Hey all.
My parents and I have decided to go on a 12-day cruise to Russia and Scandinavia.
As this is going to be a cruise, the only hotel recommendations I need would be something in London for one or two nights at the end of the cruise. The ship leaves out of Harwich, England. We are planning on flying from Orlando into London, immediately taking the train from London to Harwich, spending the night in Harwich and boarding the cruise ship the next day. Then we will spend a couple of days in London at the end of the cruise before flying home.
I am also asking for some recommendations on must-see things in Copenhagen, Stockholm, Helsinki, Tallinn, and Gothenburg, Sweden. We were planning on just walking around in those cities or doing a museum or something instead of taking a shore excursion in each one. That gets kind of expensive.
The cruise ship stops in St. Petersburg, Russia for two full days, but we have already chosen a shore excursion(this one (http://www.shoreexcursionsgroup.com/Private-Two-Day-Best-of-St-Petersburg-p/euspdentwoday.htm)) that uses both days.
Here (http://www.royalcaribbean.com/findacruise/cruiseDetails/itinerary.do;jsessionid=0000LylrqbANjuPjTz8bf1Lfv4 R:12hdhu6tq?hasSenior=&hasMilitary=&hasFireandPolice=&cruiseType=CO&state=&packageCode=JW12U065&date=201104) is the cruise we are booked on.
Thanks in advance for any recommendations or other wisdom.
