Arrive: Fri 24 July 2026 / Depart: Fri 24 July 2026

Gda?sk (Danzig in German) is a port city on the Baltic coast of Poland. At the center of its Main Town, reconstructed after WWII, are the colorful facades of Long Market, now home to shops and restaurants.

Day 6 - Saaremaa Island

Arrive: Sun 26 July 2026 / Depart: Sun 26 July 2026

Located in the centre of the Baltic Sea, Estonia's largest island revels in its isolation. The territory has been inhabited for over 8,000 years, but stone-walled house with their thatched roofs give this island a unique character. Amongst the numerous sights are Angla Windmill Hill; Mustjala cliff; the 17th century Bell Tower at Kihelkonna; the manor house at Loona; the ruins of Maasi Castle; and the Mihkli Fram Museum at Viki.

Day 7 - Riga

Arrive: Mon 27 July 2026 / Depart: Mon 27 July 2026

Now triumphantly reasserting its proud Baltic heritage after the return of Latvia's independence, this ancient Hanseatic river-port is the largest city of the Baltic States and a striking showcase for the country's rich culture. At its heart lies the now masterfully restored Old Riga, with its cobbled pedestrian streets, the towers and spires of medieval churches and venerable facades of gabled 17th century German merchants' homes.

Day 8 - At Sea

Day 9 - Copenhagen, Denmark

Arrive: Wed 29 July 2026 / Depart: Wed 29 July 2026

With its vibrant atmosphere, modern culture and beautiful architecture, Copenhagen is the essence of Scandinavian cool. One of Europe's oldest and most popular cities, Copenhagen is also one of the cleanest and most cosmopolitan. Its narrow streets are always busy with welcoming locals and are lined with colourful cafes, bars, shops and places to eat. Its bridges ring with cycling commuters and the pristine waterways make visiting this city a wonderful experience. The historic centre of Denmark’s capital, an 18th-century rococo district, is home to the Royal Family’s Amalienborg Palace, Christiansborg Palace and Rosenborg Castle, surrounded by beautiful gardens and is the home of the Danish crown jewels. The Little Mermaid sculpture at Langelinje Pier is a must-visit attraction too. Take a wander through pretty Nyhavn – Copenhagen’s 17th century waterfront and canal district – and you'll revel postcard-perfect scenes of historic wooden ships set to a backdrop of brightly coloured 17th and 18th century townhouses, many of which have been converted into bars and restaurants.

Balmoral From Fred Olsen Cruise Lines

Balmoral is named after the Scottish residence of the British Royal Family, and the Scottish theme runs throughout the main dining venues – the Ballindalloch, Avon and Spey – where guests can enjoy tantalising menus prepared by our expert chefs. Featuring 710 well-appointed rooms and suites and a selection of comfortable lounges, bars and inviting public areas, Balmoral provides guests with ample space in which to relax and share a memorable cruise experience with hundreds, not thousands, of fellow travellers. And, as our guests have come to expect, there is always an array of superb entertainment on offer throughout the day, from lectures and hobby classes to live cabaret and comedians, ensuring you can make the most of your time on board. Balmoral is small enough to navigate size-restricted waterways such as the Kiel Canal, providing fantastic scenic cruising opportunities, and retains the warm, intimate and friendly atmosphere that the Fred. Olsen fleet is renowned for.
