Your Activities
The ports on this cruise are filled with culture, history and cosmopolitan fun. We will visit the very gay and lesbian-friendly cities of Stockholm and Helsinki. Stockholm’s 600-room Royal Palace and its Gamla Stan, or Old Town, which is packed with historic buildings, shops and cafés, is sure to delight you! Helsinki melds old and new architecture in spectacular ways and is home to amazing bays and striking cathedrals.
We are excited to be spending three days in St. Petersburg, Russia, so you’ll have time to see all the sights, including one of the most extraordinary museums in the world—the Hermitage—and the spectacular Summer Palace. St. Petersburg will thrill you with its regal palaces and vast public squares, and because we are visiting in June you’ll experience the "white nights"—the sky is never truly dark! Plus, we are arranging an amazing optional excursion to Moscow—Wouldn’t you like to visit the Kremlin? Red Square? Iconic Orthodox churches?
Next , you’ll see the northern Estonian coastal town of Tallinn, relishing the soaring towers of Toompea Castle and the exquisite Russian Orthodox Cathedral before returning to Stockholm.
