While the restaurant in itself has the reputation for being overpriced and delivering mediocre service, the ship itself is a stunner and an example of what can be sighted in Klaipeda. Klaipeda's old town, the harbour and along the river are nice places to wonder about.

Palanga resort town on Lithuania’s Baltic coast offers 10 kilometres of sandy beach backed by scented pines and sand dunes.

If travelling to Palanga it’s also worth seeing the Palanga Pier where you can enjoy a superb view of the dunes, beaches and the sea. Also check out the Palanga Museum of Amber. Palanga is a beach resort that caters for both, the pensioners and the party goers – many pentioners tend to enjoy more of the offseason. During the peak season Palanga can become a bit of a pounding party spot.
