We are on board the Saga Sapphire, a 750 person cruise ship on a Baltics Treasures Cruise.
Having left a very hot Dover yesterday we are at present in a very overcast and damp North Sea heading for the Kiel Canal. Once through the Canal we then stop at Gdansk, Stockholm, Helsinki, St Petersburg, Tallin, Riga, Saaramaa and finally Wismer in Germany before sailing back to Southampton.
We are enjoying life aboard this luxurious vessel, with an endless supply of absolutely delicious food. Our wastelines may expand over the 16 days we are afloat but we have both swum today and Jenny has done her 6 laps of the promenade deck (1 mile), as well as the ship's tour and using the stairs rather than taking the lift whenever possible.
One extra passenger!
On the transit for the sea lock at the entrance of the Canal and we dock in Gdansk early Thursday morning.
