cruise tips you can trust
These Baltic ports didn't make my selective Top 5 Baltic port list, but have special qualities that attract visitors.
Listing is alphabetical.
Aarhus (right photo)
Denmark
Den Gamle By. It's an open-air museum with reconstructed old Danish buildings with traditional furnishings (right photo).
Gdynia
Poland
Ship museum
tours. Best two ships: A World War II destroyer and a 1909
three-masted frigate.
Kristiansand
Norway
The seaport's waterfront in the Fiskebrygga (fish market area). Offers a good photo opportunity.
Mariehamn
Finland
Four-masted windjammer museum tour. Ship launched in 1903 and sailed as far as Australia.
Oslo
Norway
Museum hopping. Stars include Viking Ship, Kon-Tiki, Munch, Polar Ship, and National Gallery.
Riga
Latvia
Old Town. For a memorable bird's eye view of this tight-packed area, take the elevator in St Peter's Basilica.
Ronne
Denmark
The Bornholm heritage museum and the Erichsen house & garden museum are worthy venues in this laid-back island town.
Rostock
Germany
For many cruisers, it's the daytrip shore-excursion gateway to Berlin (several hours away by road or rail).
Visby (left photo)
Sweden
The Old Town is camera-friendly and is surrounded by a tower-perched Medieval defensive wall.
