Bornholm, Highlights of Bornholm

This is a scenic tour through the picturesque farmlands of the tiny Baltic Island belonging to Denmark. Travelling by coach you will enjoy the scenery of the coastline en route to Baltic Seaglass just a few miles outside Gudhjem. This is the largest glass blowing studio that the island is famous for. Although mainly designing and producing functional tabletop glassware, they also create unique works for gallery and museum exhibitions. After this visit continue across the island through Almindingen - one of the largest forest areas in Denmark for Oesterlars Round Church, one of the four round churches found on Bornholm (where you will find half the total number of round churches in Denmark). Inside visit will be included provided no religious services are taking place. Your next stop will be at Hammershus, an old fortress on the northern tip of Bornholm and the largest castle ruins in Northern Europe. Hammershus was rebuilt and expanded on several occasions. In 1743 Hammershus was finally abandoned as a stronghold. Another stop will then be made to the charming village of Allinge where you will visit one of the smokehouses that the island is also renown for. Here you will enjoy smoked herring and an ice cold beer before the short ride back to the village of Gudhjem.

Bornholm, Flavors of Bornholm

This tour will allow you to sample some of the flavors of Bornholm - including herring, wine and beer. You will start your tour with a drive through the lush countryside to the Lille Gadegård Vineyard - a very idyllic place close to the town of Åkirkeby. The vineyard, founded in 1995, is the largest in Denmark. It started by producing strawberry wine and first harvested grapes in 2002. You will get a tour of the premises, and finish with a wine tasting. Next stop is the charming village of Svaneke, located on the east coast of Bornholm, where we will stop at Svaneke Brew House, located in an old merchant's house dating back to 1750. Here you will see the beer making process and, naturally, enjoy a taste as well. Then back toward the fishing village of Gudhjem. Literally meaning "Home of God," this quaint village of only 780 permanent residents clings to the side of a rocky bay on the north eastern side of the island. Gudhjem was the first place to start smoking and exporting herrings - a tradition that was to become the "signature delicacy" of the island. Step inside Gudhjem smokehouse and enjoy a traditional smoked herring with bread andbeer. After Your gastronomic experience, return by foot to the tender jetty or stay in town at your leisure. Please note: There are steps at the smokehouse and the brewery, uneven gravel and grass at the vineyard.

Bornholm, Meet the Nature

The natural world on Bornholm is the main reason why many people choose to visit the island and nature on Bornholm is truly unique! You will meet with your local guide at the pier. You are now ready to start this walk, which is possibly the most beautiful walk along Bornholm's coast. You will start to follow the rocky path north around Salene Bay to "Helligdommsklipperne." Through the millennia, the surf at this location has eroded the rocky coast and created deep gorges into the mountain. Now standing high and proud are the sharp cutting edges, rugged granite columns and steep rock walls with deep corridors and caves - so-called "ovens" that make up Helligdomsklipperne. The path will take you past "Hestestenene," the horse stones, which are three monoliths that act as navigation marks on the edge of a cliff 112 feet above the sea. You will continue through natural fores t with the bay on one side and steep cliffs on the other - ending by the rugged rock formations - Helligdomsklipperne. Here you have a chance to climb down a ladder to get a better overview of the rock formations and to get closer to the water. Then you will continue up to the Art Museum, where a well-deserved refreshment, of your own choice, will be enjoyed. You now have the choice to stay seated and enjoy the view or to have a look around the museum before returning to the pier by bus. Please note: Wear comfortable walking shoes and comfortable clothing. Bring sunglasses, hat, sunscreen if sunny. In case of rain, guests should wear raingear or to bring an umbrella. Extra water is also recommended.

Klaipeda: Soviet Nuclear Weapon Site

In one of the most beautiful places in the Plokstine Forest, in Zemaitija National Park , the Soviet Nuclear Weapons' Site is located. It was built under great secrecy in 1960. The site became operational in 1963. There were 4 silos, which housed surface-to-surface missiles. The Nuclear Weapons Site was closed in 1979 but the site was fully restored and now all premises bring back to life the realities of the Cold War period as the site opens its grim corridors and tunnels for guided tours. Board your motor coach from the pier for the 1.5-hour drive to the site. It is possible to climb through the narrow hatch and see one of the silos . The deep mine shaft and underground tunnels are really impressive. There you will also see some of the symbols of the longstanding propaganda between the West and the Soviet Union.

Riga, Jewish Heritage of Riga ( Moderate)

This deeply moving and profoundly important tour traces the remarkable history and enduring legacy of Riga's Jewish community, whose roots in the city stretch back to the 15th and 16th centuries. A panoramic drive through the city reveals the haunting ruins of the Big Choral Synagogue, built in 1868 and once celebrated across Europe for its singers, cantors, and choir, before passing the historic Bikur Holim Jewish Hospital and the poignant Old Jewish Cemetery, destroyed by the Nazis and later converted into a park. The tour then travels to the outskirts of the city for a solemn visit to Rumbula Forest, where a grey memorial stone bears witness to the murder of more than 25,000 European Jews by the Nazis in 1941, one of the largest massacres of the Holocaust. Returning to the Old Town, a guided walking tour leads you to the only functioning synagogue in Riga today, where a visit to its carefully reconstructed premises offers a testament to the resilience and enduring spirit of Riga's Jewish community across the centuries.

What to Bring: Comfortable clothing and footwear. Please note: the Synagogue is closed on Saturdays; a visit to the Jews in Latvia Museum will be substituted. This tour is not suitable for guests with limited mobility. Sequence of stops may vary.

Riga, Charms of Art Nouveau & Riga Water Ring

Your tour will take you to one of the largest and most glorious Art Nouveau places in Europe, with more than a third of the buildings of its Central District built in this style. The Art Nouveau movement reached its peak in the early 20th century, which is when the majority of Riga's Art Nouveau houses were built. Drive to Alberta Street which is considered the epitome of Art Nouveau in Riga. Each house is a different and unique construction achievement. Nowhere else in Riga will you observe such a concentration of expression and architectural fantasy. You will be invited to visit a typical Art Nouveau family apartment. This is a unique apartment which represents the true nature of Art Nouveau living - from authentic planning of the rooms and original paintings of walls to the tiniest details - stained-glass windows, kitchen tiles and even handles of doors and windows. The collection of the museum accounts for more than 500 authentic objects - original Art Nouveau furniture, tableware, needleworks, clothes and many other items of interior design on display.

Tallinn, Tasting Traditional Fish Dishes in a Historic Fishing Village

Depart the cruise port for a scenic drive to the seaside village of Pringi, home to the Viimsi Open Air Museum — a nationally protected Cultural Monument gathering historic coastal buildings on the picturesque shores of Viimsi County, complete with authentically reconstructed fishing sheds, boat hoists, and net-drying racks. At its heart stands the Kingu coastal farmstead, whose mid-19th-century barn-dwelling — a building type unique to Estonia — is the oldest structure on site. Here, a local Estonian fishing expert will guide you through a tasting of various Baltic fish species while the chef shares insights into traditional fish preparation, a fitting experience in a country where fish — especially silk (salted herring) — has long been central to the cuisine, and where generations of fishermen from Harju, Järva, and Virumaa counties have worked the waters of the Gulf of Finland; indeed, in 2022 Estonia became the first Baltic nation to be recognized by the MICHELIN Guide. As you savor the tasting, admire the breathtaking sea views toward the distant Tallinn skyline — the very panorama once printed on the region's historic tins of smoked sprats, affectionately known as the "sprat-tin view." Before the return drive to the cruise port, browse the museum's gift shop for souvenirs, gifts, and home furnishings inspired by fishing and the sea.
