Including a Kashrut Supervisor during the cruise.
Sailing in a beautiful, unique area, combining recreation and fun along with fascinating tours in the Baltic countries.
Have you ever heard of the youngest sea in the world? A beloved sea born just recently? Well, more precisely, in … the last ice age, something like 10,000 years back … young? “Relatively young,” the experts tell us, adding that thanks to this creation, another fascinating area has been created on our planet.

The Baltic Sea, this youngster, covers an area of 420,000 square meters and is dotted with no less than 100,000 islands (!). Nine countries surround it, and we will visit them and the main cities of seven of the nine: Sweden, Finland, Russia, Estonia, Norway and Denmark, while sailing in the Baltic Sea. The super cruise that we at Shai Bar-Ilan have planned for you, begins in Copenhagen and gives us an exciting entrance to the Baltic Sea, where we will discover the magnificent landscapes of northern Europe. This is a beautiful initial meeting with Northern Europe, which is possible only by cruise ship.
In order to maximize all these delights, we chose to reach the Baltic Sea in the middle of the summer, when the long days enable us to enjoy more, not only by observing the scenery that embellishes our journey, but also by touring the amazing cities in which we’ll drop anchor, and by walking through their charming cities.
Sailing on the Baltic Sea is not a normal cruise. This cruise provides us with a wealth of cultural sites, historical cities and enjoyment in European countries that are not usually on the routine tours. On our tours, we will learn of interesting geography, and the uniqueness of each of the cities, as well as about significant and fascinating historical periods. All on our 5-star cruise on the luxury Regal Princess.
