Sail the Baltic Sea to the maritime metropolises of Stockholm, Helsinki, and Tallinn with Army Outdoor Recreation!

Cruising from city to city is the best way to make the most of the “White Nights”, the longest days of the year. Instead of spending your days idly riding on a bus from place to place, traveling by cruise ship fills your valuable time with all the amenities a floating hotel can offer. Enjoy dinner, drinks, and entertainment on board, but remember that even though the sun will be reluctant to set, you can get some sleep in a comfortable bed on board so you arrive well-rested at each new destination. Guided tours of all three Baltic capitals will familiarize you with their own unique atmospheres before providing you with plenty of free time for additional explorations, sight-seeing and shopping. Sample a traditional Smörgåsbord in Stockholm, marvel at the modern design and stunning architecture of Helsinki, and walk the fairytale cobblestone streets of Tallinn's Old Town. Spending two overnights in each city will give you the time to do it all!

The White Nights only happen in June, and spaces are limited. Reserve your Baltic Sea White Nights Experience with Army Outdoor Recreation today.

This afternoon, you will board MS Baltic Queen for a scenic overnight cruise to Stockholm. Once you've settled into your cabin, the ship is yours to explore.

It's the perfect way to begin your grand journey, with the promise of a spectacular sight to come.

Thursday, June 18 | Stockholm: The Venice of the North

Wake up to a view you'll never forget. Your ship is now navigating the Swedish Archipelago, a breathtaking labyrinth of over 20,000 islands. After breakfast you can claim a spot on deck to watch the spellbinding landscape glide past before you arrive in Stockholm. A city tour will introduce you to many of the city’s highlights, from the splendor of the royal palace to the bustling waterfront.
