EMBARKATION/DISEMBARKATION
We picked this cruise for the itinerary and we were not disappointed. The cities were amazing. Getting on and off in each port was easy and smooth (except for St. Petersburg, which involved a long, slow process).
Clean. Slightly larger than inside rooms on other ships.
Explored on our own. Three days at the beginning and one at the end. Stayed at an airbnb. Bought the 48 hour Copenhagen Card and used public transportation so we saw a lot of sites in our initial 48 hours in Copenhagen for about $89 USD. We planned ahead of time and mapped everything out to take in as many things as possible using the card. It was great.
Beautiful city. Easy to explore on foot. Lots of ships in port the day we were there so the old town area was quite crowded.
Probably our least favorite port, but an interesting city. We explored by foot and had a wonderful time. Visit the Botanical Gardens!
