Creator's Key Takeaways

I've been on a lot of cruise itineraries. The Caribbean, Mediterranean, Norwegian Fjords just recently, a couple of weeks ago, but I want to talk to you today about one that I think might be the most underrated, under booked, and underappreciated itineraries out there right now.

The sun rises before 4:00 a.m. and it barely sets. Last night, I was standing on this balcony at 11:00 p.m. and the sky was still this deep glowing blue.

An overnight port changes everything. You're not watching the allboard clock. You're not doing the math on whether you have enough time.

The people in this part of the world are just different to be around and I mean that in the most genuine way.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Check the weather the morning of each port and have plan A and plan B.
βœ“Use hop-on hop-off buses for flexibility, especially on late-night port days.
βœ“Buy handmade crafts from local artisans instead of mass-produced souvenirs.
βœ“Study the port schedule as much as the destination when choosing an itinerary.

Sleep schedule disruption due to long daylight hours. β€” Use blackout curtains in your cabin to help your body adjust.

I'm on my balcony in Stockholm right now, and the sun hasn't really set in days. This is the Baltic itinerary everyone scrolls past, and I think that's a huge mistake. Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Estonia, Germany: 5 countries, 8 ports, an overnight stay, and the kind of light you've never experienced on a cruise before. Hi everyone, I'm Laura and welcome to Living on Cruise Control, where just over a year ago I left the corporate grind to pursue my dream of living full-time on cruise ships. 🎁 Mentioned in this video πŸ‘— The dress I'm wearing: https://www.amazon.com/shop/livingoncruisecontrol πŸ’Œ Want to see behind the scenes content?
