Day 6 - Berlin

Arrive: Sat 06 June 2026 at 07:30 / Depart: Sat 06 June 2026 at 22:00

It's been more than two decades since the walls came down and Berlin became unified in many ways, including the pursuit of joy. Germany's capital city is a city that balances cosmopolitan chic with a liberal undercurrent of creativity and cool. Famous landmarks like the Brandenburg Gate and Reichstag fascinate. The elegant Bavarian Quarter amazes.

Day 7 - Hamburg, Germany

Arrive: Sun 07 June 2026 at 07:00 / Depart: Sun 07 June 2026 at 17:00

Nestled along the beautiful Elbe River lies exquisite Hamburg, the second largest city in Germany. You can barely tell that this illuminated metropolis traces its history to the year 831. And while there are plenty of modern buildings to see, like the highly anticipated Elbphilharmonie along the water, it's Hamburg's older culture that can be most exciting. Try a visit to the Fish Auction Hall and Market, an open-air market that's been hawking local wares since 1703. Your visit promises authentic local culture, because it's not just a market. It's a neighbourhood scene, a great place to absorb local colours. And that means you might be lucky enough to catch the occasional rock band playing there in the morning, alongside locals selecting their evening meals from the catches of the day. Model enthusiasts shouldn't miss the spectacular Miniatur Wunderland, a massive model exhibit that leaves visitors speechless with its detail and realism. Of course, there's historic architecture all around and a lovely botanical garden at Park Planten un Blomen. With something for everyone, there's no question you'll have a guten tag in Hamburg!

Day 8 - Copenhagen, Denmark

Arrive: Mon 08 June 2026 at 07:00 / Depart: Mon 08 June 2026

The capital of Denmark, Copenhagen, is filled with canals, cobbled squares and copper spires. But don't let the historic appearance fool you. This is also Scandinavia's most cosmopolitan city. Certainly you can relive medieval times in The Latin Quarter, but you can also enjoy some of Europe's finest shopping, museums, cafes and nightlife prior to your cruise around the Baltics.
