Baltic Cruises offer an unbelievable occasion to tour the magnificent cities of St. Petersburg, Oslo, Stockholm, Helsinki and so many more. There is something dreamlike about most European cities. They seem to be trapped in the space of time between past and modernity. Their extremely well preserved historical monuments lull the visitors slowly onto the reassuring folds of history only to be awakened by the frenzy of their cosmopolitan lifestyle.
St. Petersburg
Often referred to as the "jewel in the Baltic crown", St. Petersburg's long tryst with history has led to a rich fruition in the form of magnificent monuments. Whether it is the mesmerizing Church of the Savior on spilled blood or the renowned Hermitage Gallery, every monument here seems to evidence the richness of its history. The city remains a favorite of travelers on Baltic Cruises.
Oslo
Best known for its Frogner Park which houses the Vigeland Sculptures. These are extremely realistic figures of men sculptured skillfully in granite. There are excellent facilities also for skiing.

Stockholm
Every year the city's Blue House rolls out the red carpet for the illustrious Nobel Laureates, the magnificence of the architecture doing equal justice to the enormousness of the occasion.
The city's cobbled street is also lined with rows of antique shops and expensive designer boutiques.
Helsinki
Whether it is the magnificence of Carl Engel's architecture in Senate Square or the multi fragrant colors of the flower markets, the memories of your visit to Helsinki will remain with you like Post cards from heaven.
Baltic Sea Cruises are operative only between the months of May and August, since cold weather prevents any such expeditions during the rest of the month.
One could go on talking endlessly with the loquacity of a lover praising his beloved, yet the beauty of Baltic Cruises will remain elusive; always escaping the illusionary confinement of words.
