  1. Day 1

    Copenhagen, Denmark

    Copenhagen is best explored at street level, where royal history meets modern design. At Nyhavn, colorful harbor-front houses frame canal tours; nearby Amalienborg Palace is the monarch’s winter residence. Christiansborg Palace combines Denmark’s parliament with historic royal rooms, while Christianshavn’s canals reveal a quieter side. Pause for smørrebrød, the open-faced rye-bread staple, and explore the city’s design shops before returning to port.

  2. Day 2

    Bornholm Island Denmark, Denmark

    Bornholm lies in the Baltic Sea, closer to Sweden than mainland Denmark. Rønne, its principal port, opens onto an island of granite cliffs, sandy beaches and quiet farmland. Visit Hammershus, northern Europe’s largest medieval castle ruin, or seek out Bornholm’s distinctive round churches. In Gudhjem, smokehouses serve the local specialty: smoked herring. Bornholm rewards unhurried exploration, with striking coastlines and Danish character within easy reach.

  3. Day 3

    Gdynia-Gdansk, Poland

    Gdańsk pairs a Hanseatic waterfront with a history that shaped modern Europe. Follow the Royal Route to the Long Market, where Neptune’s Fountain anchors the old town. St Mary’s Church rises above streets rebuilt after the Second World War. At the European Solidarity Centre, learn how the 1980 shipyard strike helped weaken communist rule. Amber shops and waterfront cafés offer an easy pause between landmarks.

  4. Day 4

    Klaipeda, Lithuania

    Klaipėda is Lithuania’s Baltic port, where maritime history meets an unexpectedly handsome old town. Its half-timbered warehouses and narrow lanes recall centuries of trade under Prussian rule. Ferries cross the lagoon to the Curonian Spit, a UNESCO-listed sweep of dunes, pine woods and fishing villages. Stay in town for museums and cafés, or make the crossing for a striking day outdoors.

  5. Day 5

    Riga, Latvia

    Riga rewards a day ashore with a compact UNESCO-listed Old Town and one of Europe’s richest Art Nouveau districts. Begin at the House of the Blackheads, then follow cobbled lanes to Riga Cathedral and the riverfront. Across the canal, Alberta Street displays ornate façades that made the city a landmark of early twentieth-century design. For local life, browse Riga Central Market, set in former Zeppelin hangars near the Daugava.

  6. Day 6

    Stockholm, Sweden

    Stockholm rewards the curious with a capital spread across 14 islands, where Lake Mälaren meets the Baltic Sea. From the waterfront, ferries and bridges lead to Gamla Stan’s narrow lanes, the Royal Palace, and the Nobel Prize Museum. Visit the Vasa Museum to see a 17th-century warship recovered from the harbor. Then pause for coffee in a city where water, design, and history shape everyday life.

  7. Day 8

    Tallinn, Estonia

    Step ashore in Tallinn, where medieval towers rise above a Baltic capital built for curious walkers. Within the UNESCO-listed Old Town, cobbled lanes lead to merchant houses, church spires and Town Hall Square. Climb Toompea for views across red roofs and the Gulf of Finland; explore cafés and galleries beyond the walls. Tallinn rewards a day on foot, with history close at hand and a distinctly modern pulse.

  8. Day 9

    Helsinki, Finland

    Helsinki is a compact capital where Nordic design, sea air and neoclassical grandeur meet within easy reach of the harbour. Begin at Senate Square, framed by the white Helsinki Cathedral and elegant buildings shaped by architect Carl Ludvig Engel. At the Old Market Hall, Finnish rye bread, smoked fish and seasonal berries offer a taste of local life. With time to spare, take the ferry to Suomenlinna, a UNESCO-listed sea fortress spread across six islands.
