The city owes much of its charm to the buildings erected by Denmark s monarchs and boasts a treasure trove of late-renaissance and Rococo architecture. Copenhagen, known as the Venice of the North, was founded on a series of islands and islets. The city is laced with graceful canals and boasts some of the most delightful architecture in Northern Europe. Monday, July 17 - Oslo, Norway Forest-clad slopes plummet to an island-studded fjord. Welcome to Oslo, Scandinavia s oldest capital city. The commercial center of Norway, Oslo has been a major trading port for over a millennium. Its harbor is crowded with vessels ranging from cruise ships to working shrimp boats. Though a relatively modest city in size - some 550,000 Norwegians call it home - Oslo is one of the largest capital cities in the world in terms of area. The hills and lakes of its outlying countryside are a paradise for lovers of winter sports. And the city itself boasts a sophisticated, yet cozy charm, with a blend of 19th- and 20th-century buildings, many decorated with woodcarvings and bright frescoes, and wide avenues dotted with public squares and parks. Tuesday, July 18 - Day at sea Wednesday, July 19 - Warnemunde, Germany Experience an optional tour to Berlin. The city is a worthy rival to London or Paris in terms of history, art and culture. The city s highlights include the restored Reichstag Building with its magnificent glass dome, the Brandenburg Gate and the stunning Museum Island. Explore the old Cold War hot spots and view the Brandenburg Gate, restored to its original magnificence, or stroll along the Kurfurstendamm and take coffee in a local café. Warnemünde is a seaside resort near the harbor entrance to Rostock, one of the city-states that formed the medieval Hanseatic League. Originally a fishing village before it became a spa and resort in the 19th century, Warnemünde is also your gateway to Mecklenburg and the German countryside. Thursday, July 20 - Day at sea Friday, July 21 Tallinn, Estonia: Like Latvia and Lithuania, the Baltic republic of Estonia has survived a turbulent history. The small nation was conquered and ruled by Teutonic knights, Polish princes and Russian czars. For 51 years, Estonia remained a pawn in the Soviet empire, until the burgeoning freedom movement

Once a member of the historic Hanseatic League, Tallinn is the political, commercial and cultural center of Estonia. Saturday, July 22 and Sunday, July 23 St Petersburg, Russia has provided a historic stage since the day Peter the Great ordained its construction. In its relatively short history - the city is younger than New York - St. Petersburg has witnessed the rise and fall of Imperial Russia, three shattering revolutions and civil war. The city survived a long and tragic siege during World War II - indeed St. Petersburg became a symbol of Russian resistance to Nazi invasion. Russia s Window on the West, St. Petersburg remains one of the world s most beautiful metropolises. Perched on the banks of the Neva, the city is crisscrossed by canals. Two great architects helped bring Peter the Great s vision of St. Petersburg to life: Rastrelli and Carlo Rossi. Monday, July 24 Helsinki, Finland: Perhaps their country s harsh climate encouraged the Finns love and respect for design and the arts. Whatever the cause, there s no denying that Helsinki is one of the most vibrant and beautiful cities in Scandinavia. Hailed as the Daughter of the Baltic, Finland s capital is a city of graceful neoclassical buildings, striking modern architecture and spacious boulevards dotted with squares and parks. In the past century, Finland has nurtured some of the major creative talents of Western culture, from the composer Sibelius to architects Eliel & Eero Saarinen and Alvar Aalto. Tuesday, July 25 Stockholm, Sweden is often described as the Capital of Scandinavia. Stockholm traces its origins back seven centuries, when it was founded on the island of Gamla Stan and became the capital of Sweden. Today, the city covers 14 separate islands connected by bays, channels and inlets. The skyline is a sea of copper roofs grown green with patina; towers, spires and graceful cupolas stand sentinel over the historic Old Town (Gamla Stan). With its population of nearly one million people, Stockholm is one of the world s most beautiful, clean and orderly cities. With a history stretching over seven centuries, Stockholm is not just a beautiful city but also Sweden s center of art and culture. Wednesday, July 26 - Thursday, July 27 Copenhagen, Denmark and depart for US
