The Scandinavian & Russian Cruise Experience
Cruise from Southampton and venture into the atmospheric lands of Scandinavia. Call at some of the major ports across the region to sample local flavours and marvel at some of the world’s most incredible natural architecture. Culture both old and new will keep you captivated – from the fairytale streets of Bruges to the Nobel Prize banquet-hosting City Hall of Stockholm.
Denmark’s Copenhagen is the centre of all things cultural, with the incredibly well-preserved medieval Town Hall Square of Tallinn, Estonia certainly worth a visit. And with Russia’s St Petersburg and the atmospheric city of Helsinki also on the itinerary of our Scandinavian cruises, whatever interests you, there will be plenty to discover. All the while, you will enjoy the first-class service, attention to detail and fresh, invigorating experiences that only a cruise from Celebrity Cruises can offer.
Spellbound in Scandinavia
You will make port at cool Copenhagen, where ancient Viking history is intertwined with innovative new development. Explore ships that date back to the 1880s and investigate the stunning state-of-the-art Bang & Olufsen factory.
In Helsinki, you can watch passers-by in the busy town square and absorb the unique ambience – sample reindeer salami and fresh berries, and browse wares from modern ceramics to one-of-a-kind jewellery.
In Stockholm, Sweden, you can take a tour to discover all the sights and sounds of this incredible city. Explore the City Hall in all its glory – from the grandeur of the Blue Hall and the Golden Chamber to beautiful views from the Garden. Then head to Old Town, where you can explore the Cathedral, the oldest church in the city and more.
Russia, Germany, Estonia and Belgium
Your Celebrity cruise will call at St Petersburg on the west coast of Russia, where you can disembark to discover a city steeped in rich history and tinged with military intrigue.
Our Scandinavian cruises also call at Tallinn and Berlin, where you can explore old and new with Estonia’s medieval architecture and the iconic Berlin Wall in the vibrant German city of the same name.
You will also stop in Belgium, where the charming city of Bruges awaits. In this most fashionable of European destinations, you will have the chance to sample a real Belgian waffle, take some photos of the magnificent cathedral and indulge in the most famous Belgian export – chocolate.
Disabled adapted cabins, accessible restaurants, show lounges and theatre’s, accessible sun decks, lifts throughout the ship, along with activities and shore excursions available to people varying levels of mobility all serve to make celebrity cruises suitable for disabled passengers.
