The city owes much of its charm to the buildings erected by Denmark's monarchs, and boasts a treasure trove of late-Renaissance and Rococo architecture. Copenhagen deserves its accolade as the Venice of the North. Founded on a series of islands and islets, the city today is laced with graceful canals and boasts some of the most delightful architecture in Northern Europe. See the fabled statue of Hans Christian Andersen's Little Mermaid, a symbol... ### Day 2: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 3: Gdansk (Gdynia) **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 06:00 PM Gdynia is your gateway port to Poland's fabled city of Gdansk. The city is over a millennium old - the first mention of Gdansk in history occurs in the year 997 A.D. A member of the Hanseatic League, Gdansk was the richest port on the Baltic and a cultural center that drew artists and intellectuals from across Europe. That heritage was imperiled, however, on September 1, 1939, when a German warship opened fire on a garrison north of the city, heralding World War II. By the war's end, Gdansk was ... ### Day 4: Klaipeda **Arrives:** 07:00 AM · **Departs:** 04:00 PM Formerly known as Memel, Klaipeda is a unique historic city - with its roots that go back to the days of German knights - and it's a gloriously royal city, too, as Klaipeda was once the capital of Prussian Kingdom.

Being the third largest town in Lithuania, this relatively small town is well known for its grand annual events including the Jazz festival a... ### Day 5: Riga **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 04:00 PM Capital of Latvia and the largest city of the Baltic Republics, Riga has long been a center of commerce and culture.

In the long struggle for Latvian independence, Riga has been ruled by Germans, Swedes and Russians. Today this "Little Paris of the Baltic" is a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its ar... ### Day 6: Tallinn **Arrives:** 10:00 AM · **Departs:** 11:00 PM Like Latvia and Lithuania, the Baltic republic of Estonia has survived a turbulent history. The small nation was conquered and ruled by the likes of Teutonic Knights, Polish princes and Russian Tsars. For 51 years, Estonia remained a pawn in the Soviet empire, until the burgeoning freedom movement led to independence for the Baltic Republics in 1991. Like its sister republics, Estonia maintained its ties to the Western tradition, retaining the Latin alphabet and Catholic and Protestant faiths. O... ### Day 7: Helsinki **Arrives:** 07:00 AM · **Departs:** 04:00 PM Perhaps their country's harsh climate encouraged the Finns' love and respect for design and the arts. Whatever the cause, there's no denying that Helsinki is one of the most vibrant and beautiful cities in Scandinavia.

The Gotlands Fornsal Museum explores 8,000 years of the region's rich cultural history, from the geological formation of Gotland through the Viking per... ### Day 10: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 11: Oslo, Norway **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 06:00 PM The oldest of the Scandinavian capitals, Oslo boasts one of the most fabled maritime and cultural histories in the entire world: it was the homeland of the seafaring Vikings.

Lerwick is the capital of the archipelago. Located on the eastern shore of Mainland, the largest Shetland Island, the town was largely developed by Dutch herring fisherman in the 17th century.

The museum is home to a superb collection of E... ### Day 19: Cork, Ireland (Cobh) **Arrives:** 10:00 AM · **Departs:** 09:00 PM Founded in the 7th century by St. Fin Barre, Cork is your gateway to romantic Ireland. Stroll down narrow country lanes or see the Lakes of Killarney. The intrepid visitor may scale the narrow passages of Blarney Castle to kiss the Blarney Stone. The region around Cork is also home to one of the densest concentration of prehistoric monuments in Western Europe. And, in a land where fable and fact blend to become folklore, it was near Cork that the great Tuatha De Danaan, a race with magical power... ### Day 20: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 21: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 22: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 23: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 24: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 25: Sydney, Canada **Arrives:** 07:00 AM · **Departs:** 04:00 PM Cape Breton is fabled as a magical travel destination and the Port of Sydney is the gateway.
