Getaway Day!
The About Cruises Guide and the About Fishing Guide Cruise Northern Europe
August 14, 2001 was the day the About Fishing Guide and I left the U.S. for our 30th wedding anniversary cruise vacation trip to Scandinavia and the Baltic Capitals. We flew overnight to London. There we met up with some of our fellow Renaissance R6 cruisers and be transferred to Dover via bus.
We flew first to Washington, D.C. (Dulles Airport) and then to Heathrow. Many of our fellow cruisers went through JFK Airport in New York where they flew on a charter directly to Dover. We sailed at 5:00 pm the next day from Dover.
If you would like to follow the Garrisons and the R6 around Scandinavia, check out the table below for links to each day's itinerary. You can also follow my postings to the About Cruises Forum. Articles detailing our cruise are listed below.
