With their quintessentially Scandinavian feel, the Nordic countries of Norway, Sweden and Denmark are true representatives of the natural beauty that this part of the world is famous for. From quaint fishing villages and unique architecture to mysterious waterways, the cities of Copenhagen and Stockholm take you on an inspirational journey of discovery. Taste some fresh fish in Helsinki, a local beer in Stockholm or feast on some fresh bread from the local markets in Oslo, and indulge in a Baltic culinary adventure.

However, with Scandinavian countries becoming more and more popular thanks to dedicated Norwegian Fjords cruises, Baltic cruises also take you to some less travelled destinations. With itineraries including ports of call such as Tallinn in Estonia, Riga in Latvia and Gdansk in Poland, a cruise around the Baltic sea will take you to some of northern Europe's hidden gems.

Weather on Baltic cruises

Cruises to the Baltics are famous for their awe-inspiring views that burst with colour and change dramatically with the seasons. From the radiant forests that come to life in Autumn to the crisp frostiness of the winter, the weather of this area has a strong influence on when to visit.

With Baltic cruises tending to run from April until September, the temperatures at the beginning and end of this season can be quite chilly, so make sure you pack layers. However, summer is much warmer, with pleasant, sunny days throughout June, July and August.
