jpohio Posted July 30, 2016 #1 Share Posted July 30, 2016 We are considering a cruise to the Baltic next summer and after some research have narrowed the choices to Regent, Silver Sea and Seabourn - possibly Oceania. The Regent cruise will be on their newest ship, Explorer, which has only been active for a month or so - thus hard to get any number of reviews. The itineraries offered by each line are essentially the same, so I think the choice will come down to cost, excursions offered and quality of service/food/rooms on the ship. Any insights will be appreciated! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would nix Oceania because we didn't have a good experience and they were unreceptive to legitimate complaints (and we are not complainers). Haven't been on Reent, but from what I have read and heard from fellow CC members, it is not as "all inclusive"as it appears as you have to wait to book shore excursions, etc. Since we don't like larger groups, Regent has no appeal for us. I would choose (if price is no object ) between Silversea and Seabourn. I think either one will give you a good experience based on what CC member that I "know" (or trust?) have said.
