Ports of Call
Copenhagen, Denmark
The quintessential starting point is Nyhavn, the 17th-century harbor lined with brightly colored townhouses, historic wooden ships, and bustling cafes. It’s undeniably picturesque and the perfect place to absorb the city's maritime spirit. From there, a walk through the city center reveals a rich royal history. Visit Amalienborg Palace, the home of the Danish royal family, to witness the precision of the Royal Guard's changing of the guard ceremony. Nearby, Rosenborg Castle, a Dutch Renaissance gem, houses the dazzling Danish Crown Jewels within its historic walls.
No visit is complete without acknowledging the city’s most famous resident, The Little Mermaid. It’s important to set expectations: the statue is famously small and sits modestly on a rock by the Langelinie promenade, often near where ships dock. While its scale may surprise you, seeing it is a classic Copenhagen moment. For a more immersive experience, consider Tivoli Gardens. More than just an amusement park, it’s a national treasure with lush gardens, charming architecture, and a nostalgic atmosphere that has enchanted visitors since 1843.
To experience modern Copenhagen life, explore the Strøget, one of Europe's longest pedestrian shopping streets, or dive into the city's celebrated food scene. Forgo a generic lunch and seek out a traditional restaurant for smørrebrød—artfully composed open-faced sandwiches—or visit the Torvehallerne food market for a vibrant taste of local and international flavors. Copenhagen delivers a day of sophisticated culture, understated elegance, and the cozy contentment the Danes call *hygge*.
At Sea - Cruising
Stockholm, Sweden
The absolute, must-see attraction is the Vasa Museum. This is not just another maritime exhibit; it is a breathtaking time capsule. The museum houses a nearly intact 17th-century warship that sank in the harbor on its maiden voyage in 1628. Salvaged centuries later, its sheer scale and preserved detail offer a singular, powerful connection to the past. It is located on the island of Djurgården, which also hosts the Skansen open-air museum, providing a comprehensive look at Swedish life through the centuries.
From there, a short ferry or tram ride brings you to Gamla Stan, the Old Town. This is the Stockholm of postcards: a labyrinth of narrow cobblestone alleys, ochre- and rust-colored buildings, and the imposing Royal Palace. While it is the city’s tourist heart, its charm is undeniable. We recommend finding a quiet side street for a traditional *fika*—a coffee and pastry break that is a cherished Swedish ritual. For a broader cultural scope, the Nationalmuseum showcases Sweden’s premier collection of art and design, from old masters to contemporary works. A day in Stockholm is an immersion in a city that is both a living museum and a forward-thinking metropolis, offering a sophisticated and deeply rewarding experience.
Tallinn, Estonia
Ascend to Toompea Hill, the Upper Town, which was historically the domain of the ruling elite. Here, the imposing, onion-domed Alexander Nevsky Cathedral stands as a powerful symbol of former Tsarist influence, offering a stark contrast to the nearby Toompea Castle, now home to Estonia's parliament. For the best perspective, make your way to the Kohtuotsa or Patkuli viewing platforms for panoramic views over the city's iconic red-tiled roofs and church spires toward the Baltic Sea.
For a change of pace, the elegant Kadriorg district reveals a different era. Commissioned by Peter the Great for Catherine I, the baroque Kadriorg Palace is surrounded by manicured gardens and houses a significant foreign art collection. Nearby, the modern Kumu Art Museum showcases Estonian art from the 18th century to the present. To experience Tallinn's contemporary pulse, consider the Telliskivi Creative City, a former industrial complex transformed into a vibrant hub of design shops, street art, and independent cafes. The core of Tallinn is exceptionally walkable, allowing for a rich, self-guided exploration of centuries of history within a single day.
St. Petersburg, Russia
Helsinki, Finland
A must-see is the Temppeliaukio Church, known as the Rock Church. Blasted directly into solid rock and topped with a copper dome, its raw, natural interior is an unforgettable testament to Finnish ingenuity. For a different perspective, visit the Sibelius Monument, an abstract collection of over 600 steel pipes honoring Finland’s most famous composer. A short and scenic ferry ride from the Market Square takes you to the Suomenlinna Sea Fortress, a UNESCO World Heritage site. This sprawling maritime fortress, spread across several islands, offers historic ramparts, museums, artist studios, and lovely walking paths with panoramic views of the sea. For those interested in design, a stroll through the Punavuori district, Helsinki’s Design District, reveals a network of boutiques, galleries, and workshops showcasing the best of Finnish form and function.

What Can Travel Insurance Help Protect?
Allianz Travel Insurance plans can protect you before and during your trip—keeping you, your loved ones, and your travel budget safer. Benefits vary by plan, and these are brief descriptions. Please read your plan documents for details.
TRIP CANCELLATION
Reimburses your prepaid, non-refundable travel expenses if you need to cancel your trip due to a covered reason, such as you, a family member, or traveling companion experiencing a covered illness or injury. Examples include:
- A doctor says you or a traveling companion is too sick to fly
- Your parent or child requires hospitalization
- You need to attend the birth of a family member’s child
- You have a traffic accident (not breakdown) on the way to the airport
- A storm shuts down your airport for 24 hours or more
TRIP INTERRUPTION
Reimburses your unused, non-refundable travel expenses and increased transportation costs during your trip if you have to return home early due to a covered reason, for instance when a family member has a qualifying medical emergency and needs your care. Examples include:
- You have a covered illness or injury and a doctor says you must return home
- A family member has a qualifying injury and needs your care
- A covered emergency, like a fire or flood, makes your home uninhabitable
TRAVEL DELAY
If you have a covered delay while traveling, travel insurance can reimburse you for meals, accommodations, and transportation expenses when your trip is delayed for a minimum number of consecutive hours for a covered reason. Minimum number of hours varies by plan.
EMERGENCY MEDICAL AND DENTAL CARE
Reimburses your expenses related to covered medical and dental emergencies* that might occur on your trip. This benefit can be especially helpful if you have a covered emergency outside the United States, as most health insurance policies won’t cover you outside the country. Examples include:
- You slip and break your ankle while sightseeing
- You get food poisoning while sampling the local cuisine
- You lose a filling and need immediate dental treatment*
*A sublimit and maximum apply for this benefit. Check your plan documents for details.
