This trip was a hidden gem! The Scandinavian capitals were stylish, and the Baltics were full of history and charm. The fjords in Norway were absolutely breathtaking!
Had a great time, beautiful ride - usually little traffic. The hotels were amazing and the two dinners were incredible. Highly recommend the Finnish Archipelago ride.
