After breakfast on board, guests who wish may join the optional "Copenhagen & Malmö Tour – 2 Countries in 1 Day" organised by our guide. We begin our tour by exploring Copenhagen, recognised as one of the cities with the highest quality of life in the world. Our first stop is the Little Mermaid statue, inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s famous fairy tale and now a symbol of both the city and Denmark. Our panoramic sightseeing then includes Amalienborg Palace, the official residence of the Danish Royal Family; the magnificent Christiansborg Palace, home to the Danish Parliament; Rosenborg Palace, known for its fairy-tale architecture; and the impressive Gefion Fountain, inspired by Scandinavian mythology. We then head towards the Øresund Bridge, one of the most impressive achievements of modern engineering, connecting Denmark and Sweden. Approximately 8 kilometres long, this enormous structure links the two countries via the artificial island of Peberholm, offering the opportunity to discover two different Scandinavian countries in a single journey. Crossing the bridge, we reach Malmö, Sweden’s third-largest city, which became part of Sweden under the Treaty of Roskilde in 1658 after many years under Danish rule. After exploring this beautiful city, known for its historic squares, elegant streets, colourful architecture and peaceful atmosphere, we return to our ship. Dinner and overnight on board.
