Take advantage of a rare opportunity to explore six extraordinary Scandinavian and Baltic Sea countries on this culturally engaging itinerary. Cruise aboard the exclusively chartered, deluxe World Navigator and immerse yourself in ancient architecture, centuries-old history, storied landmarks, fascinating cities and breathtaking, romantic scenery. As you cruise the Baltic Sea, stop and discover fascinating locales in Gothenburg, Kalmar and Visby, Sweden.

Marvel at Copenhagen’s iconic sites on a canal cruise. See the magnificent Neptune’s Fountain in Gdansk and the iconic shipyard where Solidarity was born. Tour Riga, brimming with 18th- and 19th-century Art Nouveau/Jugendstil architecture, and experience its solemn Jewish history. Discover Helsinki’s Sibelius Park, an artistic homage to Finland’s most famous composer, and the subterranean Temppeliaukio Church, hewn from bedrock. Explore Tallinn’s UNESCO World Heritage-designated Old Town, virtually unchanged for 600 years.
