The “shoulder” season – a couple of weeks before and after the peak is often ideal. There will also be European cruise lines sailing this area. Cruising Northern Europe is a shorter season, usually mid May to mid/late September.
Call your travel agent, or, if you don’t have one, one stop by and pick up some brochures about Finland and Northern Europe cruises at a travel agency near your work or home. By using a travel agent, they’ll check group space and may get you a lower rate if they can “place” your cruise with a large group. You may also get extra amenities this way – shipboard credit, a cocktail party, free photos, etc. Always ask for something extra, a travel agent might be able to get you some shipboard credit, or another amenity at no additional cost.
