All of our previous long cruises have been basically in the southern hemisphere (since those type cruises always are scheduled in the winter). This has resulted in a large area of the world we have yet to visit in northern Europe. This cruise, at one month, is not as long as our others, but it nicely fills in gaps in the list of places we want to see – Scandinavia, Germany, Russia, Scotland and Ireland. The trip ends with a crossing to Boston & New York.
Tina is joining us for the second half of the cruise (on our second calling at Copenhagen), so she will get to experience her first trans-Atlantic crossing.
