End your Northern European Grand Journey in the hometown of the Beatles, Liverpool.

Highlights of this cruise:

Stockholm
A true capital of culture, this old-world city of modern design, fashion and New Nordic cuisine is renowned for its sense of style. Set over 14 islands firmly linked by over 50 bridges, Sweden’s enchanting capital is home to the legendary Gamla Stan, museums and more.

Helsinki
This “City of the Sea” with over 450 years of creative heritage has produced some of the world`s finest architects, and legacy of their splendid work is seen everywhere. Mother Nature has also made her mark here, as leafy parks and picturesque bays continue punctuate the promenades. A political and economic hub, this city is also a cultural center with 20 theatres, the National Opera, and fascinating museums and art galleries.

Copenhagen
Capital of the “World’s Happiest Country,” Copenhagen is known for its colorful buildings, busy canals and cozy ambience. In this charming city, you can stroll the Tivoli Gardens, visit museums or join the cycling culture by touring on two wheels.

Stavanger
For centuries, Stavanger and its surrounding areas have played a leading part in Norway’s maritime history – from the time when Viking kings battled in Hafrsfjord, through the period of the “White Sails,” steamships and modern super tankers. As a result of its prime geographical location, Stavanger is considered the most important oil city in Norway.

Reykjavik
Formed by volcanic eruptions and settled by Norse Vikings, Iceland is an unforested land of volcanoes, hot springs, mountains, glaciers and northern lights. While its preserved language remains, this is a forward-thinking, eco-friendly country and Reykjavik is its capital where 60% of the population lives. Europe’s second largest island is known for whale watching and its ancient maritime history.

Akureyri
Situated on one of the most magnificent fjords in Iceland, bounded by snow-capped mountains and gently sloping pastures, the weather here is surprisingly moderate despite being just 60 miles from the Arctic Circle. Charming and historical, here you’ll find over 2,000 species of plants in the Botanical Gardens, which thrive without the benefit of a greenhouse.

Longyearbyen
This glacier-clad, barely sub-North Pole clime once hosted a tropical forest. That was long ago, in prehistoric times. Nonetheless, the forest’s presence helped establish what we now know as the town of Longyearbyen. In 1899, coal – the remains of the once-flourishing tropical vegetation – was discovered. In 1906, American John M. Longyear founded the Arctic Coal Company, lending the town his capital and his name. While Americans, Russians and Swedes rushed to the Svalbard archipelago (of which the island of Spitsbergen is a part) in search of black gold, you will make a wealth of other discoveries. During the summer, continuous daylight coaxes flowers into an astounding display of color. Abundant wildlife includes polar bears, arctic foxes, reindeer, seals, walruses and whales. The town of Longyearbyen offers its own appeal, with an array of interesting shops and welcoming cafés.

Bergen
Mother Nature pulses through Bergen’s veins. The pretty little town is flanked by a mesmerizing canvas of fjords, mountains, and waterways which must be seen to be believed, and cast in the shadow of majestic Mount Fløyen, and visitors who are not afraid of heights should enjoy sweeping views of the valley via the Fløibanen funicular. Bergen is everything you would expect it to be: colorful fishing huts dot the landscape while the vibrant Fish Market, perhaps the beating heart of the town, is where visitors immerse in the flavors of fresh seafood and local produce. Traditional dishes like “klippfisk” and “smørbrød” reveal a deep connection to coastal resources, and are very tasty to boot! Once you have had your fill of sensational landscapes and traditional food, then take a stroll to iconic Bryggen Wharf—a UNESCO World Heritage Site adorned with vibrantly hued Hanseatic buildings, echoing tales of centuries-old maritime trade.

Dover
For centuries, Dover has been a symbol of England`s royal fortitude. The port`s legendary White Cliffs have long been a welcomed landmark for seafaring travelers. The solid Dover Castle has faced invasions by Roman, French and even English troops. London`s legendary sights, including Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, Parliament Square, Whitehall and the fashionable West End, lie just 80 miles from historic Dover.

Liverpool
Known for being the birthplace of the Beatles, the city offers many different attractions dedicated to this iconic band. Liverpool is also home to the stunningly original Anglican cathedral, considered the biggest in Britain, and of the famous dish known as “scouse,” which you can enjoy in multiple restaurants across the city.
