Your exciting European trip begins. Arrive Moscow (1 Days) Upon arrival at the airport, you'll be greeted and transferred to your hotel.

Today we travel to what was once the stronghold of the early Tsars, Novgorod. Visit the old Kremlin with its imposing fortress walls and touching World War II war memorials Novgorod to St. Petersburg (1 Days) Today we travel to what some still consider the true capital of Russia, St. Petersburg. Named after Peter the Great, the city was built to be Russia's "Window on Europe". We visit Peter's summer palace, Petrodvorets, famous for its baroque architecture and intricate gardens. St. Petersburg (1 Days) Our local guide takes us around St. Petersburg this morning. Step back in time as we tour the Hermitage which now holds what remains of the personal art collection of Catherine the Great.

We travel through pine forests and reindeer sanctuaries to the quirky capital, Helsinki. Helsinki (1 Days) Helsinki is an interesting mix between Finnish, Swedish and Russian ideals, having been occupied by its neighbours for a large portion of its history. Shop along main street Mannerheim, visit the Olympic stadium or maybe take the Hydrofoil across to Estonia's capital, Tallinn. Helsinki to Stockholm (1 Days) More free time in Helsinki this morning before we board our luxurious overnight ferry to Stockholm. Chill out on the upper deck and watch the sun set over Finland as we sail away, shop on the Promenade deck or be pampered in the onboard leisure centre. Stockholm (1 Days) Docking in Sweden's capital this morning, it's straight into sightseeing. Wander the narrow streets of Gamla Stan (the old town), see the changing of the guards at the Royal Palace and why not take the opportunity to visit the Vasa museum?
