Savings begin aboard the Andrea’s July 1 voyage from St. Petersburg to Helsinki taking in the beautiful Norwegian Fjords and the historically rich capitals of the Baltic region. Other specially priced sailings introduce cruisers to the “lands of the midnight sun” where daylight extends well past midnight; and present the romance of the warm Mediterranean Sea and spectacular Dalmatian Coast.

The intimate size of the ships, the friendly staff and cozy onboard ambiance provide a welcoming environment for anyone traveling alone.

Current special sailings, reflecting 10 to 20 percent off brochure rates, with single supplements waived, based on availability.
