Sail across the Baltic Sea in the tradition of Viking mariners aboard the M.S. Le Diamant, a small ship with an intimate, casual atmosphere. Highlighting an itinerary that winds from the beautifully preserved, medieval port of Bergen, Norway, to contemporary Stockholm, Sweden, is a once-in-a-lifetime visit to Gdansk, where you'll have a private meeting with Lech Walesa, Nobel laureate and former president of Poland. From there, you'll explore the natural majesty of Norway's dramatic fjords; the city of Copenhagen, one of the world's premier design centers; and historic treasures of the resurgent Baltic nations, featuring an architectural tour of Riga, Latvia. The trip is capped by a special, early-entry visit to the Hermitage Museum in Peter the Great's imperial city of St. Petersburg, Russia. A pre-program option in Stockholm and post-program option in Bergen are also offered.
