We'll be off on a cruise later this year where we'll be stopping off at:

Norway
Sweden
Denmark
Finland (€)
Estonia (€)
Russia
Germany (€)

Now for most of the cruise dollars should be fine (it is after-all a US operator) and I rather suspect that as it's a cruise-ship they'll happily rip-off accept any currency on board.

The question comes when you're on-land - not having been to multiple countries for 3/4 day at a time (with the exception of Russia 1.5 days) how much to budget? WRT to gratuities for the tour-guides etc I'd imagine that they're used to receiving $/€ so there'd be no issues there and I'm thinking that since we've already booked the tours we want that realistically we're not going to be wanting more than £50 (equiv) for each country and/or the credit-card if needed for a larger bill?

Cheers all - has been very helpful. We've got a clarity card so I was hoping that that could get most of the use. thumbup
