Second Leg – London to Finland + more
The second part of the cruise starts in Southampton, England and will take us to Denmark, Germany, Finland, Estonia, Sweden, Norway, and back to England.
We can only imagine the sights along the North and Baltic seas from the ship decks or our room balcony.
In addition to all the restaurant and entertainment options, a walking track, spa, and a fitness center provide good opportunities for exercise.
Both cruise legs offer several shore excursions. We will show you our adventures by way of photo galleries upon our return.
