4 days), Bornholms Teater (Denmark s oldest theater), and the octagonal Rønne lighthouse (built in 1880 and operational until it was decommissioned in 1989). Following your guided tour of the town s center, you ll make your way to Hjorths Fabrik a ceramic museum showcasing the long history of potterymaking in Rønne for an exclusive Discovery Series event. Bornholm residents have been digging into the island s rich deposits of clay and creating unusual and whimsical pots, plates, and cups since the early 18th century. The Hjorth ceramic factory opened in 1858 and was operational for more than a century, before it shut down in Today, the museum (still run by the Hjorth family) houses ceramic artifacts from the early 18th century, pieces made when the factory was operational, and works done by modern-day Bornholm potters. Return to the ship for lunch onboard. The rest of the afternoon is yours to continue your discoveries. Perhaps you ll choose to visit one of the town s many clockmakers, a tradition dating back to The island was once known for its unique grandfather clocks until the craft disappeared after World War II. In recent years, the tradition has revived and the clocks hourly chimes can be heard singing throughout the streets. This evening, enjoy dinner onboard. Day 5 Gdynia, Poland / Amber Factory Visit / Home-Hosted Lunch / Gdansk After breakfast this morning, you ll dock in Gdansk and then transfer to Gdynia for an included tour of an amber factory, an exclusive Discovery Series event. The Baltic region is home to the world s largest deposit of amber, known specifically as Baltic amber (or colloquially as Polish gold in Poland). The amber or fossilized tree resin is 44 million years old around the Baltic Sea and is mined to make such things as jewelry, table lamps, and even furniture. The more valuable pieces have been known to contain species of now-extinct insects or plants. Next, you ll share a Home-Hosted Lunch with a local family before transferring back to Gdansk for a guided tour of the Stare Miasto (Old Town). Gdansk is a Polish city with a Baltic vibe that s been around for a millennium and has fluctuated between great prosperity and tragic destruction. Important Travel Notes: For your comfort and safety, we recommend this tour for individuals in good physical condition. If you have difficulty walking, this may be a difficult trip for you. We reserve the right to cancel this tour due to insufficient registration. Full refund will be given if tour is canceled due to insufficient registration. If traveling alone, we will match you up with a roommate (this tour is double occupancy only). Please read the What to Expect box on the next page carefully. If you have further questions, please contact the Southern Exposure office at (269) during regular business hours. While Gdańsk still shows its scars from the tumult of World War II, this unique city offers a wealth of architectural beauty and a myriad of activities. Wander past the town hall, where stands the Neptune Fountain, rumored to have once spouted Gdansk s trademark liqueur, Goldwasser, instead of water. You ll also marvel at the city s many gates including the Green Gate, the Golden Gate, and the Upland Gate and the Monument to the Fallen Shipyard Workers, three 138-foot-tall steel crosses at the entrance to the city s shipyard. A sudden spike in food costs in 1970 led to mass riots throughout northern Poland that left at least 40 dead and more than 1,000 wounded. The monument is the first to commemorate the victims of a communist regime. At the conclusion of your tour, you ll have time to further explore the city s Old Town. Perhaps you ll discover one of Gdansk s many cafés, bookstores, or shops (where you can admire examples of northern Poland s famed amber jewelry). 4

5 Later, you ll make your way to Katedra Oliwska, the Oliwa cathedral, for an organ concerto. The cathedral is the longest church in Poland and houses two organs a smaller choir organ, and the famed great organ one of the largest in the world. This evening, enjoy dinner onboard as your ship sails toward Visby, Sweden. Day 6 Visby, Sweden On Gotland Island, the city of Visby has existed for more than a thousand years, with its signature ringmur ( ringwall ) encircling the town since the 13th century. Reachable only by boat or plane, and beloved as a holiday destination for Swedes, the city of ruins and roses is rich with historical artifacts, earning it a designation as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Enjoy an included panoramic tour of Visby as its history unfolds before you, its hundreds of warehouses and merchant homes telling the story of its heyday as a major port between Russia and Western Europe for the Hanseatic League. Return to the Corinthian for an included lunch, then go ashore in Visby once more to make discoveries on your own, or stroll with your Program Director on a leisurely walk along the cobblestone streets. Enjoy dinner onboard as we cruise toward Riga, Latvia. Day 7 Riga, Latvia / Central Market Visit Set close to the mouth of the Daugava River, which travels from the Baltic Sea into Russia, Riga was historically an important trade port. Its prosperity also made it a target for conquest. Before Latvia declared itself an independent nation in 1918, Riga was claimed by Russia, Sweden, Lithuania, and Germany. As a diverse, thriving city with a prominent upper class, Riga experienced radical change under occupation by the Soviets and Nazis. Buildings from Riga s most prosperous eras particularly the Art Nouveau period still stand throughout the city, as you ll discover on a city tour by motorcoach and on foot. You ll enjoy special focus on the Art Nouveau era as you explore a district rich with facades from the early 20th-century period in which architecture became romantic, favoring natural and mythological embellishments. After lunch onboard, you may enjoy time ashore in Riga. Perhaps you ll visit Riga s Old Town, a dizzying collection of cobbled lanes, gargoyle-adorned buildings, and lovingly restored 17th-century architectural treasures under UNESCO World Heritage Site protection.

A wonderfully preserved city of the old Hanseatic League, this ancient walled port on the Baltic is a UNESCO World Heritage Site filled with remarkable fortresses, castles, and cathedrals. Medieval Tallinn had six gates, all bastion-forts complete with moats and drawbridges. You ll gain insight into Estonia s premier city during this morning s guided tour. Tallinn s Old Town is still encircled by city walls, punctuated with many stone towers rising above red-tiled roofs. Within the city walls, the streets remain much as they were when Danish rulers built them in the 13th century. This historic city center is divided into the Lower Town and the Upper Town. In the Lower Town, the 600-year-old Town Hall the best-preserved of its kind in northern Europe has a tower that presides dramatically over Town Hall Square (Raejoka plats). The Upper Town is on Toompea Hill, where two landmarks that originated in the 13th century still stand: Toompea Castle (now the meeting place for the Estonian Parliament) and the 6

7 Dome Church (Estonia s largest Lutheran sanctuary). Many of the city s historic buildings reflect the prosperity it enjoyed between the 14th and 16th centuries. Under German control, Tallinn flourished during these years as a trade port in the Hanseatic League. Later periods of Swedish and Russian rule also left their marks on Tallinn. After lunch aboard the Corinthian, you can set out independently to explore more of the city at your own pace. You may want to visit Kiek-in-de-Kok (Look-into-the- Kitchen), a bastion built in At the time, it was the tallest building in Estonia and earned its name because it was said that watchmen could peer into the kitchens of the houses below.

Here the 14thcentury Town Hall has been preserved almost intact in its original Gothic form, and still serves as the City Hall. This evening, enjoy dinner aboard ship with your friends.
