NORTHERN EUROPE

The Baltic isn’ t just a body of water, it’ s a stage where history, culture and design all fight for the spotlight— and somehow everyone wins. One day you’ re wandering Copenhagen’ s storybook streets, the next you’ re sipping aquavit in Oslo or sizing up Rotterdam’ s futuristic skyline. Medieval castles, Nordic cool and enough maritime lore to fill an entire bookshelf sit side by side, connected by seas that have carried Vikings, merchants and dreamers for centuries. The best part? You don’ t have to pick just one flavor. A Baltic voyage is a sampler platter of Europe’ s greatest hits, served with crisp air, dramatic coastlines and the thrill of checking an entire region off your bucket list.
