CRUISE 1

Copenhagen, Finnish Archipelago, East coast of Sweden

Embarking from and returning to Copenhagen, this is a delightful cruise of around 1200 nautical miles visiting ports and islands in Denmark, Finland and Sweden. First port of call is the Danish island of Bornholm. Legend has it that when God finished creating Scandinavia he was left with a little of the best of everything. He placed this in the most beautiful part of the Baltic to create Bornholm. Next is the Swedish island of Gotland, said to experience the region’s finest summer weather.

Its ancient port of Visby, with 13th century towers, is a fascinating place but can be very busy in the midsummer festival season. Heading NNE, the Finnish Archipelago, at the mouth of the Gulf of Finland, offers innumerable islands and options. Returning westwards lay the Finnish Aland Islands and, westwards again, the coast of Sweden where the city of Stockholm, the Kalmarsund straits and a huge variety of coastal cruising possibilities await on a southbound passage to round southern Sweden and return to Copenhagen.
