Welcome to our Journey to the Baltics in 2010

     This website was created as a planning tool for our cruise to the Northern European Capitals in the Summer
     of 2010 on the Disney Magic.  This website is a work in progress, please check back frequently for updates.
     This website can be used to plan any Baltic Cruise, but I will focus dates and time around the Disney Magic's
     return to Europe.  This will only be the second time the Disney cruise ship the Magic will be in Europe.
     I will review as many of the sights, restaurant, shopping ideas, etc as I can so you can help plan
     your excursions.  The more prepared you are the better you will be able to decide to tour the port on your 
     own or do a self-guided excursion.  There are 4 scheduled Disney cruises to the Baltics in the Summer of   
     2010 on the Disney Magic.
