Day One
Make your way to Liverpool and board Ocean Countess for this evening's sailing.
Days Two and Three
The first two days of your cruise are spent on board. Get to know the ship and some of your fellow passengers, and make the most of the on-board amenities as Ocean Countess steams north east.
Day Four
Oslo welcomes Ocean Countess this morning. In the compact centre of the lively, friendly Norwegian capital, you'll be spoilt for things to do. Join an optional shore excursion to the Viking Ships museum, where a trio of ancient craft are lovingly preserved, or to the Kon-Tiki museum, where famed explorer Thor Heyerdahl's fragile craft is on display.
Day Five
This morning Ocean Countess docks in "wonderful, wonderful" Copenhagen. Stroll the stylish streets, or enjoy an excursion taking in the famous sights including the famous bronze statuette of the 'Little Mermaid'. Watch the world go by from a harbour-side bar in Nyhavn, and don't miss the sculpted walkways of the world-famous Tivoli Gardens.
Day Six
Today is spent at sea, cruising east through the Baltic, leaving you free to enjoy all the on-board facilities.
Day Seven
This morning's destination is the wonderful port of Helsinki, where the City Hall overlooks the fresh fish stalls and historic, covered Market Hall in Market Square. Stroll through Esplanade Park, and take in the panoramic views of the city and the sea beyond from the cathedral tower before we set sail once more in the afternoon.
Day Eight
Today is spent in the great Tsarist city of St Petersburg with its incomparable Hermitage Museum, its wide pedestrianised canalside boulevards and its modern and vibrant 'European' atmosphere.
Don't miss the chance to explore the city's Haymarket area, still redolent of scenes from Dostoyevsky's novels, or the opportunity to gaze in awe at the opulence of the Marinsky Theatre, home to the world renowned Kirov Ballet.
Day Nine
Almost impossibly beautiful, the Estonian capital Tallinn, with its enchanting and virtually pristine Old Town, is one of Europe's most scenic cities. Discover this timeless gem, with its winding cobbled streets of storybook houses, spectacular steepled churches, ancient buildings and Toompea Castle.
Day 10
Be on deck early this morning as Ocean Countess passes the myriad islands surrounding the Swedish capital, Stockholm. The city itself is built across 14 such islets, and is best explored on foot. One third water, one third city and one third green landscape, Stockholm offers a wonderful mix of historic sights, labyrinthine cobbled streets and fine parks.
Day 11
Today is spent at sea. Late this evening Ocean Countess will arrive in Holtenau to begin her transit of the Kiel Canal.
Day 12
Ocean Countess finishes her transit of the Kiel Canal early this morning, and you'll enjoy a final day at sea.
Day 13
Ocean Countess arrives back in Liverpool at the end of a fascinating cruise.
