Booking a summer 2019 cruise on Regal Princess from Copenhagen, Scandinavia and Russia. Which side of the ship for best viewing? Port or Starboard?

We found no difference.

Best is to book two cabins. One on each side.

It doesn't matter. There are several locations where you will want to be on a high deck for seeing both sides.

Great to watch ship leaving Sweden. Lots of islands on both sides so we went from side to side repeatedly.

If you look at the map of your route, you can decide. Like if you are travelling from St. Pete to Germany, the land side will be to port and if there is anything to see, would therefore be on port side. That was my thinking when I booked my stateroom. And when going north from Copenhagen, again, most land is on port side. Otherwise in ports or bays, I don't think it makes any difference.

Most of the interesting things as you approach St Petersburg are on the port side, but on the starboard side sailing out...so really doesn't matter. Some ships do a little narrative sailing out.

 

But, in the big picture, being top deck is generally more important than one side or the other.

Can't argue with that.

Views are everywhere! :D

Does not really matter.
