Aug 1, Baltic cruise on Caribbean Princess
 

Any suggestions for excursions? What about tours other than with the cruiseline?

Did the Baltic cruise last year on Celebrity. We used ALLA tours in St. Petersburg and Berlin. They were great to deal with and very professional in all aspects. To be fair, there are a number of companies that receive excellent reviews on Trip Advisor, including ALLA and SPB.
It's a great cruise; we enjoyed all the different countries, white nights etc. Hope you do too.

What ports are you visiting?
We loved our two days with Red October in St Petersburg.

thanks Giro, saw a lot of positive comments for alla tours too.
Abram, we will be visiting Brussels, Stockholm, Helsinki, Copenhagen, St Petersburg, Tallinn in Estonia, and Gdansk in Poland

Stockholm: Vasa Museum, walking tour of Gamla Stan, with stops in museums & churches
Helsinki: Tram 3 as an overview, market, Rock Church, Lutheran Cathedral, City Museum, Russian Orthodox Church
Copengahen: harbor cruise, Tivoli Gardens, art museum, history museum, Holocaust Museum
Tallinn: walking tour of old city

Abram, are those places we can visit on our own easily?

Copenhagen, visit Nyhaven area.

The places Abram suggested are easily self doable.

You can take a cab to the VASA which may be very close to the dock depending on which dock your ship uses. behind the VASA is a water taxi which takes you to Gamla Stan. Very easy.

Your dock in Tallinn drops you right at the old town

Those are all things we did on our own.

Good to know, thanks
