We have just completed a Baltic cruise on the queen victoria and had a wonderful time. I enjoyed the art classes and deck games while my husband enjoyed the lectures on sea days. The formal nights were great as was the food and the people we made friends with in the quizzes. The weather was very good and the ports of call all very good especially as we did ports we haven't visited before. These included Oslo, Klaipeda Lithuania, Visby Gotland Sweden, Tallin, overnight in St Petersburg and finally Gdansk Glynia Poland. A great cruise I would recommend it to anyone who wants to see some great Baltic countries.

The cruise took us to some places I had never heard of - Klaipeda and Visby, but both were beautiful. We were fortunate to have perfect weather throughout the cruise. We went mainly to go on the Queen Victoria, but all the stops were wonderful. Cunard service was superb as usual and the ship was magnificent. We can't wait to go on another Baltic cruise.
