Copenhagen — Denmark's capital is the most fun-loving in Scandinavia. As we get to know Copenhagen, we'll discover vivid reminders of the city's Viking roots and symbols of its proudly independent ways of today.
Denmark beyond Copenhagen — Using Copenhagen as a spring board, we'll visit the very best of Denmark. Århus, Roskilde and the Isle of Ærø welcome us with half-timbered cottages, charming museums and cobbled alleyways that harken back to the world of Hans Christian Andersen.
Norway's West: Fjords, Mountains and Bergen — For Scandinavia’s most thrilling sightseeing, we sail under towering fjord cliffs, hike on powerful glaciers, and find surviving traditions in remote farm hamlets. Then we delve into the Hanseatic heritage and enjoy the salty hospitality of Norway’s historic capital, Bergen.
Oslo — The proud spirit of the Norwegian people shines in every dimension of their capital city—from its once-fearsome Viking ships to its sleek new Opera House, from tales of World War II heroism to the constant festival of its thriving harborfront. Connecting with the culture, we enjoy art—from Vigeland's statues to Monch's scream—and cap things off by joining local friends for a sail on their fjord.
Stockholm — Sweden's capital, confident and self-assured, glitters with souvenirs from the day when it ruled as a superpower. From pondering gilded royal staterooms to sampling gourmet reindeer and sipping vodka in an ice bar, we experience the city's cultural highlights. Then we sail the archipelago for the prettiest island-hopping in northern Europe.
Helsinki and Tallinn: Baltic Sisters — The fascinating capitals of Finland and Estonia offer a chance to sample each country's history, art, and distinct love of life. We'll start in Helsinki with its Neoclassical old town, modern flair for design, and steamy saunas. Then it's just a two-hour boat ride to Tallinn—with its medieval charms and new-found prosperity—celebrating its freedom and thriving in its post-USSR renaissance.
