AUGUST 5. 2026: BALTIC AND NORTH SEAS, HERE WE COME--SAPPHIRE PRINCESS!

Erie, Pennsylvania
July 23, 2026

Our next adventure begins in just 15 days! We are certainly looking forward to another cruise--all 27 days!  We hope to see the solar eclipse in Estonia-always dependent on where one is and the weather! 

Following is the ship's itinerary. Neither Tim nor I have visited Northern Europe! We have been researching weather, tours, sites to see, souvenirs, and food for months.  I have started packing, but we both have a ways to go.

We will step into the 13th Century, with town walls, cobblestone lanes, and cafes next to ruins. We can do a culinary deep-dive into various foods and we will even spend some time among the Vikings of old. History abounds, including early humans, invasions, wars, and the protection of culture.

Come with us on this adventure as we explore the possiblilities!
