Authentic | Scandinavia & the Baltic


This cruise offers you the chance to discover a collection of the charismatic capital cities of Scandinavia and the Baltic, all in just two weeks. Danish royal palaces and castles await in Copenhagen, followed by the medieval charm of Tallinn’s UNESCO-listed Old Town. St Petersburg’s ostentatious palaces are sure to delight, before you experience vibrant Stockholm – via the beautiful Stockholm Archipelago – and Oslo, a medley of culture, nature and art.


With Copenhagen your first destination to explore, you’ll be immersed in highlights from the outset. The iconic Little Mermaid statue will be well within reach of your ship, along with the Nyhavn waterfront district. Elsewhere, you could opt to stroll around the famous Tivoli Gardens, for views of picturesque lakes and enchanting gardens; learn about the Danish royal residences on a highly recommended tour of ‘Royal Copenhagen’; or uncover Danish secrets at the National Museum.


Tallinn is unquestionably one of Europe’s unique and most interesting capitals and can be explored fully during your two days here. This fairytale city is famous for its UNESCO-listed Old Town and wealth of stunning architecture, much of which can be found on Toompea Hill.


The excitement on board will intensify as you arrive in St Petersburg, a true jewel in the Baltic’s crown. By day, the collection of star attractions to uncover includes Peterhof Palace, St Isaac’s Cathedral, the Hermitage Museum, the Faberge Museum and Catherine Palace. When night falls, there’ll be the


opportunity to witness a quintessential Russian ballet performance too.


Following a cruise among the beautiful islands of the Stockholm Archipelago, you’ll spend the following day in Stockholm, where a sightseeing canal boat tour is a great way to gain a unique perspective of the city. There’s also ABBA The Museum – ideal for delving into Swedish pop culture – and a chance to wander around the Old Town, Gamla Stan, and observe the changing of the guard at the Royal Palace. On the island of Gotland, meanwhile, Balmoral will call into UNESCO-listed Visby, proud home to well-preserved medieval ruins and 13th


century city walls.


Last, but not least, in Oslo – capital of Fred. Olsen’s homeland – there are artistic and aesthetic attractions around every corner, such as the Vigeland Sculpture Park; Akershus Fortress; the Munch Museum; the spectacularly designed Opera House; and The National Museum of Art, Architecture and Design, home of Edvard Munch’s The Scream. Oslo is an unforgettable finale to savour before you return back to the UK.
