Bring history to life

Europe’s history is rich and storied, and the northern nations are no exception. An excursion to Tórshavn, the capital of the Faroe Islands in the North Atlantic Ocean, gives you a glimpse into a world shaped by Vikings. See how this town has been transformed from a simple market to a thriving capital full of Nordic wonders, including a drive up to the Nordic House where you can see the history of the islands’ art and architecture up close.

 

Journey back to see the elegance of how the Romans lived in Bath, England. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, get a taste of how this now quaint city was once the first spa resort for the Romans, with a walk through the preserved baths and other unique archeological finds.

 

Study the unique architecture

Calling at the sea resort district of Warnemünde, Germany, drive to nearby Berlin where you can experience walking beside portions of the Berlin Wall, arguably some of the most historically important architecture in modern history. Travel across the Baltic Sea to Copenhagen, Denmark’s capital, where iconic landmarks such as Christiansborg Palace and Tivoli Gardens await you.

If you want to lose yourself in a fairytale-like world of old historic lanes and streets, you’ll delight at Edinburgh’s Royal Mile, looking up at the beautiful mixture of Georgian and neoclassical architecture. Whilst in Scotland, take a scenic drive through Fife’s rolling hills to visit the impressive ruins of St. Andrews Cathedral which date back to 1158.

 

Indulge in local delicacies 

Prepare for a day of culinary exploration when you arrive in Finland’s capital, Helsinki. On a guided tour of the local markets with your chef from the Culinary Arts Kitchen, you can sample local delicacies and hand-pick fresh ingredients for your next meal back on board with Regent Seven Seas Cruises. 

Stroll along the colonial harborside in Greenland’s friendly capital on the waterfront, Nuuk, where the daily catch is sold fresh in markets. Hunters will also sell their latest meats here and local staff are always happy to chat with you to enrich your understanding of what they offer.

 

Immerse yourself in the culture of famous cities 

From the famous canals of Amsterdam, where the buildings are as beautiful as the paintings in their 140 galleries and 40 museums, to London’s iconic landmarks such as Tower Bridge, Hyde Park, and Buckingham Palace, home to the late Queen Elizabeth II, Northern Europe offers a glimpse of a medieval past and the peaceful serenity of the present day. 

Learn more about the maritime nation of Scandinavia and Norway with visits to the architecturally mixed capital of Oslo or sail further north along the fjords to Hammerfest where you can discover the dramatic history of this outpost during World War II.
