Superyacht Bergen Approaching Bergen from the sea will simply take your breath away, enjoy the view from your plush living quarters as you witness the pretty city rise from the shimmering blue waters. Its centuries of history filled with culture and splendor make it a divine place to anchor off when exploring the Baltics. After taking a series of postcard perfect photos from the sundeck of your superyacht, step ashore to lose yourself in the old cobbled streets and narrow alleys that wind and overflow with museums and galleries.

After spending the day discovering the bounty of Bergen sink down into the steaming Jacuzzi on your superyacht charter with a glass of chilled Champagne. Bergen, Norway Tallin Another great port town is the Estonian capital of Tallin with its medieval delight, bright and bursting flower gardens, open air museum and breath-taking gothic architecture.

With plenty of water toys and tenders onboard this is the perfect chance to splash in the azure waters and bask in the pleasures of having the ocean as your own front garden. If you feel festive, ask a few local artists to perform a private performance from the privileged setting of your superyacht sundeck as you graze on cocktails and canapés.

Nowhere captures the essence of nature, the majesty of the fjords and the starkness of the rugged Norwegian coast quite like Geiranger. Home to the spectacular Seven Sisters and the Bridal Veil waterfalls you can lose yourself in the silver mists, the sheer cliffs and the divinity of Mother Earth in Geiranger. If you fancy a privileged moment, your Captain can inch its ship up close for a little waterfall mist, and if you feel courageous, why not jump off the main deck into the chilly Norwegian waters. Rest assured, you can warm up in your own onboard sauna to complete the Scandinavian ritual. Guirangerfjord The Baltic Sea seems to remain a mystery but on-board a luxury superyacht you can unravel the myth and the magic and glimpse behind the scenes.

  1. the artical is a bit misleading as only some of the places are in the Baltic Sea, the others are the Norwegen Sea. Nice article though and looks super fun.

  2. Norway is not located on the Baltic Sea, so the only Baltic Sea ports from the article are Tallin, St.Petersburg and Bornholm.
    Anyway, it is always good to read your articles. Thank you!
