We spotted this passing by a travel agent. We were attracted to the ports of call and we're not disappointed.

Straight off the coach and onto the ship in 10 minutes , no waiting at all. Disembarkation was equally as smooth although we had to wait for nearly an hour for some other passengers.

We had a restricted view cabin which was fine as we weren't in the cabin that long.The cabin did need a bit of sprucing up but that did not detract from the overall holiday. We tried all the dining options and were not too keen on the Belvedere. We were on freedom dining and had no problem getting into the MDR each evening as we didn't mind sharing. I loved both Sinhdu and Ocean Grill and I went to the lunchtime grill by the pool a couple of times. I didn't get the chance to try the afternoon tea , just didn't have time. We only had 2 sea days in the Baltic , 5 altogether ,so the best part of the cruise for me was getting off !

Port Reviews

Copenhagen

Very little time in Lund or Malmo. Would go over to Malmo on the train from Copenhagen rather than do the trip.

Stockholm

Like Stockholm but have been before. Did our own tour of the Royal Palace in central Stockholm.

Tallinn

Very busy but plenty to see and do. Would like to return.

Helsinki

Difficult to score as Helsinki was closed as it was midsummer's day so we did a boat trip.
