Good afternoon globe-roamers and welcome to your first stop of memory-making magic. After a bit of a mingle with the new squad we'll be getting into the spirit of our imminent adventures in Copenhagen. We've got all day tomorrow to suss out the city, so tonight can stay reserved for Contiki hangs if you're feeling social.

Before you go bursting out of your travel clothes thanks to your new-found pastry dependency, we're bailing on Denmark. Next stop: Norway!  To the call of castles, fresh seafood, & pretty parks, we respond! Today we're taking on Norway. 

Oslo, it’s been amazing. But there's one more thing to tick off before we leave. You can choose to sail the Oslo Fjord, taking in the breathtaking views along the way. Then, we'll head to the traditional city of Elverum with a stop at the world's largest single artist sculpture park on the way.

Hey hey, Lillehammer! Upon arrival we can check out the ski jump, take a stroll through the city and then find a spot for dinner. 

With plenty of churches and lakes, things are bound to feel authentically Scandinavian here in Elverum, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. 

Rise and shine! More adventures await us today. We're crossing the border from Norway to Sweden, so keep an eye out for the famous Vasaloppet start line.

Once we reach Torgås, you can join a hike during the day (with snowshoes if there’s snow). We’ll also be joined by some huskies… so be prepared for a cuteness overload.

For dinner tonight, we’ll tuck into a traditional Norwegian speciality – reindeer stew served with mashed potatoes and lingonberry. It’s enough to warm the cockles of your heart.

Today you'll wake up in Torgåsgården - a Contiki Special Stay renowned for its jaw-dropping natural beauty. Skiing, anyone? How about snowboarding? Maybe indoor swimming and high-speed water slides sound good? Whatever you fancy, you can choose to do it here!

Leaving Dalarna behind and bidding farewell to the orange Dala horse (Sweden's national symbol), we're headed to the capital today. Stockholm, here we come!

Hello Stockholm! We'll take an orientation tour of the city before checking into our stylish Generator accommodation. What next? Free time to really get to know the Venice of the North and grab dinner of your choice.

This morning we'll leave Sweden behind and fly across the Baltic Sea to Estonia.

Welcome to Tallinn, Estonia's elegant capital. This afternoon we'll explore this beautiful Baltic city on an orientation tour given by our TM, followed by a local dinner at F HOONE, with its sharing menu of healthy but seriously delicious local delicacies.

This morning we're setting our sights on Tartu...

A town known for its upbeat nightlife, bunting-clad town square, its wealth of cultural activities, and its 17th Century university, Tartu is an Estonian hidden gem. Take the day to explore every nook and cranny alongside your new pals and Trip Manager (or join us for a street art tour!). We'll meet back in the evening for a locally prepared meal full of cultural specialties.

Tartu, it's been emotional, but today we're heading for Latvia. 

An iconic tour, tasting & lunch awaits at Valmiermuiža Brewery, where we'll become acquainted with the cornerstones of brewing beer. 

Next, we'll stop by to visit the Cēsis Castle, one of the most iconic and best preserved castles in Latvia. 

Here we are in Riga! After a quick tour of the city with your Trip Manager, you have a free evening around Latvia's capital, resting quietly on the Baltic Sea. Sitting at the border between tradition and cutting edge modernism, this city will no doubt charm you with its art nouveau architecture and vibrant nightlife.

So long, Kaunas. We’re making our way to our next awesome destination today, and it’s none other than vibrant Vilnius! 

Welcome to Trakai Castle, a 14th century fortress built on an island on the glittering Lake Galve. This place looks just like a fairytale, so cameras at the ready…

Our journey ends here in Vilnius but not without a tour of the stunning baroque architecture that'll inspire you to remodel your own home. Take advantage of the street art lining the cobblestone streets and exchange details with all your new best friends. Time to lock in your next adventure!
