Celebrate the start of summer at sea as Magellan cruises from Dundee to the clear waters and long, sunlit days of the Baltic before returning home via Newcastle Upon Tyne. As Magellan sails north and east you'll have the chance to discover Danish Copenhagen and Aalborg, medieval Tallinn, Scandinavian gems Helsinki and Stockholm, and Warnemunde - gateway to historic Rostock and unmistakable Berlin - and spend two unforgettable days in Tsarist St Petersburg.
Board Magellan in Dundee, today, and settle in to your cabin as she prepares to set sail.
This morning Magellan arrives in Warnemunde. Discover the port's charming gabled houses and historic Neuer Markt, or join the optional excursion to Berlin to explore the city's highlights - from the Brandenburg Gate and the 1926 Olympic Stadium to Hitler's Bunker and Checkpoint Charlie.
Relax on board as Magellan spends another day at sea.
Magellan will spend two days at the docks of St Petersburg, one of the world's most startling and glorious cities, with its world-renowned Hermitage Museum, its wide canal-side boulevards and its modern cosmopolitan atmosphere. We'll have lots of time in the city, so don't miss our optional excursion to the Tsars' Summer Palace at Petrodvorets, the chance to explore the city's Haymarket, or the opportunity to see the opulence of the Mariinsky Theatre, home to the world-renowned Kirov Ballet.
Today, Magellan will thread its way between the countless islands of Sweden's eastern coast to Stockholm. Best explored on foot, the Swedish capital spans 14 islets and boasts a wonderful mix of historic sights and fine city parks. Its ancient heart is Gamla Stan, a beguiling labyrinth of cobbled streets, shops, cafes and restaurants.
Spend another day at sea, hopefully enjoying sunny skies, as Magellan heads back to the UK.
Our final Danish port is Aalborg. Explore the old town's 17th-century castle and painted buildings, or join an optional excursion to the Viking burial site at Lindholm Hoje. Aalborg is also the home of Aquavit, and a visit to the distillery and museum provides another enjoyable diversion.
Make the most of your final full day on board as Magellan cruises back into British waters.
Newcastle was once among the most vibrant centres of the British Industrial Revolution, and has now evolved into one of England's most energetic and exciting cities. Some of your newfound friends will disembark and finish their journey here, and you'll have some time to explore before beginning the final leg of your cruise.
Bid farewell to Magellan and all your fellow travellers, today, as you disembark at the end of your cruise.
