Midsummer Cruise on M/S Kristina Regina
6 days / 5 nights, Estonia - Latvia - Sweden - Åland Islands | Midsummer, full of wonders and festivities, is the most popular festival in Scandinavia, dating back to the Viking age or even earlier. It is a celebration of the Summer solstice, the longest day of the year. In Sweden and Finland, Midsummer, the time of magic and wonder-working, is celebrated as a public holiday during the third weekend of June.
What better way to experience the celebrations of Midsummer than on a small ship cruise. Come sail with us from Helsinki to Riga and to Visby, perhaps the best-preserved medieval towns in the Baltic and Scandinavia, both named a UNESCO World Heritage Site. On Åland we visit the maritime city of Mariehamn, founded in 1861 while Åland and Finland formed part of the mighty Russian Empire. Return voyage across the Baltic Sea to Helsinki.
