Take advantage of a rare opportunity to explore five 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 explore Tallinn’s UNESCO World Heritage-designated Old Town, virtually unchanged for 600 years.

Discover Helsinki’s Sibelius Park, an artistic homage to Finland’s most famous composer, and the subterranean Temppeliaukio Church, hewn from bedrock. Tour Riga, brimming with 18th- and 19th-century Art Nouveau/Jugendstil architecture, and experience its solemn Jewish history. See the magnificent Neptune’s Fountain in Gdansk and the iconic shipyard where Solidarity was born. Marvel at Copenhagen’s iconic sites on a canal cruise and meander through historic Helsingør.
