J209 Arcadia Baltic Cruise Itinerary: Southampton – Brussels/Bruges (Zeebrugge) – Copenhagen – Tallinn – St Petersburg – Helsinki – Stockholm – Oslo – Southampton

One P&O Cruises cruise that is selling out fast is the J209 Arcadia Baltic Cruise on the 17 July 2012. This is one of a number of 14 night cruises from Southampton; this one visits 8 ports across 7 countries as it shows off how great Baltic Cruises can be.

From Southampton, P&O Arcadia heads to the Belgium port of Zeebrugge where shore excursions are bookable to either Brussels or Bruges as well as other tourist destinations. From Zeebrugge the cruise heads to wonderful, wonderful Copenhagen!

Copenhagen has a plethora of things to do including checking up on Viking history to tours around the city. Vastly different to Copenhagen is former Medieval capital city of Tallinn; now a major port/city in Estonia. More antiquated findings can be had in the next port of call; St Petersburg.

St Petersburg has had a remarkable history and has buildings to match; what is so great about the Arcadia J209 cruise is the night alongside which gives almost two days to explore. Whether it be a visit to the Ballet or the Palaces of Catherine and Peterhof, whatever you do in this city will be a highlight.

Helsinki, in Finland is often called the pocket sized metropolis; it is the capital of the country and offers tourists opportunities to explore both ancient and modern. Helsinki is surrounded by an archipelago of islands, maybe these might tempt during your day there.

From Finland to Sweden and Stockholm in particular as the cruise continues around the Baltic Sea; next on its list of historic cities is the Norwegian city of Oslo; here a quick cruise to a nearby Fjord may be to your liking? Whatever you do, make the most of it as the ships will soon be heading back to Southampton for disembarkation.
