The walled city of Tallinn is resplendent in its remarkably preserved buildings and monuments. Stroll through ancient cobblestone streets, admiring St. Nicholas Church, the 13th-century Toompea Castle and lively Market Square, before enjoying a medieval feast at lunch and time at leisure. 

Day 6 ? DISCOVER ST. PETERSBURG (B, L, D) 

Arrive in the glorious city of St. Petersburg, the indisputable jewel of the Baltic and the cultural capital of Russia, where Radisson Seven Seas Voyager will be docked for two nights. A guided tour of city sights includes the imposing 18th-century Peter and Paul Fortress. Adjacent to the Fortress is the golden-spired Cathedral, hallowed burial ground of the Romanov Dynasty, including the tomb of Peter the Great.

Day 7 ? ST. PETERSBURG TREASURES / RUSSIAN BALLET (B, L, D) 

St. Petersburg astounds with a legacy of history, the arts and striking beauty.

Enjoy an evening of Ballet tonight. 

Day 8 ? THE STATE HERMITAGE MUSEUM (B, L, D)

Day 9 ? CRUISE THE BALTIC SEA - DAY AT SEA

Raised in 1961, the historic ship is now the centerpiece of the city’s most popular museum. Join us for a Farewell dinner this evening.
