Scandinavia Cruises
Sheer fjords and cascading waterfalls, design-forward Nordic capitals and the midnight sun — Scandinavia is one of cruising’s most spectacular regions, and we’ll match the right ship and itinerary to you.
A Scandinavia cruise gathers Northern Europe’s greatest scenery and cities into one voyage. Three themes dominate: the Norwegian Fjords, sailing deep into Geirangerfjord and the Nærøyfjord past waterfalls and cliffs, calling at Bergen, Ålesund and Flåm; the Baltic capitals, linking Copenhagen, Stockholm, Helsinki, Tallinn and Gdańsk with long days in port; and Iceland and the Nordic coast, with waterfalls, volcanoes and geothermal spas. The season runs May to September, with famously long daylight — and near-endless midnight-sun evenings above the Arctic Circle. Ships range from big resort vessels to refined, destination-focused lines. We match the route, ship, cabin and season to you — and get you the best cruise price free from a true cruise specialist.
Why cruise Scandinavia?
The Norwegian Fjords
Geirangerfjord, the Nærøyfjord and Hardanger — UNESCO scenery of cliffs, waterfalls and tiny villages, best seen slowly from the deck.
The Baltic capitals
Copenhagen, Stockholm, Helsinki and the medieval old town of Tallinn — design, history and long, easy days in port.
Midnight-sun summers
Long Nordic daylight (and midnight sun in the far north) means more time ashore and glowing evenings on deck.
Iceland & the Nordic coast
Waterfalls, black-sand coasts, volcanoes and geothermal spas — dramatic add-ons or full Iceland circumnavigations.
Fjords, Baltic or Iceland?
The Norwegian Fjords are the scenic showpiece — round-trip from Southampton, Amsterdam or Copenhagen, threading Geiranger and the Nærøyfjord with calls at Bergen, Flåm and Ålesund. The Baltic is the city cruise — Copenhagen, Stockholm, Helsinki, Tallinn and Gdańsk, usually 7–11 nights with late stays in port. Iceland pairs with Norway, the British Isles or Greenland for waterfalls, volcanoes and hot springs.
Timing matters: June and July have the longest days and warmest weather (and the midnight sun in the far north); May and September are quieter and better value. Tell us which scenery and cities you want, your dates and home airport, and we’ll match the sailing.
If your fjords cruise sails round-trip from the UK or the Netherlands, arrive a day early — see hotels near Southampton’s cruise terminals or where to stay in Amsterdam.

What’s the difference between a Norwegian Fjords and a Baltic cruise?
Fjords cruises focus on Norway’s dramatic scenery — Geirangerfjord, the Nærøyfjord, Bergen and Flåm — with lots of scenic sailing. Baltic cruises focus on cities — Copenhagen, Stockholm, Helsinki and Tallinn — with long days in port. Many travelers do one of each on different trips; we help you choose.
When is the best time to cruise Scandinavia?
The season runs May to September. June and July have the longest daylight and warmest weather (and midnight sun in the far north); May and September are quieter, cooler and better value. We’ll help you pick.
Where do Scandinavia cruises depart from?
Norwegian Fjords cruises often sail round-trip from Southampton, Amsterdam or Copenhagen; Baltic cruises typically from Copenhagen, Stockholm or Kiel; Iceland sailings from Reykjavík or the UK. We match your cruise to the easiest departure city.
Is St. Petersburg still on Baltic itineraries?
No — cruise lines suspended calls to Russia, so current Baltic itineraries replace St. Petersburg with extra time in Tallinn, Gdańsk, Riga, Visby or Stockholm. We confirm the exact ports on any sailing.
