    The journey on the Norwegian Getaway departs from Copenhagen on Day One. Ship travelers will also return to the same port for disembarkation. Copenhagen, which is the capital, sits on the coastal isles of Amager and Zealand and is connected to southern Sweden by the Öresund Bridge. You might think about arriving a day early to take in some of Copenhagen’s fabulous sites such as the Amalienborg Palace, which is home to the country’s royal family.

    Alternatively, you may want to stay over a couple days after the ship returns to visit such attractions as the Tivoli Gardens, a 19th century amusement park. Don’t forget to take a picture of the famous statue of the Little Mermaid.

    Visiting Berlin on Day Two of the Trip

Other sites include Tsar Peter I’s Kadriorg Palace, which is magical in its effect as it is surrounded by a peaceful woods and sculpted gardens.

    As you will be visiting the St. Petersburg port for two days on Days Five and Six, you will want to make sure you visit many of the interesting sites and attractions. Some of the sites that you won’t want to miss include the Hermitage Museum, which was founded in 1764; Saint Isaac’s Cathedral, a beautiful ornate religious structure with a golden dome; and the Peter and Paul Fortress, which was established in 1703.

    St. Petersburg was the imperial capital of Russia for two hundred years and was founded by Peter the Great in 1703. The great founder is the subject of the city’s well-known and iconic Bronze Horseman statue. This is one of the Baltic capitals that showcases a number of fascinating historical buildings and sites.

    Scandinavia’s “White City of the North”

    One of the cities that you will get to see toward the end of the journey is Helsinki, Finland on Day Seven. The northern city is also known as Scandinavia’s “White City of the North.” When you stop off at this port, you will see a number of examples of Art Nouveau architecture. This classic sea city features such sites as the impressive yet imposing Parliament House as well as Kiasma, a modern art museum. The elegant and decorative red-brick Uspenski Cathedral overlooks Helsinki’s stunning yet quiet harbor.

    The Last Port City on the Cruise: Stockholm, Sweden
