Discover the Scandinavian Capitals
A chance to fully appreciate the beauty and diversity of Scandinavia, this cruise takes you to captivating capitals and some of the region’s most scenic places. In Sweden, experience daytime scenic cruising between the craggy islands and islets of the sprawling Stockholm Archipelago, and discover the sights of Stockholm. See the Swedish capital’s architectural highlights, such as the Royal Palace; visit the many museums; and perhaps take a boat trip on the picturesque canals. There’s also a visit to the beautiful island of Gotland for a glimpse into Sweden’s Hanseatic heritage in historic Visby.
Many delights also await in Denmark. In Copenhagen, you can experience another romantic boat ride along scenic city canals, though you may opt to explore on foot to see the Danish capital’s famous sights, from the famous Little Mermaid and Nyhavn waterfront district to the Royal palaces. Explore Skagen, a town boasting beautiful scenery, typically Danish charm and sweeping white sands that have inspired many artists – including Danish painter, Krøyer – too. Sailing past the Olsen family home on the Oslofjord en route to Oslo will ensure a memorable start to your time in Norway, before you’ve time to explore a capital city renowned for its aesthetic delights; Vigeland Sculpture Park, the National Gallery, home of Edvard Munch’s The Scream, and the Opera House are high on the city’s must-see list. The Akershus Fortress is also well worth a visit, for an insight into Oslo’s medieval heritage.
