Description |
12 Night cruise sailing from Stockholm to Amsterdam onboard Azamara Quest.
Begin your journey in cosmopolitan Stockholm, land of Scandinavian architecture where parks and green spaces abound. In Tallinn, sip on flavorful coffees as you soak up the city’s vibrant café culture. Helsinki is a charming city that’s full of surprises! Here, you’ll notice a blend of traditional and modern architecture and design that borrows from Russian and Nordic influences, along with some quirky touches that are purely Finnish.
Then it’s on to St. Petersburg, where you’ll have an overnight stay and lots of time to explore dramatic golden-domed churches, captivating museums, expansive galleries, and lush gardens.
Spend a day at sea indulging in Azamara’s legendary hospitality, Broadway-caliber entertainment, and fine dining before exploring Riga, a centuries-old city with a lively side. Explore Klaipeda’s cobblestone streets and nearby beautiful beaches, then voyage to Gdansk, an architecture buff’s delight.
Cruise to Ronne, a lush, picturesque garden town, then through the Kiel Canal, the world’s busiest artificial waterway linking the North and Baltic Seas. Finally, experience Amsterdam’s unique culture and personality (and all those canals!) as you wrap up your Baltic voyage.
Highlights of this cruise:
Stockholm, Sweden
Experience the best of northern charm in Stockholm. A perfect balance of green space, Scandinavian architecture, and enchanting palaces, Stockholm is the perfect city to relax and explore. Start in Gamla Stan—the city’s oldest section—for a glimpse at how life used to be. Then, make your way to SoFo for delicious meals and specialty shopping. And don’t forget to check out the ABBA Museum!
Tallinn, Estonia
Embrace the wonderfully independent spirit of Tallinn. During your visit, take a walk up Toompea hill for a lovely view of Tallinn’s diverse skyline and architecture. Then, visit St. Olav’s Church, believed to have been the world’s tallest building...in 1625. From here, you’re not far from St. Catherine’s Passage, where you’ll discover many delightful craft workshops to explore.
St. Petersburg, Russia
Affectionately referred to as the Venice of the North, St. Petersburg is home to an incredibly diverse array of architecture. From golden domed churches to opulent palaces, St. Petersburg is certain to leave you in awe. In particular, don’t miss the Winter Palace, located within the Hermitage complex, one of the world’s largest museums and home to more three million works of art and artifacts!
Riga, Latvia
Riga’s Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage site and its winding, wobbly lanes are beautiful to wander through. The Museum of the Occupation is fascinating, haunting in parts. The restored 18th-century National Opera House is worthy of a whole evening. The new National Library is a huge glass and steel mountain. And don’t miss an organ recital in The Dome - the organ one of the largest in Europe.
Klaipeda, Lithuania
Walk the cobblestoned Old Town in Klaipėda and you’ll see its German heritage in the architecture, beginning at Theatre Square where Hitler once spoke. The old warehouses by the Dane River are now pubs and restaurants; try a traditional lunch of fish stew with black bread. Other sites to see include Memelburg Castle, the Ethnographic Fisherman’s Farmstead, and the quaint village of Palanga.
Gdansk, Poland
The 1,000-year-old port city of Gdańsk was mostly destroyed during WWII, but there are still many impressive sights. Wander through cobblestone streets and mazes of red-brick buildings to discover the Upland Gate, St. Mary’s Church, the medieval Gdańsk Crane, the Great Arsenal, and the Amber Museum and National Museum. Then relax at a beer garden and take in the beautiful coastline.
Ronne, Bornholm, Denmark
The island of Bornholm boasts numerous picturesque fishing villages and 15 medieval churches, some of which are 12th century round structures with unique artwork and architecture. Take a stroll down quiet cobbled lanes in the old part of the capital, Ronne. Wednesday is market day on the main square of St. Tory, a great opportunity to chat up the locals, and see what’s on offer at their stalls.
Kiel Canal, Germany
This is the world's busiest artificial waterway, linking the North Sea with the Baltic. Operating since 1895, it was widened to accommodate larger vessels in early 20th century. Still narrow enough to keep ships close to shore, and with no locks, it's basically a gentle cruise through the backyards and gardens of local folk, whom you may see riding their bicycles or picnicking on a fine afternoon.
Amsterdam, Netherlands
With more canals than Venice, Amsterdam is a winding wonder of waterways just waiting to be explored. Whether by boat or by foot, learn about the city's past inhabitants such as Rembrandt, Van Gogh, and Anne Frank. You'll soon discover there's so much more to Amsterdam than windmills and wooden shoes.
