The Medieval Charm of Tallinn! 🏰

Jess and Kayla have finished off their time in Europe exploring Tallinn, Estonia. Which is the last stop on our Magical Winter Tour this Nov/Dec. HOW BEAUTIFUL ARE ALL THE PHOTOS OF THE SNOW? ❄️ Tallinn is like stepping back in time as you stroll through the cobblestone streets of the Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site. From the stunning Alexander Nevsky Cathedral with its Russian-inspired architecture to the iconic lookouts for incredible views! Every corner of this medieval gem tells a story, you could wander the streets all day 😍
To top off the day we experienced a medieval dinner with traditional dishes in setting straight out of the Middle Ages.
Kayla use to guide through Tallinn and the Baltic States when she was Tour Guide in Europe so it was special for her to show Jess around and also all our clients later this year ❤️

Helsinki: A Perfect Blend of Trendy Vibes and Timeless Elegance ✨🌍

Helsinki, where modern style meets rich history at every corner. The stylish capital of Finland is known for its sleek design, trendy boutiques, and vibrant arts scene. But beyond the cutting-edge, Helsinki also holds deep historical charm - explore iconic landmarks like Senate Square, the majestic Helsinki Cathedral, and the grand Suomenlinna Fortress, a UNESCO World Heritage site. No visit is complete without stopping by the Old Market Hall, a historic gem that has been serving locals and visitors since 1889. Here, you can sample traditional Finnish delicacies. Jess and Kayla's favourite was the Salmon Soup, it tasted like a recipe that's been passed down for generations. We can't wait to take those guests on our Magical Winter Tour to experience the Market Hall and all Helsinki has to offer this December. ♥️

Ahoy! Another sea-faring tale from Ellie!
A few words from Ellie’s Viking Ship inspection a couple of weeks ago:
Valentine's Day this year was unforgettable as I spent it aboard the Viking Venus, a luxurious ocean liner with the charm of a Scandinavian manor. With 930 passengers, 9 decks, and elegant interiors, it felt like a mansion on water. The grand entry hall opened to lounges, a bar, and a grand staircase, all bathed in natural light with stunning views of the water. The ship's dining rooms were breathtaking, with custom details and private dining areas featuring beautiful wooden tables crafted from trees found in Sweden.
The Torshavn bar, a cozy spot with live music, and the luxurious spa with Nordic bathing rituals were highlights. The state-of-the-art gym and theatre added to the experience, as did the spacious staterooms with modern amenities. The pool area, with its retractable glass roof, was a showstopper, and the Wintergarden provided a serene spot for afternoon tea. My tour ended at the Explorer’s Lounge, a nautically inspired area with panoramic views, perfect for relaxing and enjoying!

Interested in a Holiday with Viking, come along to their VIKING EXPLORER SESSION to learn more! Discover fascinating destinations, intriguing onboard and onshore experiences and learn what sets Viking apart from other cruise lines. Plus, you’ll enjoy complimentary refreshments and receive an exclusive offer for joining the presentation on the day.

Discover the Fairy-tale of Heidelberg, Germany! 🏰

Jess and Kayla have been exploring Heidelberg as we are taking 18 lucky clients to Heidelberg on our Magical Winter Tour this Nov/Dec. This city is full of breathtaking views showing a fascinating glimpse into the past! You can spend hours wondering through the charming narrow streets of the Old Town (Altstadt). Don’t miss the iconic Old Bridge for that perfect photo op! Enjoy a German meal or drink at one of the many cafes and restaurants lining the streets.
Heidelberg Castle is the HIGHLIGHT! One of Germany's most iconic landmarks. This impressive fortress dates back to the 13th century and has witnessed centuries of history, from royal residences to military battles. The castle complex is a blend of Gothic and Renaissance architecture, with beautifully restored rooms, magnificent courtyards, and picturesque gardens that transport you back in time. 🙌

Jess and Kayla have arrived in Frankfurt 🇩🇪 They are visiting prior to our Magical Winter Tour this Nov/Dec that kicks off in Frankfurt for the Christmas Markets.

Discovering Zurich, Switzerland 🇨🇭

Zurich is the perfect blend of history, nature, and relaxation. Jess and Kayla soaked up the early Spring sunshine wandering through the cobblestone streets of the Altstadt (Old Town), where medieval buildings meet charming cafes and historic landmarks like Grossmünster Church. A short walk along the River Limmat you reach Lake Zurich, where you can enjoy stunning views of the Alps!

The city has a rich history dating back to Roman times, Zurich has evolved into Switzerland's cultural and financial hub, yet still retains its relaxed charm. It’s a city that feels both timeless and modern, making it an unforgettable destination. Clients on our sold out Jewels of France and Switzerland are in for a treat with their first stop being Zurich 😍

Our tip - For a true Zurich experience, enjoy a picnic along the river, sipping local Swiss wine and savoring cheese and bread. It's the perfect way to unwind in this beautiful city like the locals.
