Baltic Cruise - August 2012 on Oceania

August 9 - 21, 2012 on Marina. Not counting glimpses of Iceland and a few hours in Stockholm (sigh - beautiful city), we visited 9 ports in 8 countries, with 5 different currencies, 3 different time zones, and numerous languages. It was a fantastic cruise on a wonderful cruise line. If you like photography, you will LOVE the Baltic! Pictures are by Ruth AND Howard. Hit the "All" button below to display all.

Comments welcome. 2nd album has yet more pics - I just couldn't stop taking pictures in this beautiful part of Europe!

I'm just getting around to looking at all your photos. Amazing photography! Interesting buildings, lots of color, and beautiful scenery. Looks like an awesome trip. If Stan ever finishes culling our Alaska pics, I'll post them. I am enjoying the explanations that you put on Facebook.
