As we had spent two months on the Cruise and Maritime flag ship M/V Magellan from middle of December 2015 to middle of February 2016, I was rather concerned how the Marco polo cruise to the Baltic would go.
The Magellan was rather awful, and therefore we decided to go for only a 12 night cruise of the Baltic Sea , with ports of call at Aalborg, Warnemunde ( for an excursion to Berlin ), Tallin, St Petersburg, Helsinki, and Stockholm before returning via the Kiel canal to Tilbury port.It must be stated that we had done this on the M/V Blackwatch about three and a half years earlier.
Embarkation was excellent, and I would class the inside cabin as compact. However, the cabin was on deck 5 and right at the very back, and the engine sound together with the propeller sound was loud, and although we got slightly use to it , it must be said that of the five cruises we have done, this was by far the loudest and lot's of vibration to go with it.
Cabin Review
Cabin Standard Inner
Cabin was compact, and functional, it had a reasonable amount of cupboards and drawers, but as expected only one chair and that was often in the way, as room was restricted.
Port Reviews
Tallinn
A shuttle bus was arranged to near the old town, and then a walk of about three hours around that area,. This part of Tallin is having a lot of work done on it, such as the cobbled streets, and is a wonderful place to stroll around, as not that many people there on the Saturday afternoon we visited, although far more than we were last there when it was at the end on November.2012.
