Explore the natural sites and cities steeped in the history of the Baltic Sea on this 8-day voyage to Sweden, Finland, Russia, Estonia and Denmark aboard the luxury ship Le Boreal. Architectural gems in the Baroque style, churches with domes so elaborate they seem otherworldly, palaces, fountains, gardens, canals, and the famous "perspectives" that crisscross the city: at each street corner a new theatrical decor is revealed. Visit colorful St. Petersburg, where the atmosphere is rich with the splendor of the Tsars and the traces of the Russian Enlightenment.

Involves minimal physical effort and is typically associated with leisurely activities. Activities are low-intensity or last less than a few hours each day.
Capital of Estonia, Tallinn is brimming with history and secrets. This great metropolis was particularly active in the medieval period and has preserved some beautiful monuments from that time. You can lose yourself in the heart of this city which is a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Capital of the Russian Empire from 1712 to its collapse in 1917, St. Petersburg has preserved a truly unique ensemble of architecture from this period, making it one of the most beautiful capitals in Europe. There is so much to see here: Pavlovski Palace (the Tsar's summer residence), Peter and Paul Fortress, the Pushkin Museum, the magnificent Saint Isaac’s Cathedral, and of course the world-renowned Hermitage Museum where more than three million items are on display. The pomp and ceremony of the Tsars still hang in the air of this UNESCO World Heritage site.
Helsinki is known as the “daughter of the Baltic”, and this superb port city and cultural capital possesses great historical treasures. With its blend of European, Scandinavian, and Russian influences, Helsinki is a city of contrasts. The different architectural styles are the perfect reflection of the multicultural past of the country and its capital. Discover the Lutheran temple of Temppeliaukion that was dug from the rocks, Finlandia Hall, the palace of Concerts, designed by Aalto or the magnificent Orthodox cathedral. A city that literally lies on water, Helsinki is surrounded by numerous islands, some of which are fortified, such as Soumenlinna.
Day 8: Disembark in Stockholm, Sweden
1 Breakfast
Disembark in Stockholm, built on 14 islands at the point where Lake Mälar flows into the Baltic Sea. A harmonious blend of tradition and new trends, Stockholm manages to combine futuristic town planning in the heart of natural surroundings. The old town “Gamla Stan” in Swedish is a maze of cobbled streets and alleyways lined with typical houses, their facades painted different colors, and is a lovely place to go for a stroll.

The trip was terrific with great planning on your part. Most of the adventures were not mainstream and somewhat off the beaten path which made it especially enjoyable!! We felt taken care of and you all were readily available to respond to questions and issues. I would highly recommend your company and friends have already expressed interest based on our pictures and excitement.
Be sure to sign up for all the tours, otherwise you will be sitting on the boat since not all stops are moored at a dock. Some are anchored.

There were two best aspects to our trip:
1. The Adventure Life folks and the folks in Athens and Crete who supported our itinerary, guided us, and ran the cooking program were all superb.
2. Everything they all planned for us went without a hitch. When we needed a bit of help, they came through with really good answers.
We became aware of AL from a friend who had an excellent experience in a different location. So did we. We can recommend AL without reservation.

We have used AL for decades now to plan trips. Kassandra has been with us from the start and has never disappointed. She knows our family and our quirks and is always willing to fit the trip to us. This time we made her work for the booking because of family member schedules. It has all come together for a great Christmas gift for many families.
