Day 1
Southampton (England)

Embark Celebrity Eclipse

Bruges (Belgium) from Zeebrugge

The ancient town of Bruges is blessed with a picturesque network of canals and fields peppered with graceful windmills. See its historic central Market Place, and perhaps sample the famous Belgian beer and the local delicacy of moules and frites.

Day 3

At Sea

Day 4
Warnemunde (Germany)

Located at the mouth of the Warnow River, Warnemünde is a charming old fishing town with a superb beach populated with the typical Baltic coast wicker hooded beach chairs. From here there is an excursion by train to Germany's capital Berlin, or alternatively visit nearby historic Rostock.

Day 5

At Sea

Day 6
Helsinki (Finland)

Occupying a peninsula and several islands, Helsinki's unique location may be overshadowed by the capital city's stunning meld of old and new structures and some of the most spectacular bays you could hope to find. Stroll down broad, tree-lined streets, and don't miss the market by the harbour in front of the Presidential Palace.

Day 7
St Petersburg (Russia)

St Petersburg was reportedly built to resemble such western cities as London, Paris and Vienna. Its Winter Palace built by Peter the Great contains the famous Hermitage Museum and amazing treasures. See shops on the famous Nevsky Prospekt and the River Neva which flows through the city.

Day 8
St Petersburg (Russia)

Today you have another day to enjoy St Petersburg. Perhaps take an excursion to fabulous Peterhof Palace or Catherine's Palace. A visa is not needed if going on one of the ship's optional excursions.

Day 9
Tallinn (Estonia)

The Estonian capital of Tallinn has remained remarkably unchanged since its founding in 1154, enabling visitors to enjoy architectural marvels of year past, like the soaring towers of Toompea Castle and the exquisite Russian Orthodox Cathedral set within the city walls.

Day 10
Stockholm (Sweden)

No fewer than fifty bridges connect this Swedish capital's fourteen islands to its mainland. Undoubtedly, this was to ensure that the Swedes could enjoy every single inch of this magnificent city steeped in parks, museums, and palaces - the most famous being the 600-room Royal Palace. Make your way through the Gamla Stan, or Old Town, packed with historic buildings, shops and cafés.

Day 11

Day 12
Copenhagen (Denmark)

Enjoy the excitement in Tivoli Gardens or admire Copenhagen's famous Little Mermaid statue as you wander the waterside scenes of Denmark's capital city.

Day 13
Copenhagen (Denmark)

Today you will have another chance to explore Copenhagen. Amalienborg Palace, where you can catch the changing of the guards, and Kronberg Castle, the famous setting of Shakespeare's Hamlet, are just a few of the many points of interest available to you in this former humble fishing village.
