Description - What to expect

We cross the Øresund Bridge to Copenhagen and then after a stop at Copenhagen Central Station, travel along the coastal road, Strandvejen, and arrive in the charming old town of Helsingør, known as Elsinore in English, where you have time on your own to visit Hamlet's Kronborg Castle or explore the little streets of Helsingør, where many of the buildings date back to the 1500s and 1600s.

After we visit Elsinore, we sail across the Øresund to Sweden and travel along the Swedish country roads to the ancient city of Lund, where you can visit Lund Cathedral, which was completed in the year 1145. Behind the cathedral, you can explore the tiny streets, with houses dating back to the 1700s. It’s like stepping back into history!
