Northern Realms - Baltics & Scandinavia
We’re on our way north—come bask in the beauty of the Baltics! From Denmark to Sweden and everywhere in between, this trip will lead you through secret tunnels, into towers and turrets, and behind the scenes in some of the world’s most fascinating towns. Make your way through medieval ruins in Visby and take a kayak down a calm Lithuanian river in Klaipėda.
Tour Tallinn’s underground passageways as you learn about its historic past, then spend two days in Russia. Whether you seek art architecture, or music, St. Petersburg has something for everyone. Before ending in Stockholm, cruise into Helsinki, the white city of the north, where you can peruse an open-air market for the perfect present to pack in your suitcase.

Visa Requirements
Guests who purchase their shore excursions or sponsored overland programs through Oceania Cruises are covered by a blanket visa for the duration of the tour. The blanket visa does not cover any independent travel in Russia outside of the shore excursion and overland programs. Guests must remain with the tour group at all times and will not be able to remain ashore once the excursion or overland program has been completed. There are no additional requirements or applications that guests will need to provide.
As a reminder, Oceania Cruises does not provide visa support letters for independent visa applications. Guests who wish to explore Russia on their own must obtain Russian visas in advance of their cruise departure. It is the guest’s sole responsibility to comply with the necessary visa requirements and ensure a blanket Russian visa is included with any independently arranged shore tours. Guests without visas will not be allowed to disembark as per Russian government restrictions.
The Russian Federation grants one-time entry and double-entry tourist visas. One-time entry visas allow guests to cross the Russian state border once. The passport control zone (or gangway) at the cruise terminal is considered the Russian state border for cruise ship guests. Once a guest goes ashore and returns to the ship, it is considered one entry and the one-time visa is closed and invalid. Guests holding double-entry visas are able to go ashore a second time. The Russian Federation also offers the option of a three year multiple-entry visa to U.S. nationals.
