    Stockholm, Sweden
    • Stockholm, Sweden
    Anchored opposite the old town, which shines brightly during this Advent period, you will be immersed in the unrivaled wonderland of Stockholm as it prepares for Christmas - Jul in Swedish. Singing and music resonate from the narrow and lit-up streets of the historic center Gamla stan. Share the Swedish enthusiasm for this time of the year and indulge in a hot glogg spicy mulled wine at the stalls of a Christmas market, amidst the aromas of cinnamon and ginger. In daylight hours, you will sail through the hushed decor of the Stockholm archipelago. A constellation of skerries - islets and reefs that rise to the surface of the water - stretches over fifty or so kilometers (30 miles) in the Baltic Sea. On the inhabited lands, bright red facades punctuate the blue-tinged landscape formed by the water and the sky. ...

    Visby, a veritable Viking-era treasure anchored off the southeastern Swedish coast, is the largest town on the island of Gotland. Take shelter from the wind behind the Visby ringmuren, the 3.5-kilometer-long (2.2 miles) perimeter wall that encircles the town, dotted with towers and gates. Dive into the history of this city, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, through the remains of the 12th-century church and Saint Mary's Cathedral. Learn more by visiting the Gotland Museum, which has many archeological discoveries dating back to the Viking era. Wander the paved streets edged with cafes and restaurants where you can try the local speciality, saffranspannkaka, saffron pancakes served with berries and cream.
