Day at Leisure in Helsinki
Helsinki is yours to stroll leisurely through Finland’s quaint capital or take the opportunity to cruise across the Baltic Sea to Estonia where you will visit Tallinn, its fairytale capital city.

Enjoy time at leisure this afternoon to browse Tallinn’s shops, famous for fine amber and silver jewellery before returning to Helsinki.

Stockholm, City of Islands
Disembark your Baltic cruise and explore Stockholm with a Local Expert, visit the imposing City Hall with its impressive Gyllene salen, the Golden Hall, covered with 18 million gilded mosaic tiles and the Blå hallen, the Blue Hall, the venue for the Nobel Prize banquets. Cross the harbour to Gamla Stan, the medieval heart of the city, to see the cathedral and the Royal Palace.

Stockholm
Stockholm, beautifully situated across 14 islands, blends medieval alleyways with cutting-edge Scandinavian design. Begin your day with Insight Choice. Dive into the glitz and legacy of Sweden’s most iconic pop export at ABBA The Museum—an interactive experience celebrating the music, style and global impact of the beloved quartet. Alternatively, explore the spirited side of Swedish culture at the lively Spirit Museum, where art and artefacts trace the country’s long and complex relationship with alcohol, from traditional aquavit to contemporary craft distilling.
