Grand Baltic Sea Voyage
Denmark, Poland, Sweden, Estonia, Russia, Finland
February 2016
Join us on our new Grand Baltic Sea Voyage in July 2016! You’ll set sail on a voyage along the
coast of the briny Baltic Sea, from Denmark to Poland, from the Baltic states of Latvia
and Estonia to Mother Russia and back again to the Nordic lands of Finland and Sweden.
Sailing aboard our 98-passenger, all-suite ship “Corinthian,” you’ll first explore the countries of Scandinavia, a region
filled with ice-capped waters, wind-blown beaches, bucolic farmlands, and acre upon acre of lush, verdant forestry.
Depart Copenhagen—gateway to the Baltic Sea and beyond—and discover a land of breathtaking natural beauty
peppered with stunning medieval cities. This is the best way to experience the historic and natural wonders of the Baltic
region. Best of all, you’ll travel in style with your friends from Southern Exposure and Grand Circle Travel!

Detailed Itinerary: Grand Baltic Sea Voyage 2016
Day 1 – Depart U.S.
Depart U.S. and fly to Copenhagen, Denmark.
Day 2 – Arrive in Copenhagen
Arriving in Denmark, you’ll be met at the airport by a Grand Circle representative and assisted to your hotel. Grow
acquainted with the area around your hotel with an orientation walk before an afternoon free to explore Copenhagen
independently, with lunch and dinner on your own.
Day 3 – Copenhagen / Embark Ship
After breakfast this morning, take in the sights of Copenhagen during a panoramic tour, giving you a glimpse of the city’s
colorful houses, picturesque canals, charming pedestrian squares, and innovative modern architectural designs. Enjoy
lunch on your own before transferring to the pier to embark the Corinthian.
During your cruise, you’ll receive a “port talk” about the pier area and town prior to arrival, so you can make the best use
of your free time. This evening, you’ll gather for your first port talk. Then get better acquainted with your ship’s Captain
and crew during a Welcome Dinner. As they say in Scandinavia, “Smaklig måltid!” (“Enjoy your meal!”) Tonight, set sail
for your first destination: Rønne, Denmark.
Day 4 – Rønne / Ceramic Museum Visit
After breakfast onboard, explore Rønne during a guided
city tour. Located on the island of Bornholm (considered the
“pearl of the Baltic Sea” because of its breathtaking scenery),
Rønne is a town of cobbled streets, half-timbered houses,
and brightly-painted buildings. During your tour, you’ll
visit Store Torv (the town’s largest square, where the Danes
sell produce, clothing, and granite jewelry during market

days), Bornholms Teater (Denmark’s
oldest theater), and the octagonal
Rønne lighthouse (built in 1880 and
operational until it was decommissioned
in 1989).
Following your guided tour of the
town’s center, you’ll make your way
to Hjorths Fabrik—a ceramic museum
showcasing the long history of potterymaking in Rønne—for an exclusive
Discovery Series event. Bornholm
residents have been digging into the
island’s rich deposits of clay and
creating unusual and whimsical pots,
plates, and cups since the early 18th
century. The Hjorth ceramic factory
opened in 1858 and was operational for more than a century, before it shut down in 1993. Today, the museum (still run by
the Hjorth family) houses ceramic artifacts from the early 18th century, pieces made when the factory was operational,
and works done by modern-day Bornholm potters.
Return to the ship for lunch onboard. The rest of the afternoon is yours to continue your discoveries. Perhaps you’ll
choose to visit one of the town’s many clockmakers, a tradition dating back to 1744. The island was once known for its
unique grandfather clocks until the craft disappeared after World War II. In recent years, the tradition has revived and the
clocks’ hourly chimes can be heard singing throughout the streets. This evening, enjoy dinner onboard.
Day 5 – Gdynia, Poland / Amber Factory Visit / Home-Hosted Lunch / Gdansk
After breakfast this morning, you’ll dock in Gdansk and then transfer to Gdynia for an included tour of an amber factory,
an exclusive Discovery Series event. The Baltic region is home to the world’s largest deposit of amber, known specifically
as “Baltic amber” (or colloquially as “Polish gold” in Poland). The amber—or fossilized tree resin—is 44 million years
old around the Baltic Sea and is mined to make such things as jewelry, table lamps, and even furniture. The more valuable
pieces have been known to contain species of now-extinct insects or plants.
Next, you’ll share a Home-Hosted Lunch with a local family before transferring back to Gdansk for a guided tour of the
Stare Miasto (Old Town). Gdansk is a Polish city with a Baltic vibe that’s been around for a millennium and has fluctuated
between great prosperity and tragic destruction.
Important Travel Notes:
•
For your comfort and safety, we recommend this
tour for individuals in good physical condition.
If you have difficulty walking, this may be
a difficult trip for you.
• We reserve the right to cancel this tour due to
insufficient registration. Full refund will be given
if tour is canceled due to insufficient registration.
• If traveling alone, we will match you up with
a roommate (this tour is double occupancy only).
•
Please read the “What to Expect” box on the next page carefully. If you have further questions, please contact the Southern Exposure office at (269) 962-1255 during regular business hours.
While Gdańsk still shows its scars from the tumult of World
War II, this unique city offers a wealth of architectural beauty
and a myriad of activities. Wander past the town hall, where
stands the Neptune Fountain, rumored to have once spouted
Gdansk’s trademark liqueur, Goldwasser, instead of water.
You’ll also marvel at the city’s many gates—including the
Green Gate, the Golden Gate, and the Upland Gate—and the
Monument to the Fallen Shipyard Workers, three 138-foot-tall
steel crosses at the entrance to the city’s shipyard. A sudden
spike in food costs in 1970 led to mass riots throughout
northern Poland that left at least 40 dead and more than 1,000
wounded. The monument is the first to commemorate the
victims of a communist regime.
At the conclusion of your tour, you’ll have time to further
explore the city’s Old Town. Perhaps you’ll discover one of
Gdansk’s many cafés, bookstores, or shops (where you can
admire examples of northern Poland’s famed amber jewelry).
4
Later, you’ll make your way to Katedra Oliwska, the
Oliwa cathedral, for an organ concerto. The cathedral is
the longest church in Poland and houses two organs—a
smaller choir organ, and the famed “great organ”—one
of the largest in the world. This evening, enjoy dinner
onboard as your ship sails toward Visby, Sweden.
What to Expect:
Grand Baltic Sea Voyage 2016
We will make every effort to accommodate your
travel needs and make sure you have a pleasant,
memorable experience. At the same time, it is
important to note the following advisories:
Day 6 – Visby, Sweden
On Gotland Island, the city of Visby has existed for
more than a thousand years, with its signature ringmur
(“ringwall”) encircling the town since the 13th century.
Reachable only by boat or plane, and beloved as a
holiday destination for Swedes, the “city of ruins and
roses” is rich with historical artifacts, earning it a
designation as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Enjoy
an included panoramic tour of Visby as its history unfolds
before you, its hundreds of warehouses and merchant
homes telling the story of its heyday as a major port
between Russia and Western Europe for the Hanseatic
League.
Physical Requirements: Travelers using mobility
aids or with medical conditions that might require
immediate attention will not be able to board the
Corinthian. Travel over uneven surfaces, including
unpaved paths, steep hills, stairs, and cobblestone.
You must be able to walk 3 miles unassisted and
participate in 2 hours of physical activities each day.
GCT reserves the right for our Program Directors to
modify participation, or in some circumstances send
travelers home if their limitations are impacting the
group’s experience.
Climate: Daytime temperatures usually range
from 58 - 77°F during cruising season. Due to
the varied geography of the regions we visit on
this program you will experience a wide range
of temperatures and weather conditions. We
recommend that you bring a rain jacket and sunblock regardless of the time of year.
Return to the Corinthian for an included lunch, then go
ashore in Visby once more to make discoveries on your
own, or stroll with your Program Director on a leisurely
walk along the cobblestone streets. Enjoy dinner onboard
as we cruise toward Riga, Latvia.
Day 7 – Riga, Latvia / Central Market Visit
Set close to the mouth of the Daugava River, which
travels from the Baltic Sea into Russia, Riga was
historically an important trade port. Its prosperity also
made it a target for conquest. Before Latvia declared
itself an independent nation in 1918, Riga was claimed
by Russia, Sweden, Lithuania, and Germany. As a
diverse, thriving city with a prominent upper class,
Riga experienced radical change under occupation by
the Soviets and Nazis. Buildings from Riga’s most
prosperous eras—particularly the Art Nouveau period—
still stand throughout the city, as you’ll discover on a
city tour by motorcoach and on foot. You’ll enjoy special
focus on the Art Nouveau era as you explore a district
rich with facades from the early 20th-century period in
which architecture became romantic, favoring natural and
mythological embellishments.
Passport & Visa Information
U.S. citizens will need a valid password as well as
a visa (or visas) for this trip. In addition, there may
be other entry requirements that also need to be met.
Travelers who are booked on this vacation will be
sent a complete Visa Packet— with instructions,
applications, and a list of visa fees—approximately
100 days prior to their departure. (Because many
countries limit the validity of their visa from the date
it is issued, please do not apply too early.)
Vaccinations Information
Generally speaking, vaccinations are not needed for
this trip. However, for the latest list of vaccinations
that may be recommended for this trip, please visit
the CDC’s “Traveler’s Health” website at www.cdc.
gov/travel. In addition, we recommend these three
additional health steps before you leave on your trip:
After lunch onboard, you may enjoy time ashore in
Riga. Perhaps you’ll visit Riga’s Old Town, a dizzying
collection of cobbled lanes, gargoyle-adorned buildings,
and lovingly restored 17th-century architectural treasures
under UNESCO World Heritage Site protection. You’ll
also have a chance to explore the city’s Central Market—
the largest market in Europe—during an exclusive
Discovery Series event. Located in converted German
Zeppelin hangars from the 1930s, the market’s pavilions
Have a medical checkup with your doctor.
Pick up any necessary medications, both
prescription and over-the-counter.
Have a dental and/or eye checkup, if possible.

encompass more than three-quarters of a million square feet of space and are also under UNESCO protection. Dinner is
aboard ship this evening.
Day 8 – Riga / Optional Rundale Palace Tour / Singing Revolution Discussion
Join us this morning for our optional Rundale Palace tour. A masterpiece of Baroque and Rococo style, 18th-century
Rundale Palace was built on the orders of Ernst Johann Biron, the Duke of Courtland, and the Russian Empress he loved,
Anna Ioannovna. The palace boasts opulent chambers, as well as extensive French gardens. You’ll tour the palace and the
rose garden, before enjoying lunch at a local restaurant.
Or, explore the city at your own pace. Perhaps you’ll pay a visit to the Nordic wooden dwellings of Kipsala Island, or
build upon yesterday’s discoveries with a visit to the recently opened Riga Art Nouveau Museum, located in the former
apartment of Latvian architect Konstantins Pekšens. Return to the ship for lunch. This evening, learn more about the
evolution of the independence movement in the Baltic states during a Singing Revolution discussion, an exclusive
Discovery Series event. Dinner is onboard the ship as you cruise toward Tallinn, Estonia.
Day 9 – Tallinn, Estonia
Your ship arrives in Tallinn, Estonia this morning. A wonderfully preserved city of the old Hanseatic League, this ancient
walled port on the Baltic is a UNESCO World Heritage Site filled with remarkable fortresses, castles, and cathedrals.
Medieval Tallinn had six gates, all bastion-forts complete with moats and drawbridges.
You’ll gain insight into Estonia’s premier city during this morning’s guided tour. Tallinn’s Old Town is still encircled by
city walls, punctuated with many stone towers rising above red-tiled roofs. Within the city walls, the streets remain much
as they were when Danish rulers built them in the 13th century. This historic city center is divided into the Lower Town
and the Upper Town.
In the Lower Town, the 600-year-old Town Hall—the best-preserved of its kind in northern Europe—has a tower that
presides dramatically over Town Hall Square (Raejoka plats). The Upper Town is on Toompea Hill, where two landmarks
that originated in the 13th century still stand: Toompea Castle (now the meeting place for the Estonian Parliament) and the
6
Dome Church (Estonia’s largest Lutheran sanctuary). Many of the city’s historic buildings reflect the prosperity it enjoyed
between the 14th and 16th centuries. Under German control, Tallinn flourished during these years as a trade port in the
Hanseatic League. Later periods of Swedish and Russian rule also left their marks on Tallinn.
After lunch aboard the Corinthian, you can set out
independently to explore more of the city at your own pace.
You may want to visit Kiek-in-de-Kok (Look-into-theKitchen), a bastion built in 1470. At the time, it was the
tallest building in Estonia and earned its name because it
was said that watchmen could peer into the kitchens of the
houses below. Or you might take a walk in Town Hall Square.
Originally called Market Square, excavations show that it
was a market as long as a thousand years ago. Here the 14thcentury Town Hall has been preserved almost intact in its
original Gothic form, and still serves as the City Hall.
This evening, enjoy dinner aboard ship with your friends.
Day 10 – St. Petersburg, Russia / Optional Nikolayevsky
Palace Folk Show Tour
St. Petersburg, founded as the new capital of the Russian
Empire more than 300 years ago, was the vision and creation
of Tsar Peter I, who named it after his patron saint, Peter. This
beautiful showcase of a city, covering 150 square miles, is a
synthesis of both European and Russian styles, with elements
of both East and West. Pushkin called this city “Peter the
Great’s Window to the West.” St. Petersburg has more than
40 picturesque islands, more than 60 canals, and hundreds of
lovely bridges - one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
After breakfast, enjoy a panoramic tour of St. Petersburg,
including a visit to St. Isaac’s Cathedral. This is the largest

church in the city, built originally to be the main church
of the Russian Empire. The dome of the cathedral, which
dominates the city’s skyline, is gilded with more than 200
pounds of gold, and the interior is elaborately decorated
with exquisite mosaics, icons, malachite, and lapis lazuli.
This grand church can seat 14,000 worshippers. Although
the church was closed after the 1917 Revolution,
it reopened as a museum in 1931, and services for
worshippers were again introduced in 1990.
Day 11 – St. Petersburg
This morning, enjoy an included excursion to the
magnificent summer residence of the Russian royalty
at Peterhof, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In 1714,
Peter the Great asked for a “Versailles by the Sea.” The
site evolved into a grand palace atop the hill surrounded
by a park. Visit Catherine’s Wing, a small palace on the
grounds, and see the palace’s remarkable Grand Cascade,
an extraordinary fountain ensemble made up of three
waterfalls, nearly 150 fountains shooting more than 2,000
jets of water, and a myriad of statues and sculptures.
This afternoon, after a light lunch at a local restaurant,
you’ll continue exploring St. Petersburg, with an included
visit to the Hermitage Museum. Formerly the Winter
Palace and home of the tsars, today this is one of the most
splendid museums in the world. Built by the Empress
Elizabeth, daughter of Peter I, the palace became part of
the Hermitage, originated in 1764 when Catherine the
Great began her private art collection. Today, more than
1,000 rooms house nearly three million exhibits.
After lunch aboard ship, you may return to discover the
city as you wish—browse some shops, visit monuments,
and learn more about Russia’s rich culture, or sip coffee
at a café and watch the life of St. Petersburg unfold
around you. Enjoy dinner onboard this evening.
The staggering collection of art and paintings ranges
from ancient Egypt to early 20th-century Europe, and
is set in a complex of buildings magnificently and
lavishly adorned with gold leaf, malachite, jasper,
agate, and marble. Marvel at masterpieces by da Vinci,
Michelangelo, Raphael, Rembrandt, a full range of
French Impressionists, Van Gogh, Rodin, and many
more of the world’s great artists. After your visit to the
Hermitage, return to your ship in the afternoon.
Tonight, enjoy dinner onboard your ship. You might
elect to join our optional excursion to a folk show at
Day 12 – Helsinki, Finland / Captain’s
Farewell Dinner
This morning, we drop anchor in Helsinki, Finland’s
capital city. After breakfast onboard, enjoy a tour of
Helsinki with a local guide. During your half-day tour
of the city, known as “the Daughter of the Baltic,” you’ll
visit the Sibelius Monument, a collection of 600 steel
pipes arranged into a wave-like sculpture as a tribute to
the composer, as well as the Temppeliaukio Kirkko, a
church beautifully hewn out of solid granite.
8
Your tour showcases Market Square, a perennial outdoor
market, and Senate Square, undoubtedly the pride of the
city. Senate Square is ringed by a treasury of Empire
Neoclassic buildings, including the 19th-century Lutheran
Cathedral, whose central tower dominates the skyline.
