Northern Europe & Baltic Routes New for SeaDream in 2011

For those of us who cruise often, word about any new itinerary is always cause for excitement. Last week SeaDream Yacht Club announced new routes for 2011 that will take the line to the Atlantic coast of France, Spain, and Portugal as well as to Scandanavia and the Baltics.

SeaDream I will call upon England, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Estonia, Russia, Germany, France, Holland, Spain, and Portugal from May through August 2011.

Why are these routes exciting? Well, it's the first time the yacht has called upon ports like London. You'll be able to transit the Kiel Canal or visit small villages in Bordeaux, Brittany, and Hamburg.

Among new ports of call for these 2011 itineraries are:

• Stockholm and Marstand, Sweden
• Helsinki, Finland
• Oslo, Stavanger, Lillesand, and Bergen Norway
• Tallin and Kuressaare, Estonia
• St. Petersburg, Russia
• Hamburg, Germany
• Amsterdam, Holland
• Honfleur, St. Malo, Belle Ile, La Rochelle, and Bordeaux, France
