Copenhagen to Amsterdam

July 29 to August 8, 2010

Sail into Amsterdam Gay Pride in 2010 on our first cruise to sail to Europe’s most gay-friendly city. We’ve chartered the stunning Eurodam for an unforgettable sailing from Copenhagen to the best of Northern Europe. Stunningly beautiful cities, welcoming gay-friendly cultures, and magical nights define Atlantis’ most popular summer cruise. The best of the Baltic, combined with an exciting overnight in Amsterdam to create our hottest cruise of the summer.

Atlantis brings our most popular European cruise to a whole new level next summer as we sail into Amsterdam for an overnight during their famous gay pride celebration. Whether you’ve been on several cruises or are sailing for your first time, there are few more exciting places in the world to explore by ship than the Baltic Sea. Our all-new custom itinerary offers you the best of it all, including two full days in awe-inspiring St. Petersburg.

Breathtakingly and Friendly

Gay-friendly and charming Copenhagen welcomes us with open arms to the waterways, parks, and castles that have made this city famous. From there we sail to the charming city of Tallin, Estonia, a near perfect Medieval town with a fast-growing modern lifestyle.

Two full days (with an overnight) in magical St Petersburg, Russia provide ample time to explore the city’s vast cultural collection of museums, palaces, architecture, parks, and theaters. Our expert guides and outstanding tours offer a variety of options for exploring the city both day and night.

You’ll find Finnish hospitality, a rugged sense of style, and unexpected adventures in the capital city of Helsinki. Explore cosmopolitan Stockholm, the seductive cultural and business hub of Sweden. After two relaxing days at sea we’ll finally sail directly into Amsterdam just hours before their world-famous gay pride parade through the canals of this unique city. Our overnight stay allows you plenty of time to revel in the parties, nightlife, and unparalleled atmosphere of the world’s most gay-friendly city.
