Experience your own private Stockholm as you explore the interlacing canals and tiny islands surrounding this magical city. Quiet inlets, flower-bedecked cottages, impressive architecture and a nightlong sunset of pastel skies are among it's many offerings. On this journey you will visit four diverse countries each with their own story. From the magnificent Baltic capitals to the yacht havens such as Mariehamn. While in Helsinki, be sure to visit Artek, which stocks ceramics and furniture made by native son Alvar Aalto. Treat yourself to a cocktail afterward at The Savoy Hotel nearby. During your overnight in St. Petersburg, you'll have the opportunity to take in the world famous Russian Ballet. Although it's virtually impossible to see the 150,000 works of art in The Hermitage, it's worth a visit alone to view some of the opulent salons inside St. Petersburg's former Winter Palace. Summer is an ideal time to visit the impeccably preserved Pavlovsk Palace. And an overnight stay is the perfect excuse to attend a performance in the ravishing Mariinsky Theatre.
