Itinerary

Avanti Destinations: Connect the Capitals

Day 1 Stockholm
Sweden's capital, built on 14 islands that are connected by 57 bridges, is one of Europe's most beautiful cities, with an interesting Old Town and some of the best examples of modern Scandinavian design. Don't miss Gamla Stan, Stockholm's oldest attraction and one of the best preserved medieval city centers in the world. Walk through small winding streets lined with stores full of handicrafts, antiques, art galleries, and cafés. The Royal Palace and Stockholm Cathedral are also located in Gamla Stan.

Day 2 Stockholm, Cruise

After breakfast, you'll have the day to explore the city. The Royal Palace, one of the largest in Europe, is home to Sweden's Royal Family, and has 600 rooms. The Skansen Open-Air Museum is the oldest open-air museum anywhere; 150 farm and town dwellings were disassembled and transported here, so you can see what family life was like two centuries ago. Not far away is the Vasa Museum, home to a Viking warship, 220 feet long, that sank on its maiden voyage in 1628, but was salvaged in 1961 and is almost fully restored.

Be sure to get to the harbor by 4:00 p.m. to check in for your Silja Line luxury cruise to Helsinki. The ship departs Stockholm at 5:00 p.m. The cruise is very interesting, passing a number of islands in the Gulf of Finland. On board, you'll find well-equipped cabins, fine dining, entertainment, and tax-free shopping.

Day 3 Cruise, Helsinki

After breakfast on the ship, you'll sail into Helsinki Harbor and arrive about 10:00 a.m. Take a taxi to your hotel and prepare to explore this fascinating city, the capital of Finland. The same architect who built St. Petersburg designed many of its main buildings, so Helsinki has often “doubled” for St. Petersburg in films. Take some time to walk around the Old Town near the harbor, and then head to the main streets for shopping. Famous for its glassware, fabrics and furniture, Helsinki appeals to those with a strong fashion and design sense, and one should not ignore its icons: Iitala glassware, Marimekko fabrics, and Arabia stoneware.

We recommend that you purchase a day-ticket for use on Helsinki's excellent tram (streetcar) system, which will enable you to see as much of the city as you have time for. Tram 2 is known as the principal sightseeing tram; those interested in design and art should hop on Tram 6. Be sure to see Helsinki Cathedral, the large white Lutheran church that dominates the skyline of the city, completed in 1862. Quarried out of the natural bedrock, Temppeliaukio Church is one of Helsinki's most popular tourist attractions. The interior walls are created naturally by the rock. The church was designed by architects Timo and Tuomo Suomalainen and opened in 1969. Due to its excellent acoustics, the church is a popular venue for concerts. Leave enough time to enjoy a selection of Helsinki's cafés and restaurants before retiring to your hotel.
