The Fine Art of Europe

Copenhagen ➜ Stockholm

7 nights

Departs 19 August 2022 Seven Seas Splendor

“One of the best places to stand and marvel at Tallinn is from Kohtuotsa viewing platform, on the northern side of Toompea Hill,” says Regent Seven Seas’ Steve Odell. “You can see the towering spires of the Old Town and all the colourful buildings that make up this majestic city.” A day in the Estonian capital is just one under-the-radar highlight on this voyage that makes stops at the fabled northern ports of St. Petersburg, Stockholm and Berlin.

Setting sail from Copenhagen – originally a Viking fishing village and now among the world’s great dining and design hubs – Seven Seas Splendor’s 366 all-balcony suites grant all 732 guests private panoramas of the receding coastline. After an immersive day in Berlin, Germany, cruising the Baltic Sea towards Tallinn frees up time to sample the ship’s spoils, from the spa and boutique shopping to wine tastings, cooking classes and the magic of gazing at the star-filled sky.

In St. Petersburg for an overnight shore stay, be transported by the classical streetscapes and rich literary and art history. Included excursions range from a tour of

Peter the Great’s grand palace, Peterhof, to an evening of Russian folkloric dance and a visit to the Fabergé museum. Wandering the city brought to life in Tolstoy’s epic War and Peace is enchanting in itself.

As Stockholm and the end of the journey draw near, swap stories and favourite moments over dinner and drinks at onboard fine-diner Chartreuse. And who knows, after a celebratory cocktail or two you might even test your pipes singing an ABBA tune at karaoke...

The highlights

“A tour of the incredible Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg is a must. It’s Russia’s biggest art museum and I highly recommend our free guided tour, which takes just under four hours,” says Odell. “In Tallinn, you must see the palaces of Toompea Hill, as well as the ancient convents, steepled churches and beautiful guild houses.”
