Description

An exciting health and wellness experience: regenerate your body in the stunning setting of a historic 14th-century residence

converted into an elegant hotel, with an invigorating walk in the forest in keeping with the philosophy of Nordic walking with an

instructor, followed by a relaxing and purifying sauna.

What we will see

A stop at the beautiful historic residence of Haikko Manor

Nordic walking with an instructor

Choose from basic or advanced level

Traditional sauna in a seaside cottage

Light refreshment

Sightseeing tour of Helsinki

Photo stop at the stunning Senate Square

What we will do

We arrive at the beautiful historic residence of Haikko Manor, now an elegant hotel that dates back to the 14th century and is

surrounded by wonderful grounds with large well-kept lawns and a real forest just behind it.

During our visit to Haikko Manor, we will have the opportunity to try a sporting activity typical of the northern regions: so-

called Nordic walking, which uses special walking sticks to which force must be applied with every step.

With the help of an instructor, we will choose the level most suitable for us, either basic, within reach of everyone, or

advanced, which also includes hillwalking. In both cases, we will breathe in the pure air of the forest deeply and reactivate our

body’s energy, immersing ourselves in contact with nature.

After the walk, we will enjoy a well-deserved relaxing break in a traditional sauna, built inside a pretty cottage just a few steps

from the sea, allowing the heat to purify us from toxins and give us a fabulous feeling of relaxation.

We cannot leave Haikko Manor before having enjoyed a light refreshment: there is no point ignoring our stomachs and all that

exercise will no doubt have made us a little peckish!

Our excursion will end with a sightseeing tour of Helsinki, discovering some of the capital’s most interesting sights.

We drive along Mannerheimintie, one of the main roads, and admire the Parliament building, setting of many crucial events in

the country’s national and political life.

Before returning to the ship, we make a photo stop in the scenic Senate Square, overlooked by the stunning Lutheran

Cathedral, an imposing Neoclassical building completely finished in white marble.

This excursion includes a guide for every 20 guests.

We recommend that you book early because only a limited number of places are available.

perfect to tackle uneven ground. We tour the park heights as we explore nature.

After the exciting activity, we have some free time available inside the park to enjoy this natural marvel as we please or to take

advantage of this break to sip a hot beverage at the Café.

What we will do

After setting off from Helsinki port, we will pass a series of monuments of national historical interest: the Parliament, the

National Museum, the new Opera House, the Olympic Stadium, built in 1952, and Finlandia Hall, a unique conference and

events centre designed by the famous architect Alvar Aalto, who was also responsible for the church in Riola di Vergato

(Bologna) in the 1970s

We will admire the beautiful Finnish countryside en route to the ancient town of Porvoo, following a panoramic road along the

coast.

Porvoo is the second oldest town in Finland and is a gem of Finnish architectural history, particularly in the residential area of

Old Porvoo, a picturesque neighbourhood built on a hill near the Porvoonjoki River. The houses were built in keeping with

medieval ideas about urban planning and represent the harmonious coexistence of old and new. Porvoo's symbol is its

charming red houses built on the river bank; they were once warehouses where goods, products and exotic delicacies from

distant lands were kept.

We will take a stroll through the historic centre, full of shops selling local delicacies and handicrafts. For example, the depots

near the former station are home to a shop that is impossible to leave empty handed: gifts, souvenirs, local handicrafts,

organic food and cakes, all top-quality, so much so that it is considered by many to be a tourist attraction in its own right!

We will set off once again for Helsinki, passing through the beautiful countryside.

The trip to Porvoo will be approximately 1 hour.

Sibelius Park, Passio Musicae

What we will do

Once we have left the port, we will head towards Senate Square and then on to Market Square and Kaivopuisto Park, the

oldest and most famous park in Helsinki that is extremely popular with locals.

Along the Mannerheimintie, we will visit the Lutheran church of Temppeliaukio, the Rock Church, a modern masterpiece built

inside a rocky hill, an unmissable example of rock architecture.

The Mannerheimintie is rightly considered Helsinki's main street. Staying on it throughout, we will be able to see: the

Parliament, the scene of many crucial moments in the political life of the nation, the National Museum, Finlandia Hall, an

important conference centre that plays host to all kinds of events and is well-known for its famous architect Alvar Aalto, and

finally the new Opera House.

Passing the Olympic Stadium, famous for hosting the 1952 Olympics, we will finally reach the controversial Passio Musicae, a

monument dedicated to the Finnish composer Jean Sibelius and an abstract structure made of 600 empty steel tubes that

resemble organ pipes. The meaning behind this monument is still very much up for discussion among the Finns: there are

those who say that the sculptor Eila Hiltunen intended to recall the Northern Lights; others think it looks like ice crystals, some

think it is a giant organ, while others find references to Nordic forests in it. It appears that the artist had no particular intention

in mind, and, while commemorating the life and works of Sibelius, she also wanted visitors to be able to bring their own

meaning to the work.

Before returning to the ship, we will have some free time for shopping.

100 years. In a green country oasis , we stop to enjoy a few typical local products - home-made cakes, soft fruit and a cup of

coffee or tea - and experience the emotion of Finish rural life as told by the family who has been running the estate for three

generations.

We make our way back to Helsinki through the lovely rural landscape. As we drive through the village of Sipoo, we can admire

the small church of St. Sigfried and its cemetery dating back to Late Medieval times. Built in the 15th century, the church was

a meeting place for the families of sailors who would offer up prayers for their safe return.

We recommend that you book early because only a limited number of places are available.

Rivers and canals of St. Petersburg

A glimpse of the most significant monuments

What we will do

We will set off on our cruise of the city's rivers and canals to avoid the rush-hour traffic and we will admire the most significant

monuments from a privileged viewpoint. The canals actually help to create a unique atmosphere as they reflect the city's

golden domes and fairy-tale buildings.

Known across the world as the 'Venice of the North' because of its geographic, structural and architectural resemblance to the

magnificent Italian city on the lagoon, St. Petersburg is the most important port in Russia and is one of Europe's main cultural

hubs. The city was built over 42 islands and was developed around a complex network and canals and rivers (69 in total)

stretching 300 km. These canals also mark the borders of the different districts. St. Petersburg's classic low-rise architecture

often allows the incredible city views to be enjoyed from the water.

Sailing along the water, we will learn about the history of thriving imperial Russia, when St. Petersburg was the capital, and

admire the various buildings, monuments and architectural styles that typify the different periods.

Space is limited, so please reserve early.

The boat has indoor and outdoor seats. In the case of adverse weather conditions, you are advised to wear suitable clothing.

In case of bad weather conditons, for safety reasons, the cruise will be conducted only along the Neva River (not entering

smaller rivers and channels) or cancelled and replaced by a panoramic tour of the city.

This tour is not suitable for wheelchairs.

What we will do

We will begin our tour hopping on-board the coach in the city centre: we will pass in front of Saint Isaac's Cathedral, boasting a

Neoclassical style and a 21.8 metre gold dome making it the tallest cathedral in the world, and the Bronze Horseman, a

monument dedicated to Peter the Great, standing at 6 metres and resting on an enormous granite monolithic stone. The

square surrounding the monument (Senate Square, also known as Decembrist Square) is a favourite spot amongst couples

getting married to take photos.

From here, we will set off on our walk along the Admiralty and, from the area opposite the Neva River, we can admire the

State University (founded in 1724 upon the order of Tsar Peter the Great of Russia, and one of the oldest and most

prestigious universities in Russia), the Academy of Sciences and the Kunstkamera, also known as the 'Chamber of curiosities',

a name preferred by Peter the Great to describe his collection of anatomical preparations and scientific instruments.

We will continue our tour with a visit to Palace Square (one of St. Petersburg's main squares and theatre in 1917 at the end

of the Russian Revolution) and walk along Nevsky thoroughfare St. Petersburg's main road, which is 4 km long, which crosses

the city from the Admirality to the Alexander Nevski monastery, the heart of the shopping area and is flanked by elegant

buildings, amongst which the Winter Palace. From here, we will arrive at the Gostiny Dvor metro station.

The last stage on our tour includes an unmissable tour of the famous subway of St. Petersburg, also called 'metro' in Russian.

Initial plans overseeing the creation of the metro date back to 1899, but were not implemented owing to the Russian

Revolution of 1917 and the outbreak of the Second World War. In 1941, when works began, the then USSR was due to join

the war and works were suspended, and resumed at the end of the conflict. The first line opened on the 15 November 1955

and linked up the city's 5 railway stations. From the moment it was opened, it was acclaimed as one of the best in the world,

not only owing to efficiency and cleanliness, but also for its architecture. It is presently one of the fastest, safest and most

comfortable modes of transport in the world. Most stations are equipped with lifts; the older stations have been richly

decorated with coloured granite, various colour marble, stainless steel, bronze, aluminium, synthetic materials, glass, various

mosaics, bas reliefs and sculptures, whilst newer stations boast a modern and simple design, which are however just as

striking. Every station is unique in this sense. The metropolitan of St. Petersburg is also one of the deepest in the world, with

some stations excavated at more than 100 metres deep.

Tallinn city centre

Maarjamäe memorial

What we will do

Once off the ship, we are welcomed by comrade Jerjomin from the Soviet militia or by his assistant with the typical attitude of

frontier soldiers in charge of disembarkations.

Fully identified with his role, he shows us with great realism how tourists were treated in the USSR - everyone had to queue

for passport checks, was scrutinized with a frown and was subjected to a myriad of overly-suspicious questions.

We board an authentic Soviet coach taking us back in time as our guide Jerjomin clears his throat with a gulp of vodka and a

few pickles!

We stop by the Suur Tõll Icebreaker anchored in the port and now a museum. From here, we can observe the outline of the

old Soviet prison bearing unsettling memories of the regime. Jerjomin cheers up the atmosphere with some fun anecdotes

about everyday life in Soviet times with episodes taken from his personal experience as well as interesting considerations on

Estonia’s USSR heritage.

Once back on our coach, we cross the historic city centre of Tallinn, which preserves its Medieval charm intact, thanks also to

a skilful restoration of its architectural gems.

We reach the Maarjamäe Memorial which started out as a German war cemetery and was then turned by the Soviets into a

memorial for those killed during the Second World War.

As we look around, we enjoy a Soviet snack on our coach - Jerjomin offers us a slice of cake and a typical local beverage that

reminds him of his youth.

On the way back, our fun guide teaches us old Soviet songs and a few words in Estonian before bidding us farewell when we

reach the port.

Minimum age: 4 years.

The coach is a period vehicle on which we are served a Soviet snack.

Description

An unforgettable excursion in close contact with nature among lakes and swamps aboard evocative military trucks dating back to

Soviet times and on foot with special shoes as far as a clearing for a picnic like true adventurers.

What we will see

Kõrvemaa nature reserve

Adventure on old military trucks

Kõnnu swamps

Walk with special shoes as far as the watchtower

Walkway itinerary to the Järvi lakes

Picnic by the fire

Sightseeing coach tour of Tallinn

What we will do

We leave the port behind us on a coach headed to the Kõrvemaa nature reserve, a vast area covered in forest and swamps

that was mainly destined to military training in Soviet times and was therefore inaccessible to the public.

We stop at the base camp and, from there, continue on old military trucks along winding trails through the forest while our

adrenaline increases and as we take in the landscape appearing before our eyes.

We then reach the Kõnnu swamps, where we put on our special wide shoes that enable us to walk on the soft boggy terrain

for about two kilometres as far as the watchtower where we can admire the enchanting scenery characterised by a succession

of marshes and low pine vegetation.

We continue our walking tour along the wooden walkway across the swamp as far as the Järvi lakes where we can enjoy a

well-deserved break with a delicious picnic by the fire with a warm soup, tea/coffee and barbecued sausages.

After this relaxing break, we get back on the trucks to reach the coach taking us on a sightseeing tour of the Tallinn city centre

, characterised by an irresistible Medieval charm, before getting back to the ship.

Description

A fun walk to discover the gems and mysteries of Tallinn, a magnificent Medieval city with an irresistible charm consisting of ancient

legends, alleged ghosts, majestic palaces and picturesque views to end with a fun marzipan workshop for adults and children: our

creation will become the perfect souvenir to take home!

What we will see

Tallinn old city

Stroll around the city centre

St. Nicholas' Church

Raekoja square, City Hall, Raeapteek

Marzipan workshop

Marzipan creation

St Catherine's Passage: artisan workshops

What we will do

A coach takes us to Tallinn’s old city as the imposing outline of the Medieval castle with its fairy-tale towers appears before our

eyes.

We get off the coach in Tallinn's Lower Part, on the banks of the ancient moat which offers a lovely view of the Toompea hill

where the ancient heart of the Estonian capital is perched.

We venture on foot to the heart of the historic city centre where we can admire some of the city’s hidden gems such as a

charming building believed to be haunted and the setting of mysterious legends.

We continue our pleasant walk by admiring the exterior of St. Nicholas' Church dating back to the 13th century. Originally a

fortress, it is now also a museum or religious art as well as an auditorium.

We thus reach Raekoja square with its 14th-century Gothic City Hall and Raeapteek, the oldest pharmacy in the Baltic area

that has been functioning uninterruptedly since 1422.

After this adventurous walk, we enjoy a fun break in a marzipan workshop. The guide explains that Tallinn was the first

European city to produce marzipan centuries ago, first as a medicinal product and then as a delicacy.

We are given a piece of marzipan to model in whatever shape we like: an animal, fruit or whatever takes our fancy. Children

love to make a mess, and adults are just the same!

After creating our masterpiece, we liven it up withfood colourings to make it even more beautiful. Before leaving the

We start from T-Centralen, the main hub for the various lines. The blue line is a coloured grotto with enchanting flower

drawings and outlines of men at work. We then reach Stadion, located near the Olympic Stadium and characterised by

colourful elements as well as a rainbow near the platform.

We continue our tour as far as Östermalmstorg, where we surface to enjoy a snack in the Östermalmshallen, a magnificent

covered market.

buildings with Baroque doors.

We cross Stortorget, the centre’s main square around which the city grew in the 1300s. It is home to the Stock Exchange

Building, the headquarters of the Nobel Museum and the Swedish Academy, among others.

We take a peek at the narrowest alleyway in Stockholm called Mårten Trotzigs gränd, which climbs up with 36 steps that are

Description

We have the opportunity to spend an afternoon with the entire family: visit Junibacken, where characters from famous tales such as

Pippi Longstocking are brought back to life, or the open-air Skansen museum, where adults and children alike can discover how

people lived centuries ago.

What we will see

Junibacken cultural centre

Fairy-tale train and house of Pippi Longstocking

Open-air Skansen museum

Small zoo and activities for children

What we will do

We leave the port on our coach and reach the two most popular family attractions in Stockholm: Junibacken and the open-air

Skansen museum. We have two and a half hours to enjoy the attraction we prefer!

At Junibacken, we enter a fairy-tale world inspired by the stories written by Astrid Lindgren, who invented extraordinary

characters such as Pippi Longstocking.

Right at the entrance, we find ourselves in Fairy-tale Square surrounded by old street lights and inhabited by characters

popular with children. We get on board the fairy-tale train, which takes us on an extraordinary journey through the tales

written by Astrid Lingdren and experience the emotions she can provoke: laughter and tears, amusement and fear.

We enter a perfect recreation of Pippi Longstocking’s house: we can play in her kitchen, go upstairs to see her bedroom or

take a photo with her white horse with black polka-dots.

Before leaving this enchanted place, we have some free time available to take a peek at the largest children’s bookshop in

Sweden or go to the café, decorated in the rustic style of days gone by and offering lovely views of the sea.

Alternatively, we can choose the open-air Skansen museum, the first-ever of its kind with houses and farms from all over the

country reproducing a miniature-version of Sweden and illustrating life and working conditions of the past.

The museum is also has a small zoo with wild animals from Nordic regions such as wolves, elks, seals and otters, in addition to

numerous local species of historical interest part of protection plans.

The museum is very interesting for adults and fun for children: in Skansen, everything is designed for children, who can ride a

which began to take shape in the 13th Century and remained the primary centre of activities up until the 19th Century; here,

in an atmosphere soaked in history, we walk along the winding roads, alongside which characteristic Medieval buildings, stand.

We reach the magnificent island of Djurgården, a former royal hunting reserve that is now an idyllic place for wonderful walks

with many museums just a stone’s throw from the city centre. It is also the location of the main destination of our tour: the

ABBA museum, dedicated to the legendary platform boot and sequin jumpsuit-wearing band that revolutionised pop music

between 1972 and 1983.

The museum displays objects and peculiarities such as stage clothes in a modern interactive exhibition with footage from their

shows and interviews with the four band members. The ticket given at the entrance generates a page on the museum website

where we can download our live performance: we become pop stars for a day in a booth where we can dance and sing

We then enjoy a coach sightseeing tour through the Diplomatstaden residential district, characterised by luxurious villas,

embassies and homes surrounded by greenery, and the elegant Östermalm quarter.

Our last stop is Fjällgatan, one of the most characteristic streets in Stockholm lined by old wooden houses and lapped by the

waters of Lake Mälaren, beyond which we can admire (and obviously take a picture of) a magnificent panoramic view of the

city.

Description

A fascinating itinerary introducing us to the oldest district in Stockholm where the original city began to take shape in the 13th

century. We'll walk along its narrow streets lined with magnificent historic residences and visit what is without doubt the area's most

important building: the Royal Palace.

What we will see

Gamla Stan

Royal Palace

Storkyrkan (external visit)

Stortorget

Stock Exchange Building

What we will do

Our tour takes us to the historic centre of the magnificent Scandinavian capital, Gamla Stan or Old City. We'll be fascinated by

the characteristic little streets and delightful cobbled squares of the Stockholm residents' preferred location for meeting,

eating out, shopping or simply taking a walk.

At the end of one of these narrow streets we can see the enormous, imposing Royal Palace, built in the 18th century on the

same site as the 13th century Vasa fortress which was destroyed by fire in 1697. The current complex, the official residence

of the Swedish monarchy, is made up of a series of robust stone buildings in baroque style comprising over 600 rooms.

Our tour allows us to access the Palace and visit the Apartments with their magnificent baroque and rococo interiors, fully

admiring this highly important historical and cultural monument, one of the most fascinating royal palaces in Europe.

At the end of the visit to the Royal Palace an enjoyable tour of the Old Town awaits. Walking through its typical narrow streets,

we'll breathe in the bohemian atmosphere, admiring the characteristic residences dating back to the 15th and 16th centuries,

adorned with baroque gateways and old heraldic shields. We'll also take the opportunity to shop in the numerous boutiques,

galleries, antiques shops and craftsmen's workshops.

Unmissable sights include the oldest church in Gamla Stan, the cathedral known as Storkyrkan or Big Church, near the Royal

Palace. The church has always been the site of major events in Swedish history, such as coronations and royal weddings and

funerals.

Behind it is the main square of the Old City, Stortorget, or Large Square, around which the city developed in the 1300s.

Among others, it is home to the Stock Exchange Building, the headquarters of the Nobel Museum and the Swedish Academy.
