I feel your pain. In this post, I will tell you about the Scandinavian \/ Baltic sea Cruise I took that allowed me to see St. Petersburg, Helsinki, Stockholm and Tallinn just in 5 days.<\/p>\n<p>A few years ago, my 3 friends and I decided to go on a trip together in the middle of December and the Baltic sea cruise seemed like a great option. It was currently on sale because not many people wanted to travel in the middle of December when it was already cold there and besides, it was just before the Christmas holidays, so people were sparing vacation days to go somewhere on a Christmas break. Well, we all were at the university back them, so it wasn\u2019t a problem for us. In the end, we only had to skip 2,5 days of studying and that wasn\u2019t critical at all. We bought a cruise from&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/stpeterline.com\/en_US\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">St. Peter Line<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;and it was a great investment!<\/p>\n<h1><span id=\"i\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3388 \" src=\"http:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/IMG_4921-e1508763337329.jpg\" alt=\"Scandinavian \/ Baltic Cruise\" width=\"489\" height=\"362\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/IMG_4921-e1508763337329.jpg 800w, https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/IMG_4921-e1508763337329-768x568.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/IMG_4921-e1508763337329-440x326.jpg 440w, https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/IMG_4921-e1508763337329-585x433.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 489px) 100vw, 489px\" \/><\/span><\/h1>\n<h1><span id=\"What_to_expect_from_the_Baltic_Sea_cruise\">What to expect from the Baltic Sea cruise?<\/span><\/h1>\n<p>Since we all were based in St. Petersburg, Russia back then, our starting point was St. Petersburg. That cruise we took, Princess Anastasia, goes in circles pretty much non stop starting in St. Petersburg, continuing in Helsinki, then heading to Stockholm, Tallinn and then returning to St. Petersburg.<\/p>\n<p>So it works the same way if you, for example, depart from Stockholm, Sweden you will return to Stockholm, Sweden on the fifth day of the cruise.<br \/>\n<div class=\"mv-video-target mv-video-id-ajoobeuw6ycpnajr1vx7\" data-video-id=\"ajoobeuw6ycpnajr1vx7\" data-volume=\"70\"><\/div><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Day_1_St_Petersburg_Russia\">Day 1.

Helsinki, the capital of Finland<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Helsinki isn\u2019t a world-famous city because, to be honest, it\u2019s lovely and pretty, but there are not many landmarks worth visiting. I visited Helsinki 3 or 4 times and spent there 5-6 days in total.<\/p>\n<p>We only had about seven or eight hours in the city is and it was quite cold there, to be honest, around -10 or -15\u00b0 Celsius. Thus, it wasn\u2019t very pleasurable to walk outside at all. I\u2019ll write a separate the guide about a Helsinki, Finland in one of my next posts. I think that one day is slightly not enough for Helsinki, but spending two days there would be great! I also need to mention that Helsinki is very lovely decorated for Christmas and it also has a small Christmas market at the main square of the city in front of the famous cathedral you\u2019re probably seen all the postcards from Helsinki. The Christmas market surprised me in a sense that every single tiny booth had a card reader so it was possible to pay by card at the Christmas market in all these tiny stalls! And that just proves the fact that Finland is one of the most innovative and technologically advanced countries in the entire world.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3390 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/IMG_4959-1200x900.jpg\" alt=\"Helsinki for Christmas\" width=\"1170\" height=\"878\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/IMG_4959-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/IMG_4959-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/IMG_4959-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/IMG_4959-1170x878.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/IMG_4959-440x330.jpg 440w, https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/IMG_4959-585x439.jpg 585w, https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/IMG_4959.jpg 1733w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1170px) 100vw, 1170px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Actually, if you walk around the city, you will see that technology is everywhere in Finland. And that\u2019s awesome. Moreover, Finland is quite expensive. In case you want to eat outside in a restaurant, be prepared to spend 15-18 euros per dish and at least 6 euros for a glass of beer.<\/p>\n<p>After returning back on board from cold Helsinki, we went to explore the ship. I just admit that is was very impressive: around eight floors, multiple shops, restaurants and even a Karaoke bar! There was also a shisha lounge and a nightclub. So the ship is already pretty interesting by itself. The only problem &#8211; the internet on board was VERY expensive, so prepare to have an internet detox for a while.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Day_3_Stockholm_the_capital_of_Sweden\">Day 3. Stockholm, the capital of Sweden<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>On the next day, we disembarked the ship and went to discover the capital of Sweden, beautiful Stockholm. To be honest, I didn\u2019t have many expectations from Stockholm but I was surprised how beautiful the city is.. Actually, it looks a bit similar to St. Petersburg, Russia, my hometown, but it\u2019s way older and it\u2019s in Scandinavia, which means the culture and the values are completely different.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3392 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/DSC_4559-1200x795.jpg\" alt=\"Metro in Stockholm\" width=\"1170\" height=\"775\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/DSC_4559-1200x795.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/DSC_4559-800x530.jpg 800w, https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/DSC_4559-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/DSC_4559-1170x775.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/DSC_4559-440x291.jpg 440w, https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/DSC_4559-585x387.jpg 585w, https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/DSC_4559.jpg 1963w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1170px) 100vw, 1170px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We only had eight hours in Stockholm, just like in Helsinki however, unlike Helsinki I felt like eight hours were terribly not enough in Stockholm. You will probably need at least three days to discover the city because there\u2019s so much to do and so much to see! Moreover, the city is quite big, so you need to take the metro everywhere.<\/p>\n<p>I loved the Christmas Market in Sweden &#8211; it was absolutely adorable, however, it was also super crowded! I barely could walk there and because of so many people, all the photos looked terrible.<\/p>\n<p>Another highlight of Stockholm was the metro. Some say that the most beautiful metro in the world is in Russia, however, I would say that I was way more impressed by the metro in Sweden. Yes, it\u2019s not all made of marble and doesn\u2019t look like a hall of a lavish palace like in Russia, but it\u2019s very interesting and unique and every station has a unique idea behind it.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-3393\" src=\"http:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/DSC_4628-1200x795.jpg\" alt=\"Christmas Market in Stockholm\" width=\"1170\" height=\"775\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/DSC_4628-1200x795.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/DSC_4628-800x530.jpg 800w, https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/DSC_4628-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/DSC_4628-1170x775.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/DSC_4628-440x291.jpg 440w, https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/DSC_4628-585x387.jpg 585w, https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/DSC_4628.jpg 1963w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1170px) 100vw, 1170px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I must add that Stockholm is really expensive, even more expensive than Helsinki (that was already expensive especially if you don\u2019t like paying like \u20ac7 for a beer, but it still can\u2019t beat that Stockholm, where we were only able to eat a McDonald\u2019s as we were poor students back then). <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/tripsget.com\/2016\/05\/interchange-in-oslo-see-oslo-few-hours\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Nothing compared to Norway<\/a><\/strong>, of course, but still very expensive. I haven\u2019t even tried the famous Swedish meatballs anywhere in Sweden, to see if they are actually tastier than in IKEA, so it\u2019s a pity.<\/p>\n<p>I really want to come back to Stockholm and hopefully this November I will go there again to discover all the landmarks in the city.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Day_4_Tallinn_the_capital_of_Estonia\">Day 4. Tallinn, the capital of Estonia<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>On the fourth day of the cruise, we were about to explore the capital of Estonia a tiny medieval city called Tallinn. It was actually my first time in Tallinn, but since then I returned there three more times. Since the city is really small, I already feel like an expert there.<\/p>\n<p>Estonia is used to be a part of the Soviet Union. It means that even though it\u2019s a Baltic country, it\u2019s still different from Sweden and from Finland in the sense that half of the people speak Russian and the prices are way cheaper than in Finland or Sweden. A pasta in Vapiano would cost you 5-7 euros, for example. However, the restaurants in the Old Town like e.g. Olde Hansa are very expensive.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3395 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/DSC_4731-1200x795.jpg\" alt=\"Tallinn in winter\" width=\"1170\" height=\"775\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/DSC_4731-1200x795.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/DSC_4731-800x530.jpg 800w, https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/DSC_4731-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/DSC_4731-1170x775.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/DSC_4731-440x291.jpg 440w, https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/DSC_4731-585x387.jpg 585w, https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/DSC_4731.jpg 1963w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1170px) 100vw, 1170px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Tallinn looks amazing when the Christmas market is there. I also visited it in September and October, but nothing compares to Tallinn in December. The day I was there it was -17 and I was freezing! It was crazy to be all day outside, so I had to visit different shops from time to time to get warm again. In Tallinn, it\u2019s just nice to visit the old town, climb the city wall and have a traditional lunch in one of the restaurants in the city centre.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Summary_the_Baltic_Sea_Cruise\">Summary: the Baltic Sea Cruise<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>To summarise, the Baltic Sea cruise is a unique opportunity to explore 4 completely different countries at once: Russia, Finland, Sweden and Estonia. You won\u2019t see that much of all these countries, but it\u2019s enough to get an overall impression and decide, whether you want to come back to these locations or not. I didn\u2019t take many cruises in my life, so I have nothing to compare, but in my opinion, this cruise ship was amazing and had so many things to do, so it\u2019s definitely not boring.<\/p>\n<p>Looking for more information on this region? <a href=\"http:\/\/tripsget.com\/2016\/07\/eastern-european-trip-russia-belarus-lithuania-latvia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Check out our post about a mini-road trip around Belarus (no visa needed), Latvia and Lithuania!&nbsp;<\/a><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\"><br \/>\namzn_assoc_placement = \"adunit0\";<br \/>\namzn_assoc_search_bar = \"true\";<br \/>\namzn_assoc_tracking_id = \"tripsget-20\";<br \/>\namzn_assoc_search_bar_position = \"bottom\";<br \/>\namzn_assoc_ad_mode = \"search\";<br \/>\namzn_assoc_ad_type = \"smart\";<br \/>\namzn_assoc_marketplace = \"amazon\";<br \/>\namzn_assoc_region = \"US\";<br \/>\namzn_assoc_title = \"Scandinavia travel guides\";<br \/>\namzn_assoc_default_search_phrase = \"Scandinavia\";<br \/>\namzn_assoc_default_category = \"All\";<br \/>\namzn_assoc_linkid = \"d2b0401d7a6fc361b233e87221aa0d73\";<br \/>\n<\/script><br \/>\n<script src=\"\/\/z-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/onejs?MarketPlace=US\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Liked this post about the Scandinavian &#8211; Baltic sea cruise?
