Guests can this week set sail aboard the magnificent Costa Mediterranea as they uncover the charm of some of Northern Europe’s most beautiful destinations.

Departing from inimitable Amsterdam, cruise on to the Danish capital of Copenhagen, a vibrant city effortlessly mixing cosmopolitan city life with a laid back sense of old world charm. The next port of call is Stockholm, a city famed for its colourful architecture and home to a multitude of stylish shops, cutting edge fashion and ultra-sleek boutiques.

Following a stop off in the Finish capital of Helsinki, cruise on to the idyllic streets of St Petersburg. Known as the ‘the Venice of the North’, this enchanting city features a host of world famous landmarks, including the Winter Palace and St Issac’s Cathedral.

Before finally heading home, travel on to the Estonian capital of Tallin and the idyllic island of Bornholm, where dramatic coastlines, verdant forests and rushing streams, give this Danish island its unique charm.

The trip departs Amsterdam on May 13th, with prices starting at £929 – based on two adults sharing an inside cabin on a cruise-only basis for ten nights, including all meals. Head over to Costa Cruises for more information.
