Next, Black Watch heads for Warnemünde, the perfect base from which to
explore Berlin and Rostock. After stopping at Saaremaa Island, Estonia’s largest
island, the cruise continues to Tallinn, where the city’s spires, cobbled
streets, castles and medieval and baroque architecture give it a real
‘fairytale’ feel. St. Petersburg is a highlight of any cruise, and guests
can enjoy an overnight stop to take in the many sights, such
as the Hermitage, Catherine's Palace and the impressive Peterhof grand palaces
and fountains. After stopping at Karlskrona in Sweden, Black Watch
reaches her final port, the Danish capital, Copenhagen, before returning to Newcastle. Prices start from £767pp.

& Towns of Norway’ cruise
The first port of call is
Ålesund, renowned for its Art Nouveau architecture, surrounding fjords and
towering peaks of the Sunnmøre Alps. The next stop is Olden, from where guests
can visit the mighty Briksdal Glacier, before Black Watch heads for
Skjolden and Flåm. The latter is a historic town bursting with natural
attractions, from coastal landscape to steep mountains and crashing waterfalls. The final stop is Bergen, with
its historic wharf, famous fish market and surrounding fjords and mountains,
ideal for exploring Hardangerfjord, Lysøen Island and Ulriken Mountain. Prices start from £632 per
person.

Islands Cruise
This cruise calls first at
charming La Coruna, whose streets and squares house many medieval churches,

of the Canary Islands, La Palma, which also displays the characteristic
lunar-like landscape associated with this volcanic archipelago. Santa Cruz, the
island’s capital, is famous for its wooden balconies, cobbled streets, ancient
buildings and gorgeous beaches. After stopping at Santa Cruz in
Tenerife, the ship moves onto Las Palmas, Gran Canaria, a bustling port with an
historic old quarter, Vegueta. Arrecife in Tenerife is the next stop, before
Black Watch makes its way to the colourful Portuguese capital, Lisbon,
and then makes the return journey to Newcastle.
