Our Guests Enjoy Scenic Scandinavia

Our guests, Pam Kelley and Melissa Breckenridge, beat the heat on their recent journey aboard Scenic Scandinavia. Browse their pictures for some trip highlights!

"The fabulous Vasa Ship in the Vasa Museum Stockholm. This ship sunk

on its maiden voyage in the 1600s. 300 years later, in the 1950s it was raised from the harbor and was still 98% intact."

"Every city we were in had one of these quaint little streets of small houses with flowers growing everywhere (and of course, a bicycle)."

"Gdańsk, Poland. This Medieval harbor town was heavily destroyed in WW2, however, look at that beautiful architecture!"

Above: "The Indian building at Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen."

Right: "The Walled City of Lubeck Germany."

"Pam Kelley a at the Little Mermaid Statue in Copenhagen Denmark."

Visby, Gotland, Sweden, a World UNESCO Site was Melissa's favorite. Here's what she had to say:

This Medieval walled city dates back over a thousand years. Another very interesting city. They have approximately 96 church ruins and some very old Viking burial sites on the island. They love their roses — they were everywhere and just beautiful. Walked through the botanical garden (which also had a ruin). We were able to go into one of the only remaining churches built around 1200 – loved the gargoyles. Finished off the day at afternoon tea. Lovely!
