Entdecken Sie im Herzen der Ostsee symbolträchtige Städte und Hauptstädte zwischen Geschichte und prachtvollen Landschaften. Lassen Sie sich während dieser 9-tägigen Kreuzfahrt an Bord der Le Champlain von den atemberaubenden Panoramen Nordeuropas verzaubern.
Während Ihrer gesamten Reise profitieren Sie von einem bereits im Reisepreis inkludierten Landausflug pro Anlaufhafen und Person. Besuchen Sie auf dieser Kreuzfahrt Danzig und lassen Sie sich von einem Chopin-Konzert verzaubern, in Tallinn können Sie eine Vorführung estnischer Folklore erleben oder durchstreifen Sie Saaremaa und entdecken Sie die Schätze des Kulturerbes und der Architektur.. Die Vielfalt der angebotenen Erlebnisse verspricht ebenso intensive wie abwechslungsreiche Momente (gesamtes Angebot unter dem Reiter „Reiseroute" einsehbar).
Ihre Kreuzfahrt beginnt in Helsinki. Finnlands grüne Hauptstadt auf einer von 300 Inseln umgebenen Halbinsel besticht durch ihre Jugendstil-Architektur.
Als Erstes steht ein Besuch von Tallinn auf dem Fahrplan, eine emblematische Stadt der Hanse, dieses mächtigen Städte- und Handelsbundes, der über mehrere Jahrhunderte die Ostsee beherrschte. Diese ehemals sehr reichen Handelsstädte besitzen bemerkenswert gut erhaltene Stadtmauern, öffentliche Bauwerke, Zunfthäuser und Lagergebäude und zählen heute zum UNESCO-Weltkulturerbe.
Auf Saaremaa, der größten Insel Estlands, tauchen Sie in die reiche Geschichte dieser Region ein. Zuerst wurde sie von den Wikingern erobert, dann wurde die Insel dänisch und schwedisch, bevor sie vom Russischen Reich eingenommen wurde und unter deutscher Besatzung stand. Im Jahr 1991 wurde sie mit der Unabhängigkeit des Landes schließlich estnisch.
Weiter geht es nach Stockholm. Die schwedische Hauptstadt ist von Wasser umgeben und räumt der allgegenwärtigen Natur einen großen Platz ein. Ihre Mischung aus mittelalterlicher Architektur, bunten Häusern und trendigen Stadtvierteln verleiht der Stadt eine einzigartige, entspannte Atmosphäre.
Anschließend nimmt die Le Champlain Kurs auf die Insel Gotland mit Visby, eine der bedeutendsten Hansestädte der Ostsee im 13. Jahrhundert. Diese zum UNESCO-Weltkulturerbe zählende ehemals reiche Handelsstadt besitzt bemerkenswert gut erhaltene Stadtmauern, öffentliche Bauwerke, Zunfthäuser und Lagergebäude.
Das Schiff läuft als Nächstes Danzig an, das für seinen Bernstein und seine Werft berühmt ist. Die alte Hansestadt enthüllt ihre Architektur im gotischen und barocken Stil, die restauriert oder wieder aufgebaut wurden.
Als Letztes nehmen Sie Kurs auf das charmante Fischerdorf Gudhjem auf der kleinen dänischen Insel Bornholm. Diese ist bei den Dänen wegen ihres entspannten Lebensstils und der prächtigen Landschaft mit ihren Felsformationen sehr beliebt.
Nach diesem letzten Aufenthalt läuft das Schiff Kopenhagen an, wo Ihre Reise schließlich endet.

The city’s 1,000 years of history have left a collection of buildings and monuments designed in Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque styles. Your guided walk will bring you to the heart of the city - the Old Town. You will see buildings decorated with elaborate facades crowded by ornate gables. You will pass by the Town Hall, Long Market and the beautiful 15th century merchant’s Palace of Artus Court.

Then take Mariacka or St. Mary’s Street, which delight its visitors with its lively atmosphere, quaint shops and lovely terraced buildings.
Continue to St. Mary’s Church, the pride of Gdansk. Gothic St. Mary’s is the world’s largest brick church, accommodating some 25,000 worshippers. Situated in the centre of Old Town, this medieval church took 159 years to build, and its deceivingly plain exterior belies a bright, spacious interior with large windows and more than 30 beautifully decorated chapels.

Discover the beauty of Poland and visit the castle that has remained an object of European fascination since its mediaval origins.
Meet your guide, then board your bus for a one-hour ride to the town of Malbork.
Follow your guide and get immersed in medieval Poland, the time of the Teutonic Knights and the largest medieval fortress in Europe.
Malbork Castle, also known as the Castle of the Teutonic Order of Malbork, is the most complete and elaborate example of a Gothic brick castle complex in the characteristic and unique style of the Teutonic Order. Moreover, in 1997 it was included in the list of UNSECO World Heritage Sites. A large part of the original structure remains in Malbork and testifies to the high standard and exceptional quality of craftsmanship practiced in the region throughout the 14th century. Construction along the Nogat River began in 1274, when the Teutonic Knights created this massive stone fortress that includes formidable defensive walls, towers, a labyrinth of chambers, keeps and wonderful architectural details. In 1309, the headquarters of the knights left Venice to settle here. In 1466, the castle and town became part of Royal Prussia, a province of Poland, and served as the royal residence of Polish kings for the next 300 years. Extensive conservation work on the castle was carried out in the 19th and early 20th centuries. After the severe damage it suffered during the final phase of World War II, the castle was renovated once again. Today, the castle serves as a museum, with large exhibition halls, which display collections of armour, ceramics, sculptures and spectacular Baltic amber.
At the end of this exceptional tour, you will return, by bus, to your ship in Gdansk.
· This tour involves approximately 1km of walking with 150 steps to negotiate at the Castle. We recommend wearing comfortable walking shoes.

From Gudhjem, you will board your coach and begin your scenic tour through the picturesque farmlands of the small Baltic island of Bornholm belonging to Denmark. On the way, you will enjoy the coastal landscape, heading to the Baltic Sea Glass workshop, located a few kilometers from Gudhjem. Baltic Sea Glass is Denmark's largest glass blowing studio, for which the island is famous. The studio and gallery are set in a converted chicken coop. Today, Baltic Sea Glass welcomes between 100,000 and 120,000 visitors every year. Although they mainly design and produce functional tabletop glassware, the workshop also creates unique pieces for galleries and museum exhibitions.
At the end of the tour, you will continue to Almindingen, on the other side of the island. In one of Denmark's largest forest areas, you will discover Oesterlars round church, one of the four round churches located on Bornholm (representing half of all round churches in Denmark). A visit inside the church is planned, provided that no religious services are scheduled.
The next stop is at Hammershus, an ancient fortress built on the northern tip of Bornholm. These are the largest castle ruins in Northern Europe. The oldest part was built in the early 12th century to consolidate the power held by the Archbishop of Lund (then part of Denmark) over the island and obtained through an agreement with the Danish king, Svend Grathe. For the next 500 years Hammershus was home to various rulers of the island. Hammershus has been rebuilt and expanded several times. In 1743, Hammershus was finally abandoned as a fortress.
You visit will end with a stop in the charming village of Allinge where you will visit one of the smokehouses for that the island is also renowned. During this visit, you can taste smoked herring and an icecold beer before making the short return trip to the village of Gudhjem to board your ship.
· Approx 2 km - gravel, concrete, mostly flat - but there are stairs at Hammershus. The stairs to go on the roof of the church are narrow and dark. Guests are advised to wear comfortable walking shoes. Please note, there is no guarantee that the glassblowers will be working at the time of the visit.

From the pier, board your bus for a 30-minute drive and start your adventure around the island and through the lush Danish countryside. Drive along the northern coast of this little island situated far from the rest of Denmark in the Baltic Sea. Enjoy the unspoiled landscape and cliffs along the coast and drive through the little village of Allinge before reaching your first stop, the ruins of Hammershus.

Next, enjoy the journey to the south of Bornholm, arriving at its biggest town Rønne. Rønne is the largest town on the Danish island of Bornholm. Owing to its natural harbour and its strategic position in the Baltic Sea, Rønne has an interesting history, falling under both German and Swedish influence during its development as a herring fishing port. You will take a stroll along the cobbled streets and enjoy the coloured timbered and half-timbered houses. Rønne is now one of the most visited and popular villages in Denmark. Enjoy time exploring the capital on your own.

After breakfast and check-out, leave Helsinki for a panoramic drive through the beautiful Finnish countryside.
In just over an hour, you will arrive in Fiskars - a flourishing ironworks village with a colourful history. Fiskars is best known for jewellery, ceramics, woodcrafts, and distilleries. You can take a restroom stop at the information centre before you continue to KWUM. In the Korean language, the word KWUM means “dream”, but in Fiskars it means The Karin Widnäs’ museum. The idea of creating a ceramics museum had a long gestation period, but once the project got under way, the over 300- square meter building was completed in just a few years. The architecture combines timber and ceramics elements, and indeed can be seen as a blueprint of just how to do so. The architect Tuomo Siitonen designed Studio Widnäs, the artist’s home, workshop, and gallery.
After leaving KWUM, take a walk with your guide through Fiskars village and hear about the history of the village and the items that are still being made there, and you can even pop into some of the shops. On the other side of the village, you will find a glass studio where the host will entertain you with a presentation of glass blowing.
Enjoy a traditional village lunch with local beverages at a cozy restaurant, and then take time to browse some of the artisan’s shops before returning to Helsinki. When arriving at Helsinki, a photo stop will be made at the Senate Square.
