Trendsetter Travel & Cruise Centre welcomes you joining us on this spectacular 11 night

Copenhagen to Stockholm cruise, including 2 nights pre cruise in Copenhagen and 2 nights post

courses. In addition, our tour

offers golf in Germany and

Poland and an additional

Day 3 – Friday 3 July 2020 – Board Crystal Serenity – Overnight in Copenhagen

afternoon. However, for the golf enthusiasts, there is a chance to golf this morning at The New

Course at The Scandanavian Golf Club with a transfer following golf direct to Crystal Symphony. For

non-golfers today, you should make your own way independently to the Copenhagen Cruise

terminal to board at your convenience or transfer with the golf group to the cruise terminal.

Sea.

Day 5 – Sunday 5 July 2020 – Warnemunde – Germany – in port from 7 am to 9 pm - Golf

Today we berth in Warnemunde, the port for Berlin. While the drive to Berlin takes 3 hours, a visit

to Berlin is still an attractive option particularly for those who have never visited Berlin. Berlin is one

of the most interesting cities in Europe with a famous history and many fascinating sights,

particularly since the fall of the Berlin Wall and subsequent reunification of East and West Germany

Golf: Play today is on the Eikhof Championship Course at Ostee Golf Resort at Wittenbeck, a 35

minute drive out of Warnemunde. Following our return from golf, there is still plenty of time to visit

British architect, Cameron Sinclair. It is

Helsinki is a fascinating city to explore either independently or on a ship’s tour. The city and its

shopping precinct is but a short walk from where Crystal Symphony will berth. There are two

military history museums worth visiting to experience Finland’s turbulent past including its famous

Winter War with Russia in late 1939/early 1940 when Finland put up a heroic defence following its

unprovoked attack by Russia.

Golf: Today we travel 60 minutes north of Helsinki to play the # 1 course in Finland, Kytaja Golf Club

For many, Estonia is a new country to visit. Within walking distance of the cruise terminal, is the

historic city of Tallinn, the capital of Estonia. This medieval town centre is a must to visit for those

not golfing.

Golf Club, one of Estonia’s expanding number of golf clubs. It has been voted the # 1 course in

Estonia for the past 3 years.

the Jack Nicklaus re-designed (2013) course

and host of many European PGA tour

events, including the 1985 event won by

ranked in the top 5 golf courses in Sweden

and with Bro Hof Slott, it is one of the top

2 golf courses in Stockholm. A surcharge of

Euro 75 pp applies.

Day 14 – Tuesday 14 July 2020 – disembark from 8 am - Stockholm

For those taking the Stockholm extension, you will be transferred by coach to one of Stockholm’s

leading 4 to 5 star hotels and have a free day to explore the wonderful city of Stockholm. This may

include walking down to the historic Gamla Stan section of the city or visiting the interesting ABBA

museum. Alternatively, just walking around the city is a great experience with the many outdoor

cafes to enjoy a coffee, beer or wine. You are visiting Stockholm at the best time and can expect day

time temperatures in the mid 20 degree range with daylight hours extending until after 10 pm.
