PORTS OF CALL

STOCKHOLM, Sweden: Sweden's capital, Stockholm, which sprawls over 14 islands, is often called the ‘Beauty on Water.’ Resting amid wooded hills, it is a city surrounded by water, firmly linked by over 50 bridges. Originally founded as a fortress in the 12th century, the earliest mention of Stockholm as a city was in the year 1252. By 1850, the city had just less than 100,000 inhabitants. Today it is one of Europe's most prosperous cities with a population of over a million.

TALLINN, Estonia: Tallinn, capital of the independent republic of Estonia, was a key trading city of the Hanseatic League and one of the largest cities in Europe in the Middle Ages. The exceptionally well-preserved Old Town has earned Tallinn a place on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Today, Tallinn is home to almost a third of Estonia's population. Ancient town walls, old churches, graceful steeples, twisty cobblestone streets, red-tiled roofs and imposing towers reveal German, Swedish and Russian architectural influences. The fortress on Castle Hill and many ancient protective bastions stand as a historical tribute to a time, in the 15th century, when Tallinn was heavily fortified.

HELSINKI, Finland: A heritage spanning over 450 years awaits you as you step ashore in Helsinki, ‘City of the Sea.’ Spurred on by the inspiration of Carl Ludvig Engel, a native of Berlin who had worked earlier in Tallinn and St. Petersburg, Helsinki has produced some of the world's finest architects. Today, the legacy of their splendid work is seen everywhere. Nonetheless, nature has not been subdued, as leafy parks and picturesque bays continue to exert their timeless influence. A political and economic hub, this city is also a cultural center boasting 20 theatres, the National Opera, numerous museums and art galleries.

ST. PETERSBURG, Russia: Formerly known as Leningrad, St. Petersburg is Russia's second-largest city. It lies on a series of islands on the broad reaches of the mighty Neva River. The network of decorated bridges arching above the numerous waterways and canals are a visual delight. Over 300 years ago, this area was merely marsh and forest land. Peter the Great's vision was to build a window to the west, a city that would be a reflection of the great capitals of Europe. With the energy and drive so characteristic of this great man, he began the task. Magnificent Russian Versailles and Fontainbleau, with names like Pavlovsk and Peterhof, now encircle St. Petersburg; hence this comparatively young city has become ageless.

VISBY, Sweden: Visby, the Jewel in the Crown on the Island of Gotland, is a medieval city entrenched in the lore of yesteryear. Called ‘The Durbovnik of the Baltic,’ Visby is a historic highlight of Sweden, as it boasts an array of church ruins dating from the 12

th Century, the Great City

Wall, that was originally built to protect the city, and a multitude of wooden and limestone homes erected in the Middle Ages. A thoroughly alive and vital city, Visby's ideal seaside location, nestled within the shadow of a steep cliff, is made unique by the remnants of its historical past.

COPENHAGEN, Denmark: Denmark, the world's oldest kingdom, awaits your discovery on this visit to its lively capital, Copenhagen. Immerse yourself in the vitality of this delightful city as you explore its expansive parks and plazas, as well as its treasure trove of historic galleries and buildings. Discover its exquisite combination of Scandinavian elegance and European joie de vivre. Visitors travelling outside the city enter an altogether different world; one where stately castles are found nestled in the gentle, emerald-green Danish countryside.

DOVER (LONDON), England: For centuries, Dover has been a symbol of England's royal fortitude. The port's legendary White Cliffs have long been a welcomed landmark for seafaring travelers. The solid Dover Castle has faced invasions by Roman, French and even English troops. London's legendary sights, including Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, Parliament Square, Whitehall and the fashionable West End, lie just 80 miles from historic Dover.
