Amsterdam is the perfect opening to this delightful cruise. A leisurely canal boat ride, or optional guided walk through its historic streets is the ideal way to explore the charming Dutch capital. The next day your sightseeing takes place from the comfort of Marco Polo. Watch every day life unfold along the banks as you transit the Kiel Canal. Your next stop Hanseatic Wismar is a medieval gem whose historic streets beg exploration. Optional tours from here include cosmopolitan Hamburg and the once-divided city of Berlin. With its wonderful blend of historic buildings and modern architecture, narrow streets and cosy cafes, Helsingborg is a delight. It sits at the narrowest point of the Öresund Strait where Sweden almost meets Denmark. Why not take an optional tour and enjoy two countries in one day? Wonderful Copenhagen, with its iconic statue of the Little Mermaid, is a city that needs no introduction. An overnight stop gives you the chance to enjoy an evening at the famous Tivioli Gardens. Oslo is renowned for its world-class museums and beautiful parks. After a morning exploring Norway’s sophisticated capital you can relax on board and enjoy the scenery of Oslofjord as Marco Polo sets sail for Tilbury.

	With more bicycles than permanent residents, the Dutch capital is both charming and quirky. Aesthetically little has changed in the centre since its 17th century Golden Age. Beautiful gabled houses and merchants’ mansions line serene, tree-lined canals, which are laid out in five concentric circles and crossed by numerous bridges. The Royal Palace, originally built as a Town Hall in the 17th century, stands on a large square in the centre of the city. Considered one of Europe’s major art capitals, Amsterdam is home to a number of superb galleries and museums including the famous Rijksmuseum, the Anne Frank House and the Van Gogh Museum.

	The medieval town of Wismar on Germany’s Baltic coast was during the 14th and 15th centuries a major trading centre of the Hanseatic League. The old quarter, with its distinctive gabled architecture and cobbled stone streets, is a wonderful legacy of Wismar’s Hanseatic heyday. Excursions from this historic city take you to Germany’s capital that until the fall of the Berlin Wall was divided between East and West. Other options include Germany’s second city Hamburg. The sophisticated cosmopolitan city is beautifully sited on the banks of the River Elbe and around the Alster Lake.

	Helsingborg is situated at the narrowest part of the Øresund Strait that separates Sweden from Denmark. Its town charter was granted more than 900 years ago making Helsingborg one of Sweden’s oldest cities. The magnificent neo-gothic Town Hall, beautiful church of St. Mary and striking Dunker Culture Centre are landmarks in the attractive city, which successfully blends both historic and contemporary architecture. There are magnificent views of the city and across to Denmark from the top of the medieval tower Kärnan. Further along the coast the former royal residence and newly restored Sofiero Palace is famous for its wonderful garden.

	The largest city in Scandinavia, capital of Denmark for over 600 years and home to the world’s oldest monarchy, Copenhagen is the most charming of Baltic cities. Beautiful parks and gardens, attractive 17th and 18th century buildings, grand castles and the elegant Amalienborg Palace – home to the reigning Queen Margrethe II, grace the city that is laced with a labyrinth of winding canals. Cafes and restaurants spill out of brightly coloured townhouses onto the cobblestone streets in historic Nyhavn. The atmospheric waterfront area is a popular meeting place along with the world’s oldest entertainment park Tivoli Gardens.

	Encircled by wooded hills and the peaks of Ekeberg, Holmenkollen and Grefsenkollen, Oslo lies at the head of the beautiful Oslofjord. With its medieval Akershus Fortress, modern City Hall and cutting-edge Opera House, Norway’s capital is an engaging mix of old and new. The Cathedral, Parliament House and National Theatre are all found in the city’s main thoroughfare, Karl Johans Gate, which runs through the centre up to the attractive Royal Palace.
