Overview
Our program brings you the best of both worlds: the consistency you rely on and the flexibility your group needs.
Immerse your students in the rich culture of Oslo, Copenhagen, and Stockholm on this art- and history-filled journey. Your class will explore the iconic Oslo Opera House, explore over 500 years in Norwegian history at the Norsk Folkemuseum, and get a local’s view of Copenhagen on an idyllic canal cruise. Your students can also look forward to exploring Stortorget, the historic center of medieval Stockholm, and discovering the Vasa Museum.
Itinerary
Day 2
Meet your Tour Director
Your 24-hour Tour Director will meet you at the airport and remain with your group until your final airport departure.
Day 4
Copenhagen city walk
Explore Copenhagen on a guided city walk through its historic and cultural landmarks. Visit the Church of Our Lady, home to Thorvaldsen’s famous sculptures of Christ and the apostles, and climb the Round Tower for panoramic views of the city. Stroll down Strøget, one of Europe’s longest pedestrian streets, lined with shops and cafés, and end at City Hall Square, the vibrant heart of Copenhagen’s civic life.
Day 8
Vasa Museum visit
Built in the 1600s, the Vasa was one of the most powerful warships of its time, boasting 64 cannons and intricate carvings. It tragically sank less than a mile into its maiden voyage and remained underwater for over 300 years before being raised in 1961, remarkably preserved.
Optional Extension
Add 3 Days in Finland
Set out on an overnight ferry to Helsinki, Finland’s vibrant capital. Enjoy a guided sightseeing tour featuring Temppeliauko Church, the City Museum, the Sibelius Monument, and Parliament House, followed by a city walk to see Helsinki University, Uspenski Cathedral, Market Square, and the Old Market Hall. The next day, cross the Gulf of Finland by ferry to Tallinn, Estonia’s beautifully preserved capital, to explore Old Town, City Hall, Hermann Tower, and the Parliament Building before returning to Helsinki by evening ferry and heading home.
