18 Night Europe - Northern Cruise

Finland's design-forward capital welcomes cruise ships to a port near the Market Square and the iconic Helsinki Cathedral. The city is known for its Art Nouveau architecture, contemporary design district, and the historic Suomenlinna sea fortress accessible by ferry.

Tallinn's remarkably well-preserved medieval Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with cobblestone streets, Gothic spires, and the Toompea Castle all walkable from the cruise port. The city offers excellent craft markets, medieval restaurants, and Baltic charm.

Stockholm is Sweden's capital and the largest city in Scandinavia, built across 14 islands where Lake Malaren meets the Baltic Sea. The approach by cruise ship through the Stockholm Archipelago, a chain of roughly 30,000 islands stretching 80 kilometers east of the city, is consistently rated one of the most scenic port arrivals in Europe.

Copenhagen cruise port is the main cruise gateway to Scandinavia and one of the most important embarkation ports for Baltic and Norwegian fjord itineraries. The city has three cruise terminals.

Norway's third-largest city, and its original capital. Trondheim sits on a peninsula in the Trondheim Fjord, founded in 997 AD by Viking King Olav Tryggvason.

Bergen cruise port is Norway's largest and the main gateway to the Norwegian fjords. The city sits on the country's western coast, surrounded by seven mountains and a network of deep, narrow fjords carved out by glaciers over thousands of years.
