Itinerary
Day 1 – Stockholm, Sweden
Begin your cruise in Stockholm’s stunning archipelago, nestled where Lake Mälaren meets the Baltic. Take in
this amazing city spread over 14 islands and its 13th-century Old Town, or Gamla Stan, with German-
influenced architecture. Consider a trip to the Vasa Museum to see an amazingly preserved 17th-century
ship, or indulge in a smörgåsbord complete with traditional smoked salmon. Or opt to visit Skokloster Castle
in the Swedish countryside.
Day 2 - Stockholm, Sweden
Spend the morning exploring Stockholm’s architectural and natural wonders. Perhaps you will embark on
an intimate boat tour and take in the breathtaking cityscape from the waters. Attend a private performance
at the famed opera house. Or head on your own to the heart of the city to stroll the inviting footpaths of
Djurgården Island, once a royal game park and today a picturesque recreational area blanketed in green.
We depart in the early afternoon for a scenic cruise through the Stockholm archipelago.
Day 3 - Helsinki, Finland
Spend the day in Helsinki, known as the “White City of the North.” Take an included city tour and view the Uspenski
Cathedral; its 13 magnificent green and gold domes represent Christ and the apostles. Nearby is Porvoo, a charming
medieval town with cobblestone streets that weave between historic wooden buildings. Or travel to the home of
composer Jean Sibelius at Ainola and take in a concert at the summer school. Alternatively, visit the 18th-century
Suomenlinna Fortress, one of the world’s largest historic maritime fortresses. Another highlight is the spectacular
Temppeliaukio Church, also known as the “Rock Church”—a subterranean sanctuary with rough-hewn walls of
granite.
