Northern Europe Cruise Questions

Norway or the Baltic?
Norwegian fjord itineraries are scenery-driven with small towns and dramatic cruising. Baltic itineraries are city-driven, with long port days in capitals and more walking.
How much daylight is there?
Midsummer sailings above the Arctic Circle have nearly round-the-clock light, which is spectacular but can make sleeping harder.
