The itinerary, port by port

15 calls over 20 nights, round-trip from Copenhagen. Open any port for my full day-ashore guide, what to see, when to go, and how the day actually runs.

  1. Embark
    Copenhagen

    Copenhagen is a flat, walkable harbor capital where the cruise quays sit right on the water near the royal district, so the city reads as a sequence of canals, squares, and palaces rather than a place you… Port guide →

  2. 2
    Skagen

    Skagen sits at the very top of Denmark, a fishing town of ochre-yellow houses and red-tiled roofs whose particular light drew a colony of painters in the late 1800s. Port guide →

  3. 3
    Geiranger

    Geiranger sits at the dead end of the Geirangerfjord, a UNESCO-listed arm of water hemmed by cliffs with waterfalls falling straight off the rim. Port guide →

  4. 4
    Molde

    Molde is a small fjord city on Norway's northwest coast, rebuilt after wartime destruction, known as the City of Roses and for the Molde Panorama, a line of 222 peaks of the Romsdal Alps across the water. Port guide →

  5. 5
    Trondheim

    Trondheim is Norway's third-largest city and its medieval religious capital, founded by Viking king Olav Tryggvason in 997 at the mouth of the Nidelva River. Port guide →

  6. 6
    Brønnøysund

    Brønnøysund is a small coastal town on Norway's Helgeland coast, a compact harbor community whose reason for the call is Torghatten, the nearby mountain pierced clean through by a natural hole. Port guide →

  7. 7
    Leknes (Lofoten Islands)

    Leknes is a modern service town in the middle of the Lofoten archipelago, above the Arctic Circle, and is plainly the least scenic spot on islands that are otherwise spectacular. Port guide →

  8. 8
    Ålesund

    Ålesund sits on a cluster of islands on Norway's west coast, rebuilt almost entirely in Art Nouveau after a 1904 fire leveled the town, leaving over 400 turreted, spired buildings in a tight, walkable center. Port guide →

  9. 9
    Bergen

    Bergen is Norway's gateway to the western fjords, a compact harbor city wrapped around the wooden Hanseatic trading wharf of Bryggen and ringed by seven mountains. Port guide →

  10. 10
    Warnemünde

    Warnemünde is the seaside district of Rostock on Germany's Baltic coast, a former fishing village turned resort with one of the widest beaches on the Baltic. Port guide →

  11. 11
    Stockholm

    Stockholm is a capital built across fourteen islands where Lake Malaren meets the Baltic, and the approach through its archipelago is half the experience. Port guide →

  12. 12
    Tallinn

    Tallinn's medieval Old Town is one of the most complete in Europe, a walled core of cobbled lanes, merchant houses, and church spires that sits a short walk from the cruise berths. Port guide →

  13. 13
    Helsinki

    Helsinki is Finland's seaside capital, a compact city of neoclassical squares, Nordic design, and an island sea fortress at its doorstep. Port guide →

  14. 14
    Visby (Gotland)

    Visby is a walled Hanseatic trading town on the Swedish island of Gotland, and its draw is its near-intact ring of medieval defenses: a 3.4 km town wall studded with towers, wrapped around cobbled lanes,… Port guide →

  15. Disembark
    Rønne

    Rønne is the main town and harbor of Bornholm, a Danish island far out in the Baltic between Sweden and Poland, known for its sunny microclimate, smokehouses, and medieval round churches. Port guide →
