From Linda Garrison, Your Guide to Cruises.
One of the best destinations for summertime cruising is northern Europe. The weather is good, the cities are fascinating, and ships can visit several diverse countries on a 7 to 14-day cruise.

Northen European Cruises in 2010
Northern Europe cruises include those to the Baltic, Scandinavia, Norwegian fjords, the British Isles, and islands of the northern Atlantic. Whatever the area is called -- it's a wonderful summer cruise destination! The hotel and dining costs can be very expensive in northern Europe, which makes a cruise tour of the area even more attractive.

St. Petersburg, Russia
St. Petersburg is one of the most memorable ports on cruises to northern Europe. Travelers have two cruise options for visiting St. Petersburg. They can either take a northern European cruise of the Baltic Sea, or they can take a Russian waterways cruise between St. Petersburg and Moscow.

Helsinki, Finland
Like many of the Baltic capitals, Helsinki is on the coast and cruise ships can dock very near the city center. Helsinki is a marvelous town to explore on foot or on a bus.

Things to Do with a Day in Copenhagen
Copenhagen, Denmark is the largest city in Scandinavia, with lots to see and do for everyone. Copenhagen is also a very popular port of call or embarkation point for cruise ships, with a very nice pier area at Langelinie, only about 1.5 miles from the city center.
