The Italian cruise line has historically focused on the major cities of the Baltic Sea and is currently the cruise company with the most experience and offerings in this destination.
From May to August, the Costa Luminosa will sail a one-week itinerary departing from and returning to Stockholm, with stops in Helsinki, St. 
Petersburg, and Tallinn. The cruise price includes round-trip direct flights and port taxes for added convenience.
Passengers will enjoy more time in Stockholm and St. Petersburg, as the ship makes overnight stays in these cities, allowing them to experience them more fully and explore them at a more leisurely pace.
Costa Cruises, Europe's number 1 cruise company and the only Italian-flagged cruise line, presented its extensive Baltic Capitals itinerary together with Stockholm Tourism and VisitSweden at an event for travel agencies held yesterday at the Moritz brewery in Barcelona.
Northern Europe, and specifically the Baltic capitals, is one of the most popular holiday destinations for Spaniards, and cruises offer a comprehensive way to visit these locations. Costa Cruises has historically been the most experienced cruise line on these itineraries and currently boasts the largest fleet of ships sailing the northernmost waters of the continent.
“The Baltic Capitals are among the most stunning destinations in the world, and at Costa, we have always been strongly committed to tourism in this region,” explained Giorgio Costa, Trade Marketing Director for Costa Cruises in Spain. “That’s why we are proud to be here today with Stockholm Tourism and VisitSweden to present the magnificent holiday offerings of this region and introduce them to our best partners, the travel agents,” he concluded.
Explore the major Baltic capitals with the Ship of Light in ultimate comfort.
The impressive Costa Luminosa offers a very attractive itinerary this summer season for those wishing to discover the main cities along the Baltic Sea coast. Throughout the summer, the Ship of Light will have weekly departures from Stockholm, easily accessible from Madrid, Barcelona, Malaga, and Alicante via flights organized by Costa from these Spanish cities to the port of embarkation.
This route, 'Great Baltic Cities', departing from and arriving in Stockholm, includes stops in Helsinki (Finland), St. Petersburg (Russia) and Tallinn (Estonia) and is particularly striking for spending the night in two of the best destinations, on the one hand in the incredible city of Stockholm, with its canals and dreamlike architecture and on the other in the emblematic St. Petersburg, with the residence of Peter the Great or the Catherine Palace among the places to visit on land.
“The 36 hours that passengers will spend in Stockholm will surely allow them to explore and enjoy the fourteen islands on which the Scandinavian capital is located, its medieval old town, some of its more than 80 museums, its nature right in the heart of the city, and Swedish gastronomy and design. We are delighted and eagerly awaiting the arrival of the Costa Luminosa,” stated Johan Cavallini, director of VisitSweden's offices in Spain and Italy.
