Destination Highlights of your Baltic Cruise
You will discover fantastic sights on the many shore excursions on offer on a Baltic cruise. With a range of countries to visit, each one offers visitors a glimpse into its unique culture and history.
Copenhagen, Denmark, is a popular destination for shore excursions as the city has a wealth of fantastic architectural treasures to explore, with many buildings boasting royal connections. Major Copenhagen attractions include the Little Mermaid Statue, Christiansborg Palace, home to the Danish Royal Family until the late 18th Century, Amalienborg Palace, the home of Queen Margrethe II, and Rosenborg Castle, built by King Christian IV in the 17th Century and the home of the Danish Crown Jewels.
As your Baltic cruise passes through Latvia, discover a rich variety of historical and cultural attractions in Latvian capital city, Riga and explore the oldest parts of the city. Highlights of shore excursions here include Riga Castle, the official residence of Latvia’s President which dates back to the 14th Century, and the Dome Cathedral. The cathedral features a variety of architectural styles that reflect changing cultural influences throughout the city’s history and houses an elaborate organ that is comprised of more than 6,000 pipes.
Another city that should not be missed on a cruise of the Baltic is St. Petersburg, Russia. St Petersburg is one of the most fascinating cities in the world. Its rich and turbulent history can be discovered through exploring its architecture and museums, best seen on foot on a day excursion from the cruise ship. One of the most imposing sights in St. Petersburg is St. Isaac’s Cathedral, with a gold-covered dome that is amongst the largest in the world. Another must-see building in St. Petersburg is the city’s Hermitage Museum. The museum houses many historical treasures and provides an insight into St. Petersburg’s past. A number of monuments in the city mark momentous historical figures and events, including the monument to Nicholas I and the Bronze Horseman statue which is a tribute to the city’s founder, Peter the Great.
With such a variety of other cities and cultures to explore on a Baltic cruise, including Helsinki, Berge, Stockholm, and Oslo, visitors are treated to a journey into the past as well as the chance to shop, dine, and be entertained in the more contemporary parts of the cities.
