The latest on the blog is about the sights and activities during our @vikingcruises shore excursions in St. Petersburg, Russia. The gorgeous domes are part of the Church of Our Saviour on Spilled Blood. The church was constructed between 1883 and 1907 and got its name because it was built upon the site where Tsar Alexander II was assassinated. #myvikingstory #stpetersburgrussia #russia . . . #russiagram #travelrussia #visitstpetersburg #beautifulchurches #churchofoursaviour #traveldeeper #instatravel #vikingcruises #shoreexcursion #travel #travelblogger #visitpetersburg #createthegreat

When we visited St. Petersburg, Russia in late September, the leaves were just starting to turn, making for a beautiful stroll through Mikhailovsky Garden. The park can be entered behind the Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood which we were touring on our shore excursion with @vikingcruises #myvikingstory #saintpetersburgrussia #russia . . . #stpetersburgrussia #mikhailovskygarden #park #citypark #vikinghomelands #vikingcruise #visitrussia #traveleurope #travelrussia #instarussia #earlyautumn #travelgram #visitpetersburg

Riding on a long and quite steep (more so than the photo shows) in a Metro station in St. Petersburg, Russia. The “St. Petersburg by Metro and on Foot” shore excursion during the Viking Homelands cruise was one of my favorite trip experiences. It was like being part of daily life in Russia. Keep following the @travelingwithsweeney blog for more about our cruise on the Baltic. #myvikingstory #stpetersburgrussia #saintpetersburgrussia #vikingcruises #metrostation #travelrussia #travelblogger #instarussia #balticcruise #escalator #dailylifeinrussia #visitpetersburg

Stockholm, Sweden. One of the great things about @vikingcruises is the focus on destinations providing many opportunities to tour and explore port cities on included and optional excursions. Find out more on the blog about our favorite things during our first ocean cruise. #myvikingstory #europe #stockholm #sweden

The art of the cruise. From the first steps onto the Viking Jupiter, passengers can see that elements of art are clearly integral to the interior ambiance of the ship. Art is central to the elegant Scandinavian design and decor of the Jupiter (and its sister ships) with paintings, photographs, sculptures, ceramics, and other pieces placed thoughtfully throughout the ship, creating comfortable and appealing spaces for guests.

Helsinki city scene. There’s something about trams that adds to the allure of European cities. Do you agree? Especially when they run along tree-lined boulevards with beautiful buildings.

Morning in Gdańsk, Poland. Just finished a walking tour with @vikingcruises in this lovely city on the Baltic. Most of the buildings in the old town were reconstructed after World War II to look like the originals. #gdansk #poland #myvikingstory . . . #polandgram #poland🇵🇱 #visitgdansk #balticsea #instapoland #polska #europeantravel #traveleurope #beautifuldestinations

When you’ve been out and about all day exploring a new place, it’s nice to come back to your home away from home —- in this case, the @vikingcruises Jupiter in Tallinn, Estonia. #myvikingstory #tallinn #estonia . . . #instatallinn #vikingjupiter #cruiseship #instatravel #europeantravel #traveleurope #travelblogger

A peek inside an old apothecary shop and museum in Tallinn, Estonia. Through the windows, you can see a few of the colorful buildings on Town Hall Square. So much charm and character in this city.
