We were on the Marina in the Baltic summer of 2016. We went from Copenhagen to Stockholm and had 3 days in St. Petersburg. I had chosen the cruise because they had more time there. Friends recommended SPB-Tours

https://www.spb-tours.com. And they were great. We had 3 days with the same dozen or so people from our ship and the same guide and driver. There were more groups from the Marina that did the SPB tour also. We got in early to the busy sights and really saw a lot. Lunch was included. And it was much cheaper than taking an Oceania tour each of the 3 days.

We had 4 Oceania tours. We opted to not take one in Tallin because we were told it was very walkable. There was a bus from the docks to the tourist center of town.

We had upgraded to a PH and really enjoyed it. Nothing to complain about either the ship or the cruise.

We are going on Sirena from Rio to Miami in April and realize everything is smaller there.

Have a great time!

Travelberlin,

Thank you so much for your report of the Sirena cruise. It was a wonderful report and the pictures did really add to it.

We are taking Sirena from Rio to Miami in April and chose it specifically because it is going up the Amazon to Manaus. We have signed up for 4 ship land tours, one independent one and have the other ports with no plans at this time. So your stories of the various ports was very interesting/useful for us.

We have traveled on Oceania (Marina) before so feel we know what to expect. We have 6 days at sea and 2 days cruising on the Amazon. My husband is worried he will be bored... other cruises we have taken were shorter.

Again,

Thank you.
