Spectacular 5-Country Scandinavian Cruise on Costa's Atlantica
Discover Scandinavia by Sea
Explore the captivating lands of Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Estonia, and Russia with a remarkable cruise on Costa's Atlantica. As Europe's top cruise line, Costa offers an enchanting journey where you only need to unpack once. Experience the luxury and comfort of the Costa Atlantica, a ship brimming with endless amenities to ensure your comfort.
A Luxurious Floating Palace
Having sailed on numerous cruise lines, I can confidently say that Costa Atlantica stands out as a masterpiece. This magnificent vessel, hosting over 2,200 passengers and 920 crew members, is a floating tribute to art deco with elegant marble floors and valuable original artworks. Contrary to my usual habit of avoiding cruise food, I indulged in a delightful menu filled with fresh and diverse Italian-inspired dishes, crafted by renowned Euro-chefs and graduates of the prestigious Chaine des Rotisseurs.
A Journey of Bonding and Bliss
Our group of 60 travelers formed strong friendships during private AFS shore excursions and onboard festivities. We were fortunate to enjoy the best weather the Baltic region had to offer, with daily temperatures of 68 degrees and no rain?"dubbed the best of the summer by the First Officer.
Cultural and Historical Experiences
Our voyage covered 1,987 nautical miles, offering cultural lessons at every stop. We marveled at the sights in Copenhagen, Denmark, with its iconic Little Mermaid statue, and Stockholm, Sweden, the stunning archipelago known as the Venice of the North. Helsinki, Finland greeted us with its friendly and pristine atmosphere. In Grand St. Petersburg, Russia, we embarked on an intense tour of the Hermitage, majestic palaces, diverse onion-domed churches, scenic canals, and even enjoyed an evening ballet. Our last port of call was Tallinn, Estonia, where the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the walled Old Town felt like stepping into a fairytale.
Entertainment and Extravaganza at Sea
There was never a dull moment during our days at sea, featuring three pools, numerous shops, a bustling casino, a luxurious spa, and engaging contests with the crew. The two-story gym was state-of-the-art, so much so that operating the equipment was a challenge. The midnight buffets were spectacular, adorned with intricate ice sculptures and creations like a bread house and a piano crafted from white chocolate.
Souvenirs and Memories
As we packed our souvenirs, from Fabergé eggs to Russian nesting dolls, Swedish crystal, Finnish glassware, Nordic pewter, lingonberry jams, amber jewelry, hand-knit sweaters, and countless T-shirts, we cherished the fun in bargaining. Although some items like fur hats might end up in a garage sale someday, the memories will last forever.
We sampled a taste of this five-country feast and left completely satisfied. As I bid farewell to this unique corner of the world, I reflect on another journey well done. Bon Voyage!
