So I just called ABD about the Baltics Add-on itinerary, and the lady I spoke with was AWESOME. She went through the more detailed itinerary she has with me to compare with what I was seeing the website. The bad news for me is that although subject to change, the itinerary is mostly in place and there aren't any big activities missing as surprises (with the exception of the Abba museum that has already been mentioned). I was really hoping for an RIB boat or horseback riding or other outdoor activity somewhere in there, but this itinerary is more "relaxed" with mostly museums, city tours, and palaces. When I mentioned that there were no VIP type aspects mentioned as there are in typical ABD itineraries and that it seemed like just a bunch of port adventures put together she didn't disagree. (I have more to say about this in a post I'll put up soon). I mentioned some of the cool exclusives that are being offered as port adventures (like the backstage tour of Tivoli) and she said ABD isn't doing anything like that
Regarding St. Petersburg: She is not showing an evening canal boat ride for either the 7 or 12 night ABD on her itinerary. She said there is an early canal boat ride of the 12 night but there is nothing on her itinerary after the afternoon visit to the Hermitage. In other words, no scheduled activity on the night even though we spend the night in St. Petersburg. She couldn't explain the website discrepancy for the 7 night and agreed it might be an update but it's not what her stuff shows.
If an evening activity is important to you, I'd follow up in a few weeks to see if all of the materials have been updated or if it is a mistake.
I was also curious about the day in Helsinki since on the "highlights" page for the 12 day it talks about the rock church, but no mention of it is made in the itinerary (in contrast to the 7 day which has a whole bit about it in their itinerary). She said the 12 day group does stop there.
