Jewels of the Baltic - Northern Europe and Scandinavian Cruise

The About Fishing Guide and the About Cruises Guide celebrated their 30th anniversary in August 2001 with a wonderful cruise on the Renaissance R6. Check out our R6 itinerary below. Click on each port to follow us around Scandinavia and the Baltic Capitals. I also emailed postcards to the About Cruises Forum while we were sailing. Over the next few weeks and months, I'll be writing detailed articles on each of the ports of call. I made over 500 photos, and the best of them will be added to the site along with the articles. Come cruise vicariously with us!

Although Renaissance is no longer sailing, many other cruise lines offer itineraries similar to this one. The articles and photos should help you plan your cruise to northern Europe.
