Fred Olsen- Cultures Of Northern Europe
Embark the Balmoral to journey through Northern Europe blending historic cities, tranquil islands and coastal landscapes from the scenic Kiel Canal to Viking towns, Baltic beaches and a vibrant finale in Copenhagen.
View Dates & BookSpend ten nights uncovering the rich contrasts of Northern Europe, from lively port cities to tranquil islands and long, open coastlines. The journey begins along the Kiel Canal, a historic waterway accessible only to smaller ships, where pastoral landscapes and village life glide past on either bank. Every port of call reveals something distinct: Trelleborg’s medieval streets echo with Viking history, while Gdańsk blends atmospheric canalside cafés with Hanseatic charm and powerful World War II heritage. In Ventspils, broad sandy beaches meet forest paths alive with birdsong and in Klaipėda you can cycle out to the striking dunes of the Curonian Spit. The voyage concludes in Copenhagen, with guided bike tours and time to soak up the colourful waterfront of Nyhavn.
