1. Day ISTANBUL – OSLO (NORWAY)
Istanbul New Airport International Departures terminal. Meeting in front of the Turkish Airlines counter at 05:30. Departure for Oslo at 08:10 on Turkish Airlines flight TK 1751. After arriving at 10:50 local time, we board our waiting bus and depart for the Port of Oslo. Free time to settle into the cabins after check-in. Our ship departs the port at 16:00 in the evening.
2. Day COPENHAGEN / DENMARK
Our ship will dock at the port at 09:00 in the morning. After having breakfast on board, guests who wish may join the “Copenhagen city tour” to be organized by our guide as an optional excursion. The first stop is the Little Mermaid statue, the tragic heroine of Andersen’s tales, made of bronze and standing on a rock along the seaside promenade, the symbol of Copenhagen. We complete our city tour with the City Hall, notable for its clock tower built in 1905 and its architecture; Nyhavn Canal, the city’s most central and lively area with its colorful houses, cafés and restaurants; Stroget Street, the world’s longest pedestrian shopping street, always colorful and entertaining with street musicians, dancers and magicians at every corner; Amalienborg Palace, built in the 18th century and still the residence of the Danish royal family; the Round Tower, a 17th-century astronomical observation tower offering a bird’s-eye view of the city; Christianborg Palace, formerly inhabited by kings and queens and now used as the Danish Parliament building, impressive with its architectural style; and the Opera House, which draws attention with its modern design and displays hundreds of important works. Our ship will depart the port at 17:00 in the evening.
3. Day WARNEMÜNDE / GERMANY
After breakfast on board, our ship will dock at Warnemünde port at 07:00. Guests who wish may join the “Lübeck & Rostock Tour” to be organized by our guide as an optional excursion. Located at the mouth of the Warnow River, Warnemünde is an attractive German seaside resort boasting elegant architecture and a beautiful white sandy beach. It is an excellent starting point for visiting historic cities and the cultural capital, Berlin. Berlin is a city of immense cultural, architectural and historical importance that has witnessed significant revival since the fall of the Berlin Wall. You will have the opportunity to see some of the German capital’s most incredible landmarks, including the Baroque-Rococo Charlottenburg Palace from the 17th century, the Victory Column from the 19th century and the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church, as well as explore the area around the Brandenburg Gate, the dreadful “death strip” of Communist times. We then visit the Holocaust Memorial and Checkpoint Charlie before touring the Berlin Wall and returning to the ship. Our ship will depart the port at 17:00 in the evening.
4. Day GDYNIA (GDANSK-DANZIG) / POLAND
Our ship will dock at the port at 10:00. Guests who wish may join the “Gdynia & Gdansk Tour” to be organized by our guide as an optional excursion. Our journey to the uniquely beautiful city of Gdansk on Poland’s Baltic Sea coast begins. After our journey, we first proceed to Westerplatte, where the first bomb was dropped by the Nazis. Following our visit here, during our Gdansk city tour accompanied by our guide, we will see places such as Long Market, the Golden Gate, and the Neptune Statue and Fountain. We have free time in Gdansk. We then continue to the site of the Lech Walesa monument. Lech Wałęsa, who led workers striving for unity as a result of the workers’ resistance that began in the Gdańsk shipyards in 1970 and ended bloodily, devoted his life to the resistance and never gave up despite being unemployed many times. Our ship will depart the port at 19:00.
5. Day KLAIPEDA / LITHUANIA
Our ship will dock at Klaipeda port at 07:00. Guests who wish may join the “Klaipeda Tour” to be organized by our guide as an optional excursion. Amber, a type of fossilized tree resin, is highly valued as a gemstone because of its soft golden glow, and as the region is known for its Baltic extraction industry, this tour takes a look at Klaipeda’s old town while visiting the Amber Museum in Palanga. Your walk through the old town begins at Theatre Square, where you will see the statue of “Ännchen von Tharau,” erected in memory of a folk song written by Klaipeda-born poet Simon Dach. As you pass the old town’s half-timbered houses, you will also have the chance to browse market stalls selling handicrafts and amber jewelry before continuing to Palanga. You will visit both the Palanga Botanical Gardens, created more than 100 years ago, and the Amber Museum housed in the 19th-century Tiškevičiai Palace. The museum provides information about where “Baltic Gold” can be found, its uses and its characteristic inclusions—history caught in resin beads. Our ship will depart the port at 15:30
6. Day RIGA / LATVIA
Our ship will dock at Riga port at 07:00. Guests who wish may join the “Riga Tour” to be organized by our guide as an optional excursion. Riga Castle, built in the 14th century; St. Jacob’s Church; the House of the Brotherhood of the Blackheads; the large and small Guildhalls, famous for their interesting story; the House of the Cats; the old city walls; the Dome Church; the theatre and Parliament Building; the Freedom Monument; and streets adorned with Art Nouveau buildings are among the places to see. Our ship will depart the port at 14:30.
7. Day STOCKHOLM (SWEDEN) - ISTANBUL
Our ship will dock at Stockholm port at 09:00 in the morning. After completing our check-out procedures, we disembark. Guests who wish may join the “Stockholm City Tour” to be organized by their guide as an optional excursion. Stockholm is probably one of the most magnificent and beautiful capitals among all the Northern European countries we will visit. In fact, even the magnificent city of St. Petersburg was built as a counterpart to Stockholm. On our tour, we will take an introductory tour of this city, known as the Venice of the North. The tour begins at Monteliusvägen Hill, offering magnificent views from almost every corner of the city, and includes Fjällgatan, Stadshuset (City Hall), the Royal Palace and the old harbor. After free time for shopping, we depart for Stockholm Airport by private bus waiting for us. Upon arrival at Stockholm Airport and completion of baggage and check-in procedures, we depart for Istanbul at 18:35 on Turkish Airlines flight TK 1796. Arrival in Istanbul at 23:15 local time. We look forward to meeting you on another enjoyable journey!
