Important Note on Russian Visa Requirements If you plan on visiting St. Petersburg outside of the tours offered, you will need to procure a Russian Visa from a qualified visa service, or work with an operator that provides one. Please contact a visa service of your choice or the local consulate for required documentation, fees and forms. |
Before we set sail, the capital of Denmark will definitely make you smile. Despite being a great European capital, Copenhagen has managed to maintain the charm and character of its small fishing village roots. As the epicenter for simple, clean Scandinavian design, Copenhagen is a great place to shop for furniture and home decor. Take a stroll down the bustling Stroget; visit Kronberg Castle, the setting of Shakespeare's Hamlet; or explore Tivoli, the inspiration for Walt Disney's theme parks.
Tallinn, the capital of Estonia, is one of the oldest cities on the Baltic Sea. Much of it has remained unchanged since its founding 600 years ago, enabling visitors to enjoy architectural marvels, like the soaring towers of Toompea Castle and the exquisite Russian Orthodox Cathedral. A romantic walk awaits as you explore the medieval cobblestone alleyways, cracking walls and old buildings from the Middle Ages. Today, Tallinn is also filled with parks, museums, sports centers, hotels and cafés.
St. Petersburg was reportedly built to resemble western cities such as London, Paris and Vienna. Although, once you see it, you'll agree there's nothing quite like this regal city. St. Petersburg embodies the soul of Imperial Russia, with elegant facades, glorious cathedrals and grand residences built by Peter the Great. Under Catherine the Great, the city gained new splendor with elaborate palaces, lovely parks and magnificent squares designed by French and Italian architects.
Occupying a peninsula and several islands, Helsinki is the sparkling capital of Finland, an elegant city of spectacular architecture, beautiful gardens, and harborside parks. The Finns have long been admired for graceful design. Helsinki's architecture spans many styles and centuries, from medieval to neoclassical, as well as the superb ultra-modern creations by Aalto, Saarinen, and other Finnish masters.
Fifty bridges connect this Swedish capital's fourteen islands to its mainland. Undoubtedly, this was to ensure that Swedes could enjoy every inch of this magnificent city's parks, museums, and palaces - the most famous being the 600-room Royal Palace. Make your way through the Gamla Stan, or Old Town, packed with historic buildings, shops and caf?s. Then try Aquavit, a potato based liquor, served ice-cold and drunk as a shot. Locals love it, but be warned: it's a lot stronger than you think! 
An eclectic mix of old and new, Amsterdam’s historical charm and cosmopolitan flair are as captivating as its unique architecture. It's a blend of cultures, but still quintessentially Dutch, with its friendly and open-minded residents welcoming you to such unique attractions as the Anne Frank’s house, the Van Gogh museum, and the Heineken Brewery. Better yet, though, the best way to see the city is on foot, strolling over its 1281 bridges.|
