Lektor Quintessential Collection Included Cruise Package
Created specially for like-minded travellers.
Featuring presentations and discussions aboard with author and contributing writer to The New Yorker Robin Wright, former U.S. Ambassador to NATO and former Deputy National Security Advisor Ambassador Douglas Lute, and Special Advisor to the Secretary-General of the United Nations and former Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security Jane Holl Lute, this voyage offers an extraordinary opportunity to talk with these leading thinkers and actors on the world stage about the current state of U.S. relations with the wider world.
To further our understanding of the recent political history that helped shape the Baltic region, join us for a specially arranged, exclusive presentation and discussion aboard with former President of Poland and Nobel Peace Prize-winner Lech Wałęsa while in Szczecin, Poland.
The Baltic Sea has been a thoroughfare of trade since the days of the Vikings. We will visit the great cities that ring its shores and experience a comingling of cosmopolitan life with centuries of rich history. Stockholm offers a chance to see the stunning Royal Palace and to visit the Vasa Museum, which features the 17th-century Vasa warship, rescued from the bottom of the sea after 333 years and lovingly restored. Two full days are spent in St. Petersburg—arguably the most magnificent city on the Baltic where virtually the entire city is designated a UNESCO World Heritage site. Szczecin, a city nearly destroyed during World War II, is home to the Castle of the Dukes of Pomerania, which was completely rebuilt, and its interior restored, following the war as a testament to the city’s resilience. On Gotland—the largest island in the Baltic Sea—we stop at the beautifully preserved medieval town of Visby, once a stronghold of the Hanseatic League. Tallinn is one of the best-preserved medieval towns in all of Europe, while Helsinki is internationally recognized for its striking modern architecture.

Lech Wałęsa
Lech Wałęsa is the legendary leader of the “Solidarity” movement and the author of its victory in 1989 over the communist regime in Poland.
Wałęsa was born on 29 October 1943. First mention of his activity in the anti-communist opposition originates from 1968 when Wałęsa, then a young electrician in the Gdansk Shipyard, tried to persuade his colleagues not to take part in the mass meetings organized by the Polish government to condemn student strikes. He then became actively engaged in public affairs, taking part in the work of the Strike Committee in December 1970.
After the death of many protesters shot by police forces suppressing strikes in December 1970, Wałęsa, realizing he cannot allow the situation to repeat itself, engaged himself in the Free Trade Unions. He was responsible for organizing workers and educating laborers on their rights.
In August 1980 Wałęsa was one of the organizers of the strike in the Gdansk Shipyard. His bravery resulted in unyielding negotiations and the struggle for the realization of protester demands. Wałęsa’s activity led to a bloodless victory and the foundation of “Solidarity,” the first independent and oppositional social movement in the Soviet bloc.
The success of “Solidarity” and Wałęsa as its leader, now recognized around the world, resulted in a fierce reaction by the communist regime. On 13 December 1981, in an attempt to suppress political opposition, martial law was introduced. “Solidarity” was quickly delegalized and Wałęsa interned.
Martial law caused many to lose hope for freedom, but Wałęsa did not consider surrender. His belief in the idea of solidarity was stronger than the repression of the regime. This commitment was recognized by the global community in 1983 when he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
In 1989 Wałęsa was the leader of the oppositional delegation during the Round Table Talks. Although relatively weak, the Polish regime was still dangerous. Wałęsa’s courage led to compromise with the communist authorities. The election of 4 July 1989 was a great success for the opposition and resulted in the formation of the first noncommunist cabinet in the Soviet bloc.
On 22 December 1990 Wałęsa was elected president of free Poland. During and after his presidency he remained engaged in public life as an advocate of Poland around the world. He strongly supported Poland’s accession to NATO and the EU. In 1995 he founded the Lech Wałęsa Institute. Its aim is to popularize the achievement of “Solidarity,” educate young generations, and support democracy and the creation of civil society in Poland and around the world.
Today Wałęsa continues his mission of promoting the idea of solidarity. Around the world, he speaks about Poland’s bloodless transition towards peace and democracy as a role model for different nations and calls for a world based on universal values and peaceful cooperation.
In 1989, Wałęsa was awarded the highest US decoration for foreigners, the Medal of Freedom.

Pass the Palace Square, the main square of the city, beautifully balanced around the Alexander Column. On the northern side of the square stands the picturesque Baroque Winter Palace, former imperial residence.
Drive across the Neva River and view the Spit of Vasilyevsky Island flanked by two columns, originally lighthouses guiding ships through the busy port of Saint Petersburg. In front of you is the Peter and Paul Fortress, the first structure of the city. The fortress was turned into a political prison.

The State Hermitage Museum
3 h 45
The collection of works in the renowned State Hermitage Museum is one of the richest in the world. The museum was founded in 1764 as a private museum of Catherine the Great, to which only she and her closest courtiers had access, and is now Russia’s largest art museum, housing around three million pieces. The collection occupies four buildings, including the Small Hermitage, the Old Hermitage, and the New Hermitage, all connected to the magnificent Winter Palace, the former official residence of the imperial family, designed by Rastrelli and built between 1754 and 1762. Here view the Malachite Room, where more than two tons of this unique, deep green, ornamental stone was used to craft its columns, vases, and fireplace. As you walk the halls, marvel at exhibits of 15th to 16th-century French art, as well as impressionist works.
In the Small Hermitage, explore works of 17th-century Flemish art and 15th and 16th-century Dutch art.

Not to be missed are the museum’s vast Rembrandt and Rubens collections, including one of Rembrandt’s final works, The Return of the Prodigal Son.
Enjoy a special early-opening guided tour of the collection, with transportation to and from the museum by coach.

Panoramic tour & Peter and Paul Fortress
4 h 00
From the pier, board the coach and start your panoramic tour with a stop at St. Isaac's Square, dominated by the majestic St. Isaac’s Cathedral with the 4th largest dome in the world. In the centre of the Square, you can see a monument to Nicholas the First.
Pass the Palace Square, the main square of the city, beautifully balanced around the Alexander Column. On the northern side of the square stands the picturesque Baroque Winter Palace, former imperial residence.
Drive across the Neva River and view the Spit of Vasilyevsky Island flanked by two columns, originally lighthouses guiding ships through the busy port of Saint Petersburg. In front of you is the Peter and Paul Fortress, the first structure of the city. The fortress was turned into a political prison. Throughout its history, the fortress held such famous prisoners as the celebrated writer Dostoevsky, participants in the 1825 Decembrist uprising, and political activists Maxim Gorky and Leon Trotsky, as well as the elder brother of Vladimir Lenin.
In the centre of the fortress, you will find the Peter and Paul Cathedral, designed by Domenico Tresini. This magnificent church was built between 1713-1732, and it is still the highest point of Saint Petersburg, dominating its skyline. Enjoy an inside visit of the fortress.
The coach drives past the Artillery Museum and passes along the city side where Art Nouveau architecture flourished at the end of the 19th century. You then pass the Field of Mars and the Marble Palace before arriving at the Church of Our Savior on Spilled Blood. This marvellous old Russian-style church was constructed on the spot where Emperor Alexander II was assassinated in 1881.
Before returning to the ship, you pass along Nevsky Prospect, Russia's most famous street. It is lined with magnificent palaces, churches and theatrical buildings.
• This tour involves approximately 1 mile (1,5 km) of walking over cobblestones. We recommend you wear comfortable walking shoes.

The State Hermitage Museum
3 h 45
The collection of works in the renowned State Hermitage Museum is one of the richest in the world. The museum was founded in 1764 as a private museum of Catherine the Great, to which only she and her closest courtiers had access, and is now Russia’s largest art museum, housing around three million pieces. The collection occupies four buildings, including the Small Hermitage, the Old Hermitage, and the New Hermitage, all connected to the magnificent Winter Palace, the former official residence of the imperial family, designed by Rastrelli and built between 1754 and 1762. Here view the Malachite Room, where more than two tons of this unique, deep green, ornamental stone was used to craft its columns, vases, and fireplace. As you walk the halls, marvel at exhibits of 15th to 16th-century French art, as well as impressionist works.
In the Small Hermitage, explore works of 17th-century Flemish art and 15th and 16th-century Dutch art. In the Old Hermitage, discover Italian art from the 13th through 18th centuries, including works by da Vinci, Rafael, Michelangelo, and Titian. Proceed to the New Hermitage, and explore works from Spain’s golden age, including those by El Greco, Velasquez, and Goya. Not to be missed are the museum’s vast Rembrandt and Rubens collections, including one of Rembrandt’s final works, The Return of the Prodigal Son.
Enjoy a special early-opening guided tour of the collection, with transportation to and from the museum by coach.
• There are some steps to navigate in the museum, but there are also elevators. We recommend you wear comfortable walking shoes.
