Scandinavian Cruises - Where To Go
Once you’ve decided that you want to take a Scandinavian cruise the next step is to determine which destinations to see on your voyage. The amount of time you have available to you, your vacation budget, and of course your personal interests will all play a role in determining which ports of call you wind up visiting.
If you have a limited time frame then one of the popular Costa cruises might be up your alley. This 6 day Northern Europe tour will take you to such historic ports of call as Kiel, Germany and Geiranger in Norway. You can enjoy incredible luxury and amenities as you make this Baltic Sea voyage.
If your timeline is even shorter, or funds are tight then you can opt for Royal Caribbean’s 4 night cruise tour of the Scandinavian capitals. Obviously this sort of vacation would coincide with other travel in Europe, as it makes little sense to come halfway around the world for the sake of a 4 day cruise. You’d barely have overcome your jet lag before you had to turn around and go back home again.
If your Scandinavian cruise is the centerpiece of your European vacation then you should definitely opt for a voyage of 10 days or more. This will give you adequate time to relax and see the sights of Finland, Norway, Sweden, Iceland and Germany at your leisure.
If you are in the region anyways and just want a sample of what a Baltic cruise can be like there are day trips available that are as short as 3 hours long. You can take a short romantic dinner cruise on the Norwegian fjord or a full day trip with Viator Tours, who offer a spectacular journey around the Southern coast of Iceland, and along the way you will visit the breathtaking Skogarfoss Waterfall, and the immense Oraefajokull Glacier. If you have been considering cruise travel then this is a nice little introduction to help you decide if you’d enjoy a longer voyage.
As you can see Scandinavian cruises can be tailored to fit every traveler’s ideal vacation and budget, and though the Baltic Sea doesn’t get as much press as the more famous Mediterranean it is just as breathtaking and I promise you won’t be disappointed if you choose this beautiful part of the world for your cruise vacation.
