The Route
Your journey begins in the Hanseatic city of Hamburg. The vessel casts off at 18:00, entering the Kiel Canal the following morning. Stretching nearly 100 kilometers across Schleswig-Holstein, navigating this vital waterway offers close-up views of lush countryside, historic canal locks, and the monumental Rendsburg High Bridge.
The first port of call is the Danish island of Bornholm. Take time to wander through the picturesque fishing village of Gudhjem on the island’s northeast coast, lined with red-tiled timbered cottages and traditional smokehouses. Next is Denmark’s capital, Copenhagen, home to famous sights such as The Little Mermaid, Amalienborg Palace, and the vibrant waterfront district of Nyhavn.
The expedition continues with three dedicated days exploring Sweden’s western coastline and granite archipelagos. Calls include Marstrand, Lysekil, and Fjällbacka—serene fishing villages and nature reserves that few conventional cruise ships can reach. The final port of call brings you to Oslo, Norway, home to the Munch Museum, Vigeland Sculpture Park, and Akershus Fortress. Following a relaxing day at sea, the ship returns to Hamburg.
