thecruisechick Posted July 12, 2004 #1 Share Posted July 12, 2004 I was reading through the many Baltic threads and saw a post about a good travel book, but now I can't find the thread. Does anyone remember the thread or even the travel book that was posted? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canyousayvacation Posted July 12, 2004 #2 Share Posted July 12, 2004 I think you are probably looking for Rick Steves' "Scandinavia 2004". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane110 Posted July 12, 2004 #3 Share Posted July 12, 2004 I don't know what book was posted on the thread, but I think that Rick Steve's Scandinavia 2004 is the best book out there for those on a Baltic Cruise. Jane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travelingmcmahans Posted July 12, 2004 #4 Share Posted July 12, 2004 His book is good, but there is zero information on arriving by cruise ship, so you'll have to supplement it with info online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaTraveler Posted July 12, 2004 #5 Share Posted July 12, 2004 I bought an excellent one called "Cruise Guide to Europe." It lists each port individually and then talks specifically about how to do things on your own from a cruise ship. It also lists the specialties of each port regarding food, drink, and crafts.

canyousayvacation Posted July 13, 2004 #6 Share Posted July 13, 2004 I have the 'Cruise Guide' also, but it only gives a little bit of information on a lot of ports all over Europe. I think the Rick Steves' is better for us for this particular cruise since we are doing all the ports (except St. Petersburg) on our own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nny92825100 Posted July 13, 2004 #7 Share Posted July 13, 2004 Also check out airfare planet guide books. A good guide is to read IMOORE review of the Grandeur of the Seas on their trip last year. She goes into depth about trams, busses, walking, sites, and books they used. Note the review says Mexican Rivera but it really is the Baltic. All RCI Baltic reviews are labled Mexican Rivera. One thing that seems to be missing from all the threads is how fantastic Tallinn is. Save money and energy for this hidden gem before the world discovers how facinating and beautiful this city is. Old town is a must, and Olde Hansa is a resteraunt that is not to be missed. It is a block up from the main gate to old town. A lot of souvineers are cheaper in Tallinn than St. Petersburg and certainally cheaper than all the other Scandanavian places. Knit items were especially good priced.
