Holiday Itinerary
DAY 1: UK - Copenhagen.

DAY 2: At sea.
For your first day at sea relax on your cruise ship and enjoy the entertainment and facilities on board. (B, L, D)
DAY 3: Tallinn.
Estonia's capital is a fascinating city with a well preserved medieval Old Town and melée of fortifications, churches and winding cobbled streets. A magnet for visitors is Toompea, a hill at the heart of the city, home to many fine buildings, including the 19th-century Russian Orthodox Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, Toompea Castle and the Toomkirik, a Lutheran cathedral built in 1233. Lively Town Hall Square, lined with open-air cafés and bars, is a great place to relax and enjoy a drink. (B, L, D)
DAY 4: St Petersburg.
Known as the 'Venice of the North' and Russia's most European city, St Petersburg was created by Peter the Great in 1703 as Russia's 'Window on the West', and was built with 18th and 19th-century European pomp and orderliness, mainly by European architects. The result is a city which remains one of the world's most beautiful and enchanting, with a wealth of fine buildings, including the famous Winter Palace, housing the magnificent Hermitage Museum, which easily rivals such well respected establishments as the Louvre, the Prado and the British Museum. (B, L, D)
DAY 5: Helsinki.
Often called the 'White City of the North' because of its many buildings constructed using a local light-coloured granite, Finland's capital city retains a small-town feel, with no high-rise buildings and many charming parks and waterways. Sightseeing highlights include: Well Park, a shady oasis in the south-east corner of the city; Senate Square, the heart of neo-classical Helsinki, designed by the German architect Carl Ludvig Engel; the stunning copper-domed Temple Square Church; and the Uspenski Cathedral with its burnished gold onion domes, spectacularly located on a clifftop overlooking the North Harbour. (B, L, D)
DAY 6: Stockholm.
Built on 14 islands, Sweden's capital is a beautiful city, with noble architecture and lovely parks. The Gamla Stan Old Town is home to many sightseeing attractions, including the magnificent 18th-century Royal Palace, the majestic Cathedral of St Nicholas, the German Church, the House of Lords and the Stock Exchange. The city is also Sweden's main educational and cultural centre and has a university that dates back to 1877, as well as a fine opera house, theatre and concert hall. (B, L, D)
DAY 7: At sea.
(B, L, D)
