Hard to tell from the cell phone pic, but this escalator goes down 100 meters to the station floor

Here are some shots of Riga, Latvia. We loved Riga. A very nice place to wander around. Great food too.

Following your thread with great interest and thanks. We are doing B2B on the Serenade in August of 2019. My husbands accuses me that I take of picture of everything. ;)

 

What kind of camera are you using?

I use a Canon 7ti, with either a 10mm-18mm, 18mm-135mm, or 100mm-400mm lens most of the time.

Some photos of Tallinn, Estonia. Another great port to just wander around in. Very easy to walk to, and we were lucky in that our ship got to dock right next to the Old Town, apparently for the first time in quite some time. Please understand that "right next" to the town, is still roughly a 15 minute walk as just getting out of the port is still a bit of a walk. MUCH better than docking miles away though.

Some boats, because, well, who doesn't like boats?

Thank you for the report and photos. We are taking a Baltic cruise on Celebrity next summer with a similar itinerary, except leaving from Amsterdam. 12 days. Looking forward to it even more after reading this! How was the weather?

thanks. I am doing B2B on Serenade in couple of weeks. First to Norway and then back out again to SPB, Stockholm, Tallinn, and Helsinki.

 

I love and am excited for Tallinn. Only doing one day in SPB and I booked the Hermitage.

What was your favorite thing in Russia and Finland

Did you have to have a pin number to use your credit card (not debit) but regular card anywhere.

Fantastic review and beautiful photos. My husband and I are looking at this cruise itinerary for 2019. Your review has convinced me.

 

Thank you
