Gudhjem/Bornholm/Denmark , 7.00 – 16.00 hrs
Gudhjem/Bornholm
Beautiful coastal and dune landscapes, half-timbered houses, small art galleries and smokehouses: “picturesque” is the perfect way to describe Gudhjem. Explore the south* of the island with its traditional round churches or go fishing* along the coast.
Klaipeda/Lithuania, 7.00 – 17.00 hrs
Klaipeda
Even the expressionists and Thomas Mann, a winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, were thrilled by this place: the Curonian Spit* is a wonderful natural landscape with sand dunes up to 60 m tall – ideal for a scenic journey* or a ride in a Curonian barge*.
Riga/Latvia, 9.30 – 0.00 hrs
Riga
With maritime flair and a fascinating range of architectural styles, Riga is home to Romanesque, Gothic, baroque, classical and art nouveau buildings. Explore the old town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, on foot or on a Segway tour*. A tip for connoisseurs: pankukas (pancakes) with salmon caviar and sour cream are available in many restaurants.
OUR TIP:
Riga from above
The tower of St Peter’s Cathedral rises 120 m into the air over Riga – perfect for spectacular panoramic views.
Relaxation at sea
Helsinki/Finland, 8.00 – 15.00 hrs
Helsinki
The Finnish capital is regarded as the “Paris of the north”. The city’s sights include the Sibelius Park and the Rock Church, and exploring the city on a traditional two-mast sailing boat* promises to be an unforgettable experience. Riding in the RIB* through the archipelago in the waters just off Helsinki will be no less exciting.
St. Petersburg/Russia, arrival 7.00 hrs
Overnight stay on board
St. Petersburg
Russia’s former capital is simply incredible – and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, too. Splendour and majesty are to be found on every corner and especially in the Hermitage, which houses more than three million exhibits. On a tour* of the Hermitage, you will be guided through selected rooms containing the best works of art by European masters. The restored legendary Amber Room sparkles in the Catherine Palace*. After one final night on board, it will be time to head home – or continue exploring St. Petersburg and Moscow with our post-cruise programmes*.
