Cruise & Maritime Voyages (CMV) still has cruises available to the Baltic Cities & St Petersburg and to the Norwegian fjords this summer.

Magellan will sail from London Tilbury for 12 nights to the Baltic Cities and St Petersburg with fares from £599pp on July 15 and from £749pp on August 15.

Later on August 27 depart to the Norwegian fjords for 7 nights from £549pp.

On the two departures for the Baltic Cities & St Petersburg cruises, Magellan will call at Copenhagen, Warnemünde (Germany) for the chance to visit Berlin, Tallinn (Estonia), staying overnight in St Petersburg before continuing to Helsinki (Finland) and Nynashamn (Sweden) for Stockholm and returning to London Tilbury

The added value of the CMV optional excursions in St Petersburg for ‘War & Peace’ fans is the group visa which means passengers avoid the usually expensive single visa if travelling ashore alone.

A shorter summer holiday alternative to the Baltic Cities and St Petersburg is Magellan’s Majestic Fjordland sailing from London Tilbury on the August Bank Holiday weekend August 27 for 7 nights. Taking in some of the most stunning Norwegian fjords Magellan will call at Bergen, Molde, Åndalsnes, Geiranger and Eidfjord before returning to London Tilbury with fares from £549pp.
