Northern Europe

Pricing based on departure date: 19 September 2027

Most travellers to Europe overlook the authentic experience offered by the Baltic Sea, with fjords, glaciers, and highly diversified landscapes gently balanced with a forgotten yet well preserved Medieval history.

This Baltic sea cruse includes a host of different ports of call, each more amazing than the last. Enjoy the beauty of  Stockholm, technological hub and capital of Sweden, where strolling along ancient cobbled streets and alleys is the best way to make your way through the old heart of the city. Edvard Eriksen’s famous Little Mermaid will welcome you to the port of  Copenhagen. Inspired by famous writer and poet Hans Christian Andersen, it is the true symbol of the city.
 
Escape the crowds, wander castles lost in time, and sip the fresh air of unspoiled natural wonders.
