Cruise Details

Northern Interludes

Northern Interludes

14-day Cruise from London to Copenhagen onboard Marina

The northern latitudes offer a warm welcome as this voyage calls on several bewitching capitals. Built over bubbling geothermal springs, Reykjavik invites a visit to its botanical gardens, an activity not always associated with Iceland. Oslo, which was founded just over 1,000 years ago, also has its verdant surprises such as Vigeland Park, an oasis punctuated by the world's largest granite sculpture, the Monolith. The cultural hub of bustling Belfast is the Cathedral Quarter, named for its signature St. Anne's Cathedral, but renowned for its wonderful restaurants, fine art galleries and dramatic architecture. For scenic beauty, few capitals can compete with Tórshavn, a jewel in the subarctic Faroe Islands.

Baltic Treasures

Baltic Treasures

10-day Cruise from Copenhagen to Stockholm onboard Nautica

What makes this voyage so popular that it's offered seven times? Could it be the fact that every day, without exception, is spent in port? Perhaps even more remarkable, you will experience the boundless joys of a new country each day, with the additional luxury of an overnight stay in St. Petersburg. Pass through the arch leading into the medieval quarter of Gdansk. Ride a bicycle through picturesque Rønne and into the glorious countryside. Watch the artisans in the old town of Tallinn craft quilts using centuries-old methods. In Helsinki, browse the Stone Age exhibitions in the National Museum of Finland, which include an elk head sculpture carved from soapstone circa 7000 B.C.

Czars & Vikings

Czars & Vikings

14-day Cruise from Paris to Stockholm onboard Nautica

History seems to pervade each moment on this celebrated voyage, which traces the routes of the Vikings across the Baltic Sea. Ride a bicycle through the medieval walled section of Visby or take a leisurely walk along its inviting cobbled streets. Take a sobering tour of the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam, where her original diary is on display. Pore over the golden objects recovered from numerous Viking tombs in Stockholm's splendid Museum of National Antiquities. Immerse yourself in the artistic treasures in St. Petersburg's Hermitage, knowing you still have time to venture farther afield to the Dostoevsky Museum, the house where he wrote The Brothers Karamazov, his last great novel.

Nordic Dreams

Nordic Dreams

12-day Cruise from Copenhagen to London onboard Marina

A perfect union of the multi-cultured British Isles and naturally beautiful Scandinavia, this extraordinary voyage offers our only deep foray into Norway's fjords. After sailing along the serene Sognefjord, the waterway forks with wee Flåm at one end and gracious Gudvangen at the other. Both villages nestle in fairytale-like settings surrounded by steep mountains and roaring waterfalls. More scenic beauty awaits you in Scotland, particularly in the isolated Shetland Islands, whose stark landscape simply mesmerizes. As a counterpoint, this voyage presents countless urban pleasures, such as the chance to linger in Dublin's esteemed National Museum of Ireland, a repository of nearly four million artifacts and specimens.

Scandinavian Splendors

Scandinavian Splendors

14-day Cruise from Stockholm to London onboard Nautica

With its star-studded cast of metropolitan destinations, this grand voyage reveals the cultural splendors so emblematic of Northern Europe. Admire Rembrandt's controversial painting The Crusader, now on display in Copenhagen's prestigious Danish National Gallery after being found languishing for years in the museum's archives. Spend a reflective moment in St. Petersburg's historic Palace Square, where the first Russian Revolution started, and then stroll over to the fabled Winter Palace. Behold Europe's largest collection of Art Nouveau buildings in central Riga. And for the unusual, marvel at Helsinki's open-air Seurasaari Museum, a collection of buildings that replicate rural life between the 18th and 20th centuries.
