St Petersburg


Copenhagen


Oslo


Tallinn


After drinking in the German countryside via a scenic sailing of the size-restricted Kiel Canal, Copenhagen is the first destination on this enticing itinerary. Using Balmoral’s convenient docking location, you won’t be far from many of the star attractions, including the Little Mermaid Statue and the iconic Nyhavn waterfront district. A tour of the city’s majestic castles and palaces is heartily recommended during your stay. The fairytale continues in Tallinn, world- renowned for its UNESCO-listed Old Town and home to the Alexander Nevskij Cathedral and Kadriorg Palace, among other architectural delights.


The excitement on board will then truly intensify as you arrive in St Petersburg. You’ll see why many fall in love with this stylish city. It is proud home to a collection of treasures, including Peterhof Palace, the Hermitage Museum, the Faberge Museum, Nevsky Prospekt and the Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood, to name just a few. An overnight stay affords the opportunity to spend an evening at the Russian ballet too.


After a restful Sunday at sea, a leisurely evening cruise


through the unique Stockholm Archipelago brings you to Sweden© s attractive capital, Stockholm. Here you’ll have the chance to find out more about the Swedish pop group at ABBA The Museum; sample local culture in the trendy cafés and engaging museums throughout the city; or witness the changing of the guard at the Royal Palace in the Old Town, Gamla Stan. It’s then on to Gothenburg, where more scenic archipelago cruising is followed by a plethora of diverse attractions, including the chance to enjoy a canal cruise aboard a traditional ‘Paddan’ sightseeing boat.


Balmoral will then call into Fred. Olsen’s homeland for your final destination, Oslo. Fascinating attractions appear at every turn, including the Vigeland Sculpture Park, the Polar Ship Museum and the Akershus Fortress, with a visit to the National Museum of Art, Architecture and Design – and the chance to come face-to-face with The Scream – being the icing on the cake. Alternatively, you can head off the beaten track to explore forests, hills, lakes and lush green valleys – an inspirational finale before you disembark in Rosyth.
