Itinerary
ILMA
With the highest ratio of space per guest at sea, Ilma features just 228 airy, light-filled suites, all with private terraces. Five restaurants, six bars and a wine vault offer culinary experiences to please every palate. The yacht’s aft Marina includes expansive spaces where you can dine alfresco while admiring the seascapes or enjoy watersports directly from the yacht.
Copenhagen, Denmark
Perched upon a rock in the harbor, the Little Mermaid welcomes all to this lively, fun-loving city of Danes, said to be some of the happiest people in the world. From the fabulous food and fresh water to free education, free healthcare and a 37-hour work week, this is a society firmly focused on the good life, and its capital is a joy to explore. From an outstanding assembly of modern architecture, world-class museums and charming canals to the lively streets of the Old Town that wind through the world’s oldest kingdom, Copenhagen has it all – not to mention 15 Michelin-starred restaurants and the Stroget, the world’s longest pedestrian shopping street offering the very best in Scandinavian design.
Karlskrona, Sweden
Military-maritime heritage, friendly ambience and easy access to outdoor adventures are all part of the urban fabric in Karlskrona. In 1680, King Karl XI chose Sweden’s most southern archipelago for a new base for his Royal Navy. The 17th-century grid design on the island of Trossö remains the Baroque heart of the city, which today covers 33 islands. On Trossö's highest point, the elegant and expansive town square is a civic and cultural hub, with such landmarks as the Town Hall, an old water tower-turned-exhibition space, and Fredrik's Church. Many sights are walking distance from the town center, including the exceptionally preserved original Naval Port, the acclaimed modern Naval Museum, and the charming Björkholmen district, once home to many dockworkers and shipbuilders. The former fish market is now the departure point for exploring the surrounding islands, islets and skerries of the archipelago.
Gdansk, Poland
On a bay in the Baltic Sea stands the majestic city of Gdańsk, once a prominent member of the Hanseatic League. The Royal Route – named for the monarchs who used to travel it – follows the pedestrian thoroughfare of Long Market through landmarks of the enchanting Old Town, from the ornamental Golden Gate at one end to the equally impressive Green Gate at the other. Both stand shoulder to shoulder with an array of colorful historic buildings that overlook the Motława River. A highlight is the Gothic hall of Artus Court with the statue of Neptune standing at its entrance. Housing the city museum, the opulent interior of the Gothic-Renaissance Town Hall is crowned by an elaborate clocktower, which you can climb for panoramic city views. Get an even higher viewpoint from the tower of nearby St. Mary’s Church, said to be the largest brick church in the world, and don’t miss the intricate detail of the enormous astronomical clock in the nave.
Helsinki, Finland
The capital and largest city of Finland, Helsinki is a rich cultural hub filled with museums, galleries and theaters, including the Ateneum’s collection of nearly 30,000 masterpieces of visual art. When Russia took control of Finland from Sweden in the 19th century, Helsinki was rebuilt with a neoclassical city center featuring handsome boulevards, plentiful parks and expansive squares with spectacular architecture, most notably Senate Square. The bustling Market Square on the waterfront sells local crafts and produce and is a great place to stop into a café for some traditional salmon soup with a side of dark rye bread. The islands that constitute the surrounding archipelago are as integral to Helsinki as the mainland, all protected by the imposing 18th-century fortress of Suomenlinna. A 20-minute ferry ride brings visitors to this UNESCO World Heritage site that includes multiple museums and lush parkland.
Tallinn, Estonia
Designated a UNESCO World Heritage site, the Old Town of Tallinn is one of the best-preserved medieval cities in Europe. An entire day can easily be spent exploring the churches, homes and public buildings constructed from the 13th to 16th centuries by wealthy German merchants of the Hanseatic League. Other periods of history are represented by the soaring spire of St. Olaf’s Church, dating to the 12th century and dedicated to the King of Norway, and the distinctive onion domes of Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, built in the late 19th century under the reign of the Russian Empire. Across from the cathedral, Toompea Castle rises over the Upper Old Town, while in the Lower Old Town, the Gothic town hall anchors a maze of streets filled with artisan shops, monasteries and guild halls. After exploring the medieval city, enjoy a relaxing stroll through the well-manicured gardens of Kadriorg Park and stop into the art museum housed there in an 18th-century Russian palace.
Mariehamn, Åland Islands, Finland
You’ll want to be on deck when sailing in and out of the Åland Islands, as this Finnish archipelago of more than 6,500 islands is simply spectacular. Mariehamn is the capital, a picturesque, laid-back town of 11,000 residents with a hospitable islander lifestyle and a strong maritime culture. Mariehamn was once the home of the world’s largest fleet of oceanic sailing ships, and a stroll through the Maritime Quarter reveals boat building workshops and smithy and craft shops. Named Finland’s best museum in 2016, the Maritime Museum offers excellent insight into Aland’s maritime heritage. Moored beside it is the Pommern, one of the world's last merchant sailing ships, just waiting to be explored. Or visit the Bomarsund Fortress ruins just a half hour from town. Together with Kastelholm Castle, the fortress bears witness to the heyday of the Swedish Kingdom and the golden years of the Russian Empire.
Stockholm, Sweden
The approach to Sweden’s capital city of Stockholm, through the untouched nature of the archipelago, is breathtaking. Spread over 14 islands, Stockholm is called “The City That Floats on Water.” Not surprisingly, 57 bridges traverse the city. Start your tour at Djurgården, an island that was once the hunting grounds of the king and is now home to the fascinating Vasa Museum, housing the world’s only preserved 17th-century warship. Stockholm has 70 museums, including the world’s oldest open-air museum, the Skansen. Explore the narrow streets and medieval buildings of Gamla Stan, the Old Town founded in the 13th century. Stockholm also gives you access to three UNESCO World Heritage sites: the Viking outpost of Birka, the unique cemetery of Skogskyrkogården, and Drottningholm Palace, which has been home to the royal family since 1662.
