Cruise to Estonia

Located on the Baltic Sea, Estonia is bordered by Finland, Latvia and Russia and is something of a treat for those on a Baltic cruise.

One of the lesser-known Baltic cruise destinations, Estonia has much to offer the cruise visitor with a deep cultural heritage, diverse landscapes and a rich tradition of folklore.

As one of the most under-populated countries in Europe (just 1.3 million inhabitants), holiday makers can look forward to un-crowded, architecturally diverse cities, beautiful wooded regions, (50% of the country is forest), clear lakes and stunning, un-spoilt scenery. And, if that isn't enough the Estonians are a hospitable lot and seem genuinely pleased and proud that you're visiting their country.

Estonia is dotted with fairytale palaces and grand houses a legacy of the Scandinavian kings and Soviet rulers that used to govern the country.

There is no better place to experience quintessential Estonia than with a trip to Tallinn, the port of call for your MSC cruise ship. The cruise terminal is located in Tallinn harbour so you can head straight to the heart of this beautiful medieval city and UNESCO World Heritage Site.
