Baltic States, Scandinavia and Russia and Norwegian Fjords including the North Cape
The longer 12 and 14 night sailings from the UK to the Baltic ports are perennial favourites with British cruisers. Offering tours which are rich in contrast, nearly all offer the highlight of two full days to explore the city of St Petersburg, Russia.
The best time for cheap deals to the Baltic is certainly early season - the first two sailings usually offer decent late cruise deals. To access the best late cruise deals you should be flexible and be prepared not to get your favoured dining option or perhaps the very best cabin locations.
A cruise to the Norwegian Fjords provides you with Europe's answer to the Alaska cruises. Here too the cheap cruise deals to the Fjords can be found early season and these can also be offered from the UK as a no fly cruise. Longer sailings to the Land of the Midnight Sun take place from June- August and usually combine the Fjords with the icy expanse of the Northern Cape in the Arctic Circle where the sun never sets in the height of summer.
