We chose this cruise as as our first ever because of its itinerary and price. The Baltic capitals trip was very enjoyable, well organised and delivered everything it promised. My wife and I simply walked around each stopping point (with the exception of St Petersburg) .... regular buses were provided and transfers from boat to city were smooth and painless. The St Petersburg excursion (Peterhof Palace and Hermitage Museum - 9 hours with lunch included) was great but exhausting... more a criticism of our fitness than of the itinerary!

The all-inclusive package was great. Food was well cooked and varied; drinks were easily available and very good. The service was simply excellent... Tui have certainly got their recruitment procedures right). A wide variety of activities were also available and easy to find out about and sign up for.

Our holiday bonus was the "Passion for Dance" programme run by the wonderful Amy and Roland. These young dancers were brilliant teachers, unbelievable performers and simply wonderful, positive people. They taught a daily lesson (we now know 10 dances.... starting from zero!) and hosted a twice-nightly social dance in the "Atrium". In the second week we had to move into the "Venue" to accommodate the growing number of learner and experienced dancers. We smiled and laughed through every session... it was lovely.We would happily adopt Amy and Roland! Read more
