Spectacular Scandinavia. Enjoy a scenic drive to Stockholm and enjoy the serene natural beauty and lush green views along the route from Norway to Sweden, dotted with small lakes and little villages amid the lovely Scandinavian landscape. 329 mi / 530 km

TOUR HIGHLIGHT

CULTURAL GEMS Called “the capital of cool,” Stockholm is the place for music, art, and fashion. With nearly 100 museums, Stockholm has more museums per capita than almost anywhere else in the world. Sustainable and eco-friendly solutions are a big part of everyday life in Stockholm where many restaurants focus on locally sourced seasonal ingredients, and the city skyline rises above lush, green spaces.

Day 6 Stockholm (B)

Maritime Marvels. Join your Local Guide to discover Stockholm, the “City of Islands.” Guided sightseeing features views of the Royal Palace and Riddarholmen Church, the final resting place of the Swedish kings and Stockholm's only preserved mediaeval abbey.

Explore more of this beautiful city during a leisurely afternoon and evening.

LOCAL FAVORITE

CULTURE & TRADITION Set your course for the Vasa Ship Museum in Stockholm. Here, you’ll cruise back through maritime days to see the historic Vasa – the Swedish war ship which capsized and sank on her maiden voyage off Stockholm 1628. After 333 years on the seabed, the mighty warship and remarkable relics were salvaged to carry visitors on a fascinating voyage through history. Today, the Vasa is the world's best-preserved 17th-century ship and one of the most sought-after museum experiences in Scandinavia.

Day 7 Stockholm-Overnight Cruise to Helsinki, Finland (B/D)

Later, take an overnight dinner cruise across the Baltic Sea to Helsinki.

TOUR HIGHLIGHT

Finland has often been voted the happiest country in the world, due to its affinity with nature and strong social support system. The capital city of Helsinki is situated in the south of the country poised on a peninsula in the Gulf of Finland. Though it is the coldest capital in the Nordic region, its striking architecture and Nordic cuisine don’t fail to give visitors a warm welcome.

Day 8 Helsinki (B)

Maritime Marvel. Hop aboard a ferry for a short ride to join your Local Guide at the UNESCO-listed Suomenlinna Fortress, located on an island in Helsinki harbour. Historically an important military base serving three different nations, this "living fortress' is now a lively maritime district.
