DAY 3: Helsinki. Overnight cruise to Stockholm.
Guided city tour of Helsinki, Visit Lutheran Temppeliaukio Church , Visit Sibelius Monument

Meals: Breakfast , Indian lunch and Local International buffet dinner on Board the cruise

We are about to meander through Europe’s youngest capital, Helsinki. There are no antique ruins or remains, no medieval squares and not even a palace here, all you have is a vibrant metropolis with a multi-faceted architecture that boasts as much of Neoclassicism as it does of Romanticism and Modernism.

We begin our guided city tour of Helsinki immediately after breakfast discovering some of the world’s most distinct architectural merits such as Finlandia Hall (the leading congress, event and entertainment venue in Finland), the Helsinki Cathedral, the Market Square (bustling with activities with vendors selling fresh food and souvenirs) and many other landmarks. The highlights of the city tour, however, happen to be our visits to the Lutheran Temppeliaukio Church (a unique Rock Church known for its thrilling work of modern architecture, built entirely underground with a ceiling made of copper wire) and the Sibelius Monument (dedicated to the Finnish Composer, Jean Sibelius, consisting of a series of more than 600 hollow steel pipes welded together in a wave-like pattern).

We then halt at a popular Indian restaurant for lunch before boarding our ship at Silja Line in Helsinki that will take us on to Stockholm, Sweden. As we see Finland disappearing before us, we gear up to embrace ourselves for a night spent marvelling at the eternity of the blue water beneath us, pausing only to enjoy a lavish dinner buffet served aboard. Overnight on board the ferry.

Note: From the moment we step on the ship, we follow Swedish time till Copenhagen , which is one hour behind Finland.

DAY 4 : Arrive Stockholm.
Explore Stockholm Guided City Tour of Stockholm , Visit City Hall , Visit the Ice Bar

Meals: Breakfast on board the cruise , Indian lunch, Indian dinner

After enjoying breakfast while cruising on the Baltic Sea, we disembark the ship in Stockholm. Without wasting any time at all, we start our guided city tour of the Swedish capital sprawled over 14 islands. Incidentally, one-third of this coastal capital consists of water while another one-third is occupied by parks and woodlands. It’s safe to say then that there is certainly no dearth of scenic beauty in Stockholm, but scenic stretches aren’t all there is to the town; there is also an interesting amalgamation of historic architectural treasures and that of modern structures. We get a hint of this beautiful blend of historic and modern as our tour takes us past popular landmarks like The Royal Palace, the Skansen Open-Air Museum (the world’s first ever open-air museum) and Gamla Stan (the colour-rioted old town) among others. Enjoy lunch at Indian restaurant.

The final destination on our itinerary today is the Stadshuset, the iconic Stockholm City Hall which is often spotted on pictures and postcards of Sweden. Apart from assembly rooms and offices the building also houses grand ceremonial halls including The Blue Hall (which houses the world’s largest organ with 10,270 pipes) and The Golden Hall (which is adorned with no less than 18 million mosaic tiles that depict Swedish history).

We then visit the Ice Bar, yes you heard that right. All of the interior components of the Ice Bar, including the spectacular glasses, are made of pure, clear ice from the Torne River in northern Sweden. The interior of the Ice Bar is kept at a crisp 23 degrees Fahrenheit temperature (-5° C) all year round. When you arrive, an Ice Bar employee will help you don the marvellous silver capes and mittens that are designed to keep your body heat inside so that you are kept warm. The Ice Bar has an interesting variety of drinks-all made with Vodka, of course! Visitors who do not drink alcohol can get juice or other non-alcoholic drinks.

Satisfied with our day’s excursion, we have the evening to ourselves to wade off the exhaustion that the cruise ride and the sightseeing brought along. Before we hit the bed, there’s one last thing to do step out for dinner at another Indian restaurant. Overnight Stockholm .

Later we proceed to visit the Sky View , SkyView is the attraction that takes you up along the outside of the Avicii Arena inside two specially designed glass gondolas. Giving you a fantastic panoramic view from 85 meters up in the sky. Enjoy Indo Chinese lunch at Indian restaurant.

We begin our Oslo guided city tour after breakfast today, that will take us past the most popular attractions of the town. The Akershus Fortress, the Royal Palace, the Oslo Cathedral, the City Hall and the National Opera Theatre to name a few.

One of the biggest highlights of the tour happens to be our visit to the world’s largest sculpture park by a single artist, Vigeland Sculpture Park, one of Norway’s most visited tourist attractions. The park features more than 200 sculptures crafted out of bronze, granite and wrought iron by artist, Gustav Vigeland; the Wheel of Life and the 16-metre long Monolith (depicting 121 intertwined human bodies) being the most popular among these sculptures. Enjoy lunch at Indian restaurant.

Last on our list of must-visit attractions in the Norweigan capital, is the Holmenkollen Ski Jump & Museum. Perched atop a hill, the journey to the Ski Jump area alone is quite an interesting one and once there, the sheer height of the construction is likely to blow your mind away, irrespective of whether you are a ski enthusiast or not.

Onto Bergen Excursion Norway in a Nutshell

Irrespective of how impressed we are by the architectural and cultural heritage of Oslo, it is an undeniable fact that you haven’t really seen Norway if you haven’t spent some time submerging yourself in the splendour of its natural beauty that comprises scenic landscapes, fascinating fjords and majestic mountains. And the best way to experience this beauty is to take the ‘Norway in a Nutshell’ tour, which is on our agenda for today. The tour, literally, is a long journey from Oslo to Bergen via trains, ferries and buses that take us past some of Europe’s most scenic stretches.

After breakfast, we proceed to board the train from Geilo to Myrdal that offers spectacular views of mountainous terrains. We then board our next train from Myrdal to Flam which gives us a glimpse of the Norwegian Fjords. Local lunch/ brunch will be served .From Flam starts our water voyage with a fjord cruise on the Aurlandsfjord and the Naeroyfjord (which is the narrowest fjord in Europe surrounded by huge mountains).

DAY 10 : Visit Bergen

Meals: Breakfast, Indian lunch , Indian dinner

When you have seven hills standing guard for a coastal city with an entire coastal belt of the city listed as UNESCO’s World Heritage Site, one thing you can expect from the town is ample beauty all around, both, in terms of landscape and cityscape. It is safe to say then that Bergen is nothing if not absolutely and entirely awe-inspiring.

Soon after breakfast today, we begin our guided tour of the city which takes us through its upward meandering roads past popular landmarks like the Fantoft Stave Church (though reconstructed in 1992, is still a classic expression of early Norwegian art), the Bergenhus Fortress (one of the best-preserved medieval building in all of Norway) and the Troldhaugen Villa (home of Norway’s most famous composer, Edvard Grieg, and his wife).

The most beautiful sight, however, in all of Bergen is the Bryggen Hanseatic Wharf, a coastal belt of colourful timbre structures that has often found its way not just on postcards but on several desktops across the world as a screen saver. One of the most visited attractions of the town, the Hanseatic Wharf now comprises a small museum and several shops, cafes and restaurants.

We then head to an Indian restaurant to enjoy a delicious lunch.

After lunch take a trip up one of its much-talked-about seven mountains, next on our itinerary is a ride on the Floibanen, a funicular train that takes us up Mount Floyen. This mountaintop is where you get the most splendid panoramic views of the city below.
