About the cruise

This 14 night cruise on board Arcadia takes you to the beautiful cities of Copenhagen, Stockholm, Helsinki, St Petersburg, Tallinn, Oslo and Kristiansand.

Experience the fairytale magic of Copenhagen as you soar above Tivoli Gardens in a tethered hot air balloon – or explore Kronberg Castle, the original Elsinore in Shakespeare’s Hamlet. Stockholm is described as the ‘Venice of the North’ due to its topography, spanning 14 separate islands and myriad small islets, while Helsinki boasts stunning architecture and luscious parks.

In St Petersburg, where you’ll enjoy two full days, you can seek out Catherine the Great’s Palace with its breathtaking white, blue and gold facade, while The Hermitage Museum holds some of Europe’s greatest art. This is Russia at its most dramatic, flamboyant and captivating. Tallinn, in Estonia, offers a fascinating mix of architectural styles, from the spectacular onion domes of the Nevski Russian Orthodox Cathedral to the baroque Toompea Castle in the old town. Oslo is a spectacular city surrounded by snow-capped mountains and rolling green hills, while fascinating Kristiansand brings you a renaissance city plus beaches, superb scenery and one of Norway’s largest open-air museums.
