Highlights of this cruise:

Amsterdam
Even though the country's principal port is Rotterdam and the administrative centre the Hague, Amsterdam is the real capital of the Netherlands, boasting a million-strong population and a never-ending flow of tourists.

Bornholm
Denmark? Yes, actually, in terms of pure political geography Bornholm is in Denmark, but of course Greenland is Danish. The population of Bornholm likes both aspects of the situation: being Danish and swearing allegiance to the royal family, but also maintaining their own identity, which is no small feat.

Helsinki
Everything in Helsinki leads to the port: it is here that the city, known as the "daughter of the Baltic", was born, giving sustenance to families and populations. Its traditional lifestyle, a result of its history with a sprinkling of legend, blends interestingly with its current layout, which has revolutionary architecture and almost futuristic suburbs.

St Petersburg
It is impossible not to be seduced by the splendour of Saint Petersburg, a monumental city with a rich tradition of history and art. Start your visit at the Hermitage, the famous complex comprising five buildings, commissioned by Catherine the Great in 1764, where more than three million items are kept, including Egyptian, Babylonian, Assyrian, Chinese and Indian archaeological artefacts.

Tallinn
Tallinn, the capital of Estonia, which used to be called Reval, has two distinct parts: the city is built partially on a hill slightly inland from the coast, whereas the oldest part, which has been inhabited since the Middle Ages, is closer to the port. Tallinn is famous for its very active open-air theatres and its art galleries, and every year it hosts a world-famous music festival.

Stockholm
Stockholm is a city with a vibrant cultural life and the majority of the country's cultural institutions such as theatres, opera and museums. In the "Venice of the North" there are two UNESCO World Heritage Sites: the Drottningholm Castle and the Skogskyrkogľrden Cemetery. Stockholm has also been European City of Culture. Every year Nobel Prizes for literature, physics, chemistry and medicine are awarded in the course of a formal ceremony.

Copenhagen
The capital of Denmark is undoubtedly the most important city in this country that stretches along the Baltic Sea and has just over 5 million inhabitants. Copenhagen lives in the legend of the Little Mermaid, the most famous character in Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales: seeing the statue depicting the beautiful mermaid, the symbol of the city, is always one of the most exciting moments of any visit.
