Situated on the southern coast of Norway, Kristiansand is a charming 17th century town, which was named after its founder King Christian IV in 1641. Norway’s Summer City seamlessly knits together culture and nature. Inviting beaches stretch right into town, while its main street, Markens, leads you past shops and cafés to wooded countryside. This photo shows the charming waterfront town of Lillesand, which can be visited by boat on the ‘Tømmerstø and Lillesand’ shore excursion.

Copenhagen deserves its ‘wonderful wonderful’ epithet. The colourful fishing district around Nyhavn, the delights of Tivoli and the impressive Royal Palaces all contribute towards the easy-going bonhomie of this wonderful city. With so much to see in Copenhagen, a shore excursion is highly recommended here, so you can pack plenty into your day ashore.

Tallinn is unquestionably one of Europe’s most magical capitals, competing even with Prague in the richness of its architectural heritage. Estonia’s post-independence renaissance has given exuberant new life to this medieval Hanseatic city, whose old town - with its gloriously contrived and almost theatrical tableau of gabled roofs, fairy-tale turrets and soaring spires - dazzles the eye and imagination alike.
