What's this trip about?

    Explore a selection of the Baltic’s most absorbing cities in the autumn, a time of the year when this incredible part of the world is less crowded but no less rewarding. Spend days in cities with an eclectic mix of attractions - Gothenburg, Copenhagen, Tallinn and Helsinki, with beautiful gardens, attractive waterfronts and historic sites including royal palaces and the castle of Shakespeare’s Hamlet. We then spend two days in St Petersburg. The city created by Peter the Great is a spectacular display of the power of Russia’s Romanov family, and still holds its grandeur today despite losing the title of Russia’s capital in 1918. We then return to Newcastle via Oslo, where art lovers may enjoy art galleries or sculpture parks and history lovers can see a medieval castle or well-preserved Viking ships.

Itinerary

Day 1 Newcastle Titan’s VIP door-to-door travel service collects you from home, for your journey to Newcastle where our staff will greet you and assist with embarking Balmoral (3T+) in readiness for an evening sailing. Day 2 At sea Day 3 Gothenburg, Sweden Known as one of the friendliest cities in Europe, Gothenburg is vibrant and interesting, and although it is Sweden’s second city, it is easy to traverse on foot. There are several galleries, museums, boutiques, street cafés, botanical gardens and nautical attractions along the waterfront including Maritim, the world’s largest floating ship museum. There are also 17th century Dutch-designed canals and even Scandinavia’s largest theme park - Lisberg - to enjoy. Trädgårdsföreningen is one of Europe's best-kept 19th century parks, filled with pretty woodlands and stunning flower beds filled with thousands of rose species. Day 4 Copenhagen Much of Copenhagen’s most interesting sites are either within the city centre or a short walk away. Must-sees include the historic Christiansborg and Amalienborg Palaces, regal Rosenborg Castle and the Hans Christian Anderson inspired Little Mermaid sculpture at Langelinie Pier. Along Nyhavn, Copenhagen’s delightful waterfront and canal, you will find many brightly-coloured 17th and 18th century townhouses that have been converted into bars and restaurants, and many wooden ships in the historic harbour. A short distance from the capital is beautiful Kronborg Castle, known worldwide from Shakespeare’s Hamlet. Day 5 At sea Day 6 Tallinn, Estonia The oldest part of Hanseatic Tallinn can be found on Toompea Hill, where medieval alleyways weave within the substantial remains of the old city wall. Kiek in de kök, a medieval tower, holds a museum on the fortifications and life of this era; and Gamle Toomas, the capital’s iconic weathercock, sits on top of one of the best preserved medieval town halls in northern Europe. The ornate Alexander Nevsky Cathedral was built at the end of the 19th century when Estonia was part of Tsarist Russia. Kadriorg Castle was built by an earlier Tsar, Peter the Great, and now houses part of the Estonian Museum of Art. Day 7 Helsinki, Finland Helsinki is a capital with over 100 kilometres of coastline, the amalgamation of the large network of pretty islands that hold the city’s neoclassical architecture, galleries, museums, parks, forests and UNESCO-listed fortress. One of the city’s most photographed areas is Senate Square, dominated by four magnificent buildings created by renowned architect Carl Ludvig Engel - Helsinki Cathedral, the Government Palace, the main building of the University of Helsinki and the National Library of Finland. Days 8-9 St Petersburg (overnight) Enjoy two days in the beautiful imperial city of St Petersburg, built across 40 islands at the mouth of the River Neva. The Baroque Winter Palace, with over a thousand rooms, sits elegantly along the Neva embankment. Once a royal residence and centre of Russian politics, it is now one of six buildings that make up the Hermitage Museum; and this museum, where 2,000 rooms are filled with 3.5 million artefacts from priceless art to Egyptian mummies, is only one of 125 museums and galleries within the city. And then, of course, there is the dazzling, five-domed Church on the Spilled Blood. The interior is every bit as magnificent as its eye-catching exterior, with some 7,500 square metres of colourful mosaics. The shrine constructed on the spot where Alexander II was murdered is particularly extravagant. Staying in port overnight also offers the opportunity, programme depending, to enjoy an evening of world-class ballet or opera in a beautiful theatre. Days 10-11 At sea Day 12 Oslo, Norway Norway's lively capital is a small and eminently walkable city with many attractions to discover. Fans of Edvard Munch may be torn between visiting the National Gallery, home to his iconic painting ‘The Scream’, or the Munchmuseet which contains over 5,000 of his works. Vigelandsparken Sculpture Park is the world’s largest by a single artist - Gustav Vigeland - or, elsewhere, the fabulous Viking Ship Museum has three ships recovered from royal burial mounds in the Oslofjord, as well as artefacts from the Viking era. The medieval Akershus castle and fortress dominating the harbour front and are also well worth visiting. Day 13 At sea Relax as we spend the last day sailing home. Day 14 Newcastle Early morning arrival in Newcastle where you will be met and guided to your Titan vehicle, for the journey home.

Introducing Titan Travel

Titan will never compromise on quality. We continue to make every effort to ensure that, when you travel with us, you enjoy the holiday of a lifetime, every time. Every individual aspect of your holiday has been carefully considered to deliver the best ratio of quality and value, provide complete peace of mind and yet still satisfy the most adventurous travel spirit. The expert planning, choice of hotels and transportation methods, included excursions and the services of an expert Titan tour manager can really enhance your appreciation of a destination and transform an ordinary holiday into a truly inspiring one.

Many escorted holidays sold by British tour operators originate in the destination and are aimed at the international market, with multilingual commentaries, sweepingly general itineraries and local contracted hotels and tour managers. Titan holidays are different. They are expertly crafted in-house and are only on sale in the UK; our well-travelled product specialists know their destinations inside out and select the best hotels, airlines, trains and cruise vessels. Properly balanced itineraries, most unique to us, are designed to include excursions and visits of particular interest to British travelers as well as a number of free days when there is always a choice of relaxation or enjoyable things to do. And, in the majority of cases, Titan holidays are escorted by the best tour managers in the business.

Exceptional Value

Quality often comes with a price tag and, indeed, Titan has never striven to be the cheapest tour operator. What you get with us though is unparalleled value for money, with a host of inclusions as standard and a range of exclusive offers and discounts.

Traveling in style
With Titan, not only does your holiday begin and end at your front door, it also includes scheduled international flights with world-renowned airlines and the most memorable form of touring transport. Where this is a coach, we look to provide the best available, with air-conditioning, w/c and daily seat rotation in the interests of fairness. But escorted tours are not simply limited to coaches. Titan is one of the UK’s leading rail specialists and a number of our holidays incorporate journeys on iconic trains, that seem to transport you not only through some of the most dramatic and beautiful landscapes in the world, but also back in time to a nostalgic ‘golden age’ of luxurious and stylish travel.

If you are undecided between the elegance and relaxation of a cruise and the enthralling insight of an escorted tour, Titan’s Cruise & Tour® holidays could be a perfect choice. You can cruise with some of the most respected names in the industry, including Fred.Olsen and Holland America, around regions of awe-inspiring beauty and head ashore for an extra land-based touring element. Alternatively, the waterways of Europe, Egypt and China link the most spectacular cultural gems in picturesque fashion and a river cruise is an outstanding way to appreciate wonderful destinations from a different and more relaxed perspective. Our river cruise partners include Uniworld, multi award-winning operator of 5★ boutique river cruises.

Included Excursions
We don’t believe that our holidaymakers should pay extra for optional excursions to experience what are obviously the most important attractions of a country or region. You get much better value if they are included from the start. Unless otherwise stated, every visit mentioned in the tour itinerary is included in the cost of your holiday.

Quality named hotels and lodges
Hotels on Titan holidays are much more than simply a place to sleep at the end of the day. They may place you at the heart of a thrilling city or in a retreat of sublime tranquillity; reflect the character and heritage of a destination or play an integral part in its social scene; present inspiring views or a range of exhilarating experiences. Location and quality are key considerations. At Titan, we always seek to provide the best of both choosing a lower priced holiday based on lower quality, more remote hotels can often be a false economy in the time and money you end up wasting during your stay.

Low or No Single Supplements

We are always looking at ways of minimizing or eliminating our single supplements. A number of tours featured on this website have low or no single supplements to pay.

The UK's best holiday price promise

It has always been a Titan principle that the earlier you book, the lower the price you pay. Our holiday price promise provides complete peace of mind – if we subsequently reduce the price to below what you have already paid (after any discounts have been applied), we will contact you to refund the difference†!

This guarantee applies to tour prices only (excluding all Traveller, by Titan holidays and any selected loyalty rewards we may offer to past travelers from time to time) and does not include airline upgrades, holiday additions, extended stays or regional connecting flights and selected special offer products.
