What could be more enjoyable

than sightseeing, and swinging

your clubs, in some of Europe’s

most beautiful ports? Golfers

with non-playing partners can

enjoy their games, knowing those

partners are having an equally

fine time checking out the sights,

or relaxing onboard. Even with a

golf option, there is still plenty of

time to enjoy the various ports

with long shore days. As a single

or a couple you will have a fine time on this fabulous cruise itinerary. For singles, please inquire on

applicable single supplement rates. At times, Crystal single supplements can be as low as 27% above

the share twin pp room rate.

a share twin basis. This package includes 4 nights in hotels, breakfast, hotel to ship and ship to hotel

transfers, welcome drinks and our farewell dinner with drinks. The golf is priced from Euro 225

pp/round and includes shared motorised cart, green fees, coach transfers, prize money and

Itinerary

Day 1– Friday 25 June 2021 – Copenhagen

Arrive independently in Copenhagen and

transfer by own arrangements to our well

located Copenhagen hotel, First Hotel

Mayfair. Copenhagen is an attractive port

city, the capital of Denmark and the centre

of most government and commercial

activity.

Meet this evening for tour hosted welcome

drinks.

Inclusions: Evening welcome drinks and accommodation

Day 2 – Saturday 26 June 2021 – Copenhagen – Golf

Today we travel north over the spectacular Oresund Bridge linking Denmark with Malmo, Sweden’s

3rd largest city. The bridge was opened in 2000 and is 16 km in length and includes a 4 km tunnel.

Apart from enjoying this fascinating 45 minute driving experience we will play the Links Course at

PGA National Sweden.

For those not golfing, there is an opportunity to independently explore Copenhagen – noting

daylight hours are 4.30 am to 10.00 pm.

Golf – Links Course at PGA National Sweden - the 7th ranked golf course in Sweden. Designed by

Kyle Phillips, one of the world’s leading golf architects, and opened in 2009. The course is designed

in a style reminiscent of some of the famous Scottish links courses (Kyle Phillips has previously

designed both Kingsbarns and Dundonald Links).

Inclusions: accommodation, breakfast and golf

Day 3 – Sunday 27 June 2021 – Board Crystal Serenity – Overnight in Copenhagen

Many may choose a relaxing morning in Copenhagen prior to boarding Crystal Serenity in the early

afternoon. However, for the golf enthusiasts, there is a chance to golf this morning at The New

Course at The Scandanavian Golf Club with a transfer following golf direct to Crystal Serenity. For

non-golfers today, you should make your own way independently to the Copenhagen Cruise

terminal to board at your convenience or transfer with the golf group to the cruise terminal.

Crystal Serenity berths overnight in Copenhagen.

Page 4: Copenhagen to Stockholm Baltic Sea Golf Cruise 25 June to ... · Trendsetter Travel golf excursions or on a Crystal shore excursion, you will need a Russian Visa to independently

Golf: The New Course at The Scandanavian Golf Club is Denmark’s #1 ranked course and in the top

30 European courses. Built by Robert Trent Jones Jr in 2010, it is less than 30 minutes drive from our

hotel. Following golf and refreshments in the magnificent clubrooms, we will be transfer to Crystal

Serenity via our hotel to collect our luggage (and pick up any non-golfers in our tour party). There is

a Euro 50 pp green fee surcharge at The New Course.

Day 4 – Monday 28 June 2021 – Copenhagen – depart 6 pm

Today is free to independently explore

Copenhagen, perhaps participating on one

of the many ship’s tours. We depart

Copenhagen in the early evening offering

spectacular views of the waterways

surrounding Denmark, Southern Sweden

and the many islands that pepper the Baltic

Sea.

Day 5 – Tuesday 29 June 2021 – Warnemunde – Germany – in port from 7 am to 9 pm -

Golf

Today we berth in Warnemunde, the port for Berlin. While the drive to Berlin takes 3 hours, a visit

to Berlin is still an attractive option particularly for those who have never visited Berlin. Berlin is one

of the most interesting cities in Europe with a famous history and many fascinating sights,

particularly since the fall of the Berlin Wall and subsequent reunification of East and West Germany.

Golf: Play today is on the Eikhof Championship Course at Ostee Golf Resort at Wittenbeck, a 35

minute drive out of Warnemunde. Following our return from golf, there is still plenty of time to visit

the port and the nearby port city of Rostov as we don’t depart until 9.00 pm.

Day 6 – Wednesday 30 June 2021 – Gdynia – Poland – in port 1 pm to 7 pm

We berth this afternoon in the Polish port city of Gdynia. Gdynia grabbed the world’s attention in

September 1939 as it was the main Polish city in the Polish Corridor, the narrow strip of land which

separated Germany from East Prussia. It was quickly invaded at the start of the World War II.

Day 7 – Thursday 1 July 2021 – Sea Day

Day 8 – Friday 2 July 2021 – Helsinki – Finland – in port 8 am to 6 pm - Golf

Helsinki is a fascinating city to explore either independently or on a ship’s tour. The city and its

shopping precinct is but a short walk from where Crystal Serenity will berth. There are two military

history museums worth visiting to experience Finland’s turbulent past including its famous Winter

War with Russia in late 1939/early 1940 when Finland put up a heroic defence following its

unprovoked attack by Russia.

Golf: Today we have a scenic drive north of Helsinki to play the # 1 course in Finland, Kytaja Golf

Club - South East Course, for a shotgun start. Kytaja has a Euro 25 pp green fee surcharge.

Day 9 – Saturday 3 July 2021 – St Petersburg – in port from 7 am – Golf

Crystal Serenity spends 3 full days berthed in St Petersburg allowing plenty of opportunity to visit the

sites of this city and the opportunity to play one or both of St Petersburg’s recently constructed 18

hole championship golf courses.

St Petersburg is one of Europe’s most

famous cities, once home to the Russian

Czar. There are many famous palaces,

none more impressive than the Hermitage,

and now one of the world’s leading art

galleries. Unless you are on one of the

Trendsetter Travel golf excursions or on a

Crystal shore excursion, you will need a

Petersburg.

(although a Visa is required). However,

Trendsetter has organised its own full day

tour of St Petersburg including visits to the

Hermitage), lunch and a visit to Peterhof

Palace. Trendsetter’s tour will have a cost

of circa Euro 200 pp and is priced at a

significant discount to comparative tours

offered by Crystal.

Day 12 – Tuesday 6 July 2021 – Tallinn – Estonia – in port 8 am to 6 pm - Golf

For many, Estonia is a new country to visit. Within walking distance of the cruise terminal, is the

historic city of Tallinn, the capital of Estonia. This medieval town centre is a must to visit for those

not golfing.

Golf: Today we take a 40 minute scenic drive from the port through the Estonian countryside to play

Niitvalja Golf Club, one of Estonia’s expanding number of golf clubs. It has been voted the # 1

course in Estonia for the past 3 years.

Day 13 – Wednesday 7 July 2021 – Stockholm in port 8.00 am (Overnight) - Golf

Stockholm is the capital of Sweden and one of the loveliest cities in Europe. It features a beautiful

harbour dotted with many islands.

Golf – Bro Hoff Slott is just over a 30 minute drive and its Stadium Course is the number # 1 ranked

course in Sweden (and in the top 20 ranked European courses). Opened in 2007, it was designed by

Robert Trent Jones Jr and is centred around the renovated Bro Hoff Castle. A Euro 75 pp surcharge

applies.

Day 14 – Thursday 8 July 2021 – disembark from 8 am - Stockholm

For those taking the Stockholm extension, you will be transferred by coach to At Six Hotel, your

centrally located Stockholm hotel. You have a free day to explore the wonderful city of Stockholm

with no golf option offered. This may include walking down to the historic Gamla Stan section of the

city or visiting the interesting ABBA museum. Alternatively, just walking around the city is a great

experience with the many outdoor cafes to enjoy a coffee, beer or wine. You are visiting Stockholm

at the best time and can expect day time temperatures in the mid 20 degree range with daylight

hours extending until after 10 pm.
