Highlights of this cruise:

Skagen
Denmark's most northerly cruise port, Skagen can be found on the east coast of North Jutland. A popular yachting port, it is also the largest fishing port in the country.

Stockholm
Gracefully set on 14 islands and connected by 40 bridges, Stockholm is the Baltic's largest seaport. Surrounded by clear waters and unspoilt countryside, it is one of the most beautiful capitals in the world.

The city's rich and fascinating history is reflected in the ornate architecture of its churches, castles, bridges and elegant open squares. The Old Town (Gamla Stan) is located on the island of Stadsholmen, and is characterised by narrow medieval streets. Here you can see the majestic exterior of the 18th-century Royal Palace and Stockholm Cathedral.

Stockholm, incredibly has over 100 museums that are visited by millions of people every year. The National museum is the most renowned, with over 16,000 paintings and 30,000 items of art handicraft. This amazing collection of art is Sweden's largest with works by Rembrandt and many other artists.

Helsinki
The cultural, commercial and political centre of Finland, this delightful Scandinavian capital has no high-rise buildings and an intimate small-town feel, with spacious streets interspersed with gardens and parks.

As the most northerly of European capitals founded by King Gustavus Vasa of Sweden, the city's grand architecture reveals a mixture of Swedish, Russian and international influences and it is often called the 'white city of the north' as many of its buildings are made from a local light-coloured granite.

St Petersburg
This relatively young city has packed a lot into its 300 years, and is brimming with historic treasures including ornate palaces, splendid gardens and world-renowned museums.

You can learn about the revolution of 1917 and chart the periods of change faced by Russia in the 20th century as it forged a new path in the Soviet era. The city is often referred to as the 'Venice of the North' as it has many bridges over the river Neva, an important part of the city.

In 1991, a referendum took place for the renaming of the city. After being named Leningrad since 1924, the city supported "St. Petersburg" and was officially renamed in September, 1991.

The skyline over St. Petersburg is relatively low as there are no skyscrapers. The Peter and Paul Cathedral is the tallest building in the city, standing at just over 400ft. The controversial Ohkta Centre, is a city endorsed project said to be looking to build a super tall skyscraper over 1300ft.

Gdynia
Gdynia is a major Polish port and ship building centre, lying along Gdansk Bay on the Baltic. A naval port was constructed here in the 1920s and in 1970 Gdynia, along with Gdansk, was the scene of tragic rioting.

Made a city in 1926 and therefore one of Poland's youngest cities, Gdynia lies in close proximity to sandy beaches and the forested hills surrounding the city.

Winner of the 2002 Europe Prize for promoting the idea of European unity, you can discover Gdansk and the surrounding area from this convenient port.
