June 30 - July 1: Copenhagen, Denmark

Whether strolling through blooming flowers in Tivoli Gardens, witnessing the changing of the guard at Amalienborg Palace, or touring Kronborg Castle—the setting of Shakespeare's Hamlet—it's easy to see why Copenhagen grew to become the capital of Denmark. And, if you believe all the survey reports about this cheerful city, not only will you find yourself in one of the most cosmopolitan Nordic capitals on this Copenhagen cruise, but you’ll be elbow to elbow with some of the happiest locals on Earth.

July 2: Day at Sea

July 3: Helsinki, Finland

Occupying a peninsula and several islands, this capital city's stunning structures surround some of the most spectacular bays you could ever hope to find. Stroll down broad, tree-lined streets, or take in the amazing neo-classically designed architecture in Senate Square.

July 4: Tallinn, Estonia

Tallinn has remained remarkably unchanged since its founding in 1154 A.D. The preservation of this city’s old-world charm enables visitors to enjoy architectural marvels of centuries past, such as the soaring towers of Toompea Castle and the exquisite Russian Orthodox Cathedral. The exception is the delightfully modern pink Parliament building, visible from Palace Square. With a boisterous nightlife, Tallinn stands as one of the most exciting cities of the former Soviet Union. Here, ancient church spires and baroque architecture intermingle with modern glass buildings that echo the many influences and cultures that have left their imprint throughout the centuries. There are so many amazing sites to explore on your Tallinn cruise. Visit the imaginative Estonian Open-Air Museum, where ancient structures are arranged among the trees, complete with actors in period garb. People watching doesn’t get much better than what you’ll find in Town Hall Square, and if it’s animals you’d rather observe, visit the Tallinn Zoo, where over 350 different species are housed.

July 5: Stockholm, Sweden

No fewer than 50 bridges connect this Swedish capital’s 14 islands to its mainland. The country is modern, dynamic, and ever-evolving. It may be liberal and forward-looking when it comes to the collective attitude, but it’s rich in history too. On your Europe cruise, visit the many parks, museums, and palaces or make your way through Gamla Stan, or Old Town, packed with historic buildings, shops, and cafés. The world’s first open-air museum, Skansen, is here, located on the island of Royal Djurgården, and there’s the fascinating maritime Vasa Museum in town.

July 6: Visby, Sweden

Visby is a former Viking city on the island of Gotland in the middle of the Baltic Sea. This walled city is considered to be the best-preserved fortified commercial town in Northern Europe, with numerous excellent examples of medieval art and architecture. Nearby, you'll find attractive beaches, pleasant rolling hills, and countryside.

July 7: Day at Sea

July 8: Skagen, Denmark

This Danish port town is rife with nautical charm. Rugged and beautiful, Skagen is a favored tourist destination, especially in the summer months, with its long coastline and pleasant atmosphere. Popularized by an influx of Scandinavian artists in the mid-19th century who were drawn by its radiance, the town enjoys a wealth of cultural treasures. A great way to learn about the artists who have settled here is to plan a trip during your Skagen cruise to Anchers Hus. This was the home of Michael and Anna Anchers, which has remained unchanged since they first lived there. You can see some of their works, the studios where they painted, and a glimpse into how they lived.
