[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've booked a Baltic Cruise for my husband and myself for May 2026.  Round trip from Copenhagen, visiting Oslo, Stockholm, Helsinki, Tallinn, Riga, Klaipeda, and Gdansk.  I'm really excited and wanted to read some "cruise reports" by others who have been on a similar cruise - but all the reports I can find had an itinerary that includes Saint Petersburg.

Saint Petersburg is no longer included in Baltic Sea cruises.

Can anyone either tell me where I can find more recent "trip reports" than I'm finding on Trip Advisor and similar websites, or tell me about their own fairly recent visits to these locations so I have things to research?  Yes, just getting off the ship and wandering is an option, but I like to know a little about what is nearby so I don't miss something really awesome that was two blocks away from where I was.  All of the recent "trip reports" seem to be video reports on TikTok or you tube or something, and I'm too old for those to hold my attention.  I want/need something written.[/quote]

OP:  I think we have the same itinerary (on Princess) --only in June.  I haven't really dug into the details because it's so far away, but there is a site called "What's in Port?" that might answer some of your questions. Eventually it'll have the docking place for each cruise ship, which is important as to whether it's an industrial area or Old Town-adjacent.  I'll also keep my eyes open for updated trip reports.   There are a few stops like Gdansk where we'll probably take a tour because the port is a different city, but many of these places are either walkable --albeit lots of cobblestones-- to the Old Town areas or there is a shuttle available. I don't necessarily want an organized excursion that takes us away from the city, but we'll see.  Except for Copenhagen (embarkation part), Oslo, and Stockholm, they are all new to us, so we might be happy just wandering. [/quote]
