126 | RSSC.COM NORTHERN EUROPE LIFELONG IMPRESSIONS IN STORIED LANDS Seasoned travelers know that sometimes you leave a place, but it doesn’t leave you. Northern Europe is rich in such destinations. This is a land of hearty ancestors whose primitive buildings and artworks may crumble, but whose myths, legends and fables only flourish with successive generations. We arrive at these ports of call with expectations. We leave humbled, changed, yearning to return. Seven Seas Splendor™ makes multiple returns to one such place in 2023: St. Petersburg, the grand city founded by Tsar Peter the Great on the Neva River in 1703. The list of must-sees is familiar — Catherine Palace's Hall of Light, the gilded dome of St. Isaac's Cathedral, the Hermitage’s indescribable Winter Palace — but your memories will be unique, and treasured forever. Seven Seas Voyager® dances with Portugal’s rhythmic coast before sailing north to the jewels of the Baltics. Stroll through the late 17th-century architecture of the Naval Port of Karlskrona — a UNESCO World Heritage site — and soak in the undeniable beauty and charm of the Åland Islands from their capital of Mariehamn. Further west, discover the history and cultures of Greenland and Iceland, or revel in the lush greens of Cork and collegial pubs of Dublin, Ireland. Seven Seas Navigator® also travels to a new port of call in 2023. Leknes, Norway, is a charming small town, but it’s the collection of aligned granite and volcanic rock formations called Lofotveggen (Lofoten Wall) that will astound you with every glance. Overnight stays in Denmark’s Faroe Islands and Stockholm, Sweden, deliver distinct examples of fine art and architecture, and even more remarkable people.
