The destination guide

The Baltic Sea is a Northern European yacht region with archipelagos, historic cities, islands, long summer days and strong cultural cruising appeal.

Baltic Sea is included as a preliminary Superyacht Guide destination because it has cultural, strategic, marina, cruising, regatta, passage-making or shore-extension relevance for yacht itineraries. These destinations are not all conventional Mediterranean-style superyacht resorts, but they can add strong value to Northern European, Atlantic, North Sea or Baltic cruising routes.

For owners and guests, Baltic Sea can form part of a wider itinerary involving historic harbours, city culture, regattas, islands, castles, galleries, seafood, shipbuilding heritage, coastal towns, river approaches, archipelagos or summer cruising grounds. Its current Destination Star rating is deliberately capped pending full editorial assessment.
