemünde, Germany, before disembarking in Copenhagen.
Set off on a memorable seven-night roundtrip from Copenhagen in the esteemed company of Chef Nobu, who chose Crystal for his only restaurant at sea back in 2003 – a venue that is a guest favorite to this day. Also helping us to celebrate our 35th anniversary will be past Captains Egil Giske and Gulleik Svalastog, former Cruise Director Gary Hunter, Broadway actress Rachel York, and entertainer James Fox, so expect plenty of razzle-dazzle onboard. Onshore, meanwhile, our voyage introduces us to the vast sand dunes of Skagen, Denmark, the colorful wooden houses of Kristiansand, Norway, the Michelin-starred restaurants of Gothenburg, Sweden, and the Viking heritage of Oslo, before we return to the Danish capital.
