Winter in the Baltics, Helsinki & Stockholm

The hotels typically used are found in the day-to-day itinerary. However, below is a selection of the notable places we stay.



Vilnius: Comfort Hotel LT – Rock’n’Roll Vilnius (nights 1-2)







With an industrial style and music theme, our Vilnius hotel has plenty of personality. The 80 rooms are all air conditioned with underfloor heating in the bathroom, plus the Mellow restaurant serves a menu packed with local produce. Other nice additions are a free-to-use gym and a lobby shop selling beers, snacks, sandwiches and more.



Riga: Islande Hotel (nights 3-4)







Near the Daugava River, the Islande has a magnificent panoramic view of Riga Old Town. It’s located in a green area of Kipsala island, a 12-minute walk from the Old City, and offers a wide range of amenities, including a bowling alley, sauna, gym, two restaurants and a summer terrace.



Helsinki to Stockholm: Overnight ferry (night 8)







On our journey between the Finnish and Swedish capitals, we stay on the Silja Symphony or Silja Serenade (above) ferries. Both offer a comfortable stay on the Baltic Sea, with modern cabins, a variety of restaurants and cafes, plus a spa.



Worth knowing



If you opt for the single supplement, please note that in some hotels, this may mean having a room with a single bed.
