Sanborns' Baltic Sea Links

When you are cruising, your options for exploring are sometimes limited simply because you may be in port for just a few hours. What I did though was as we visited each port, I also looked to see how accessible the people, country, and traveling independently would be and so found some links for you to look at if you want to go on your own.

The Holland America Cruise Line really can't be beat If you are interested in going as we did. Great food, nice cabin, and a great way to travel.
Copenhagen is one of the most accessible cities in Europe to visit. Start with Denmark's Official Web site.
