New discoveries up close: on the HANSEATIC spirit’s premiere route to southern Scandinavia. The route there takes you on a daytime passage through the Kiel Canal, with knowledgeable commentary from your experts on board. Rugen is a pearl of the Baltic Sea – with resort architecture par excellence. Experience Germany’s largest island on the steam train “Rasender Roland”*. Bornholm is more than an idyll of sand dunes and rocky coasts. Driven by the spirit of discovery, the Zodiacs will take you to the Ertholmene Islands. Weather permitting, you will reach the sea fortress of Christianso. On the main island, you can stroll through the lanes of the picturesque fishing village of Gudhjem or enjoy the south of Bornholm*. Style, charm and the art of living: you can explore Copenhagen in many ways – even enjoying the thrilling expedition feeling on a Zodiac ride through the canals. An extra three days are planned for the subsequent discoveries in the Swedish archipelago. A flexible course, a great feeling: in the Zodiac and during landings, you’ll experience the true spirit of expedition. The scenic towns of Marstrand, Lysekil and Fjallbacka are hardly known. All the more reason to savour the relaxed lifestyle of the locals to the full. The focus is always on nature – with hikes along idyllic beaches and rugged stretches of coastline. Norway’s heart beats in Oslo. In addition to world-class museums, you will experience a hike* through Nordmarka to Holmenkollen. Say goodbye to the diversity of Scandinavia with a “hej då!” as you head back to Hamburg through the Oslofjord in the evening.
