Baltic Sea Capitals

Travelling the Baltic Sea by ship is an amazing way to experience the “White Nights”, the longest days of the year.  Even though the sun will be reluctant to set as you sail from country to country overnight, you will want to get some sleep on board for when you disembark the ship to explore each of these Capital cities. Guided tours of Stockholm, Tallinn and Helsinki will familiarize you with each seaside city before providing you with free time for additional explorations or shopping. Sample a traditional Smörgåsbord in Stockholm, taste smoked elk and reindeer in Helsinki, and brave black pudding and beetroot salad in Tallinn. Two overnights in each city will give you the chance to see, try, and do it all!

The White Nights only happen in June and spaces are extremely limited. This trip is expected to sell out fast. Reserve your Baltic Sea White Nights experience with Kaiserslautern Outdoor Recreation today.
