In their architecture and world-famous landmarks; their cultural and historical highlights; and their scenic, artistic and aesthetic delights, you’ll get to see and fully experience the grandeur of Baltic cities on this memorable journey of discovery. Your attraction-packed adventure takes you to Scandinavia, where you’re in for rewarding explorations of captivating capitals. Uncover the many highlights of Copenhagen, including the impressive Christiansborg and Amalienborg palaces, and 17th century Nyhavn waterfront district, with ease as Balmoral docks closer to the heart of the city; wander the historic Gamla Stan District and admire the Royal Palace in Stockholm; and experience scenic cruising through the rugged isles and islets of the beautiful Stockholm Archipelago.
Enchanting capital cities await you in Estonia and Finland too. You've a chance to revel in the fairytale-esque charms of Tallin and it's Old Town's medieval castles, cathedrals and churches, and meet one of the local bell ringers, and enjoy a taste of Finnish culture in Helsinki. You’ll get to appreciate the art and architecture of this pretty city and sample some of traditional cuisine, while you could even relax like a local at a sauna spa. In Finland there's also a rare visit to the beautiful island city of Kotka. Meanwhile, in Germany, Balmoral will take you on a scenic navigation of the Kiel Canal, and closer to Warnemunde, to discover this seaside town’s many charms, or perhaps even tour to Berlin.
Richard and Sue have lived in Bedfordshire for over 30 years, where they have brought up their three children. Richard learnt to play bridge at the age of 11 but only set foot in a bridge club after retiring in 2016 and soon became fascinated by the game and has taken every opportunity to improve his knowledge. Richard is an EBU qualified teacher and director and directs regularly F2F and on-line.
Sue is a more recent convert to the game and now enjoys playing at the local club and on-line. Sue has excellent organisational skills and will ensure the sessions run smoothly and everyone feels welcome and involved in all the activities.
