Highlights of this cruise:

Dover
For centuries, Dover has been a symbol of England`s royal fortitude. The port`s legendary White Cliffs have long been a welcomed landmark for seafaring travelers. The solid Dover Castle has faced invasions by Roman, French and even English troops. London`s legendary sights, including Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, Parliament Square, Whitehall and the fashionable West End, lie just 80 miles from historic Dover.

Amsterdam
Everyone has an image of Amsterdam. For some, it’s small boats gliding on the canals and locals two-wheeling on bikes to work and, as frequently, to meet friends for drinks. For others, it’s gabled buildings leaning, seemingly precariously, over cobbled streets and cozy taverns illuminated by candles. Still others imagine tulips in bloom and the paintings Vermeer, Van Gogh and Rembrandt. Each vision is even more beguiling when experienced in person.

Copenhagen
Capital of the “World’s Happiest Country,” Copenhagen is known for its colorful buildings, busy canals and cozy ambience. In this charming city, you can stroll the Tivoli Gardens, visit museums or join the cycling culture by touring on two wheels.

Helsinki
This “City of the Sea” with over 450 years of creative heritage has produced some of the world`s finest architects, and legacy of their splendid work is seen everywhere. Mother Nature has also made her mark here, as leafy parks and picturesque bays continue punctuate the promenades. A political and economic hub, this city is also a cultural center with 20 theatres, the National Opera, and fascinating museums and art galleries.

Stockholm
A true capital of culture, this old-world city of modern design, fashion and New Nordic cuisine is renowned for its sense of style. Set over 14 islands firmly linked by over 50 bridges, Sweden’s enchanting capital is home to the legendary Gamla Stan, museums and more.
