Spend a few days being spoilt with a stay in the gorgeous design hotel Nordic Sea or Nordic Light, in central Stockholm, a cruise through the scenic and outstandingly beautiful archipelago between Sweden and Finland and a few days of pampering in the very comfortable Naantali Spa Hotel, it's a holiday made of dreams!!
Take flight to Stockholm and check in at Hotel Gamla Stan for 2 nights. Time to explore this beautiful city on a sightseeing tour by bus or boat or even by foot. The 'Gamla Stan' (old town) is a must as is a visit to the 'Ice bar' in the evening, the whole bar was built of ice shipped from Lapland.
Spend the day exploring Stockholm, the city centre is quite small so no problems with just strolling about seeing the sights, do some shopping or enjoy a cup of coffee in one of the small cafe's in the 'Old Town'.
Another day to spend in Stockholm, perhaps visit the 'Vasa Museum' and the island of 'Djurgarden' Here the open air museum 'Skansen' is located as well as the 'well worth a visit,' famous with the locals' - the Rosendal Gardens -where the coffee and cakes are worth the extra 10 minute walk!! Late afternoon self transfer to Vartahamnen and board M/S Silja Festival. Check in to your 'Seaside' cabin. You will travel through the stunning Stockholm archipelago before arriving to Turku harbour on Finland's west coast the following morning. On board you can enjoy the facilities, relax and enjoy the stunning scenery as you travel along. There are several restaurants and bars on board so no need to go hungry or thirsty!
Arrive to Turku early in the following morning and self transfer to Naantali Spa Hotel for 3 nights. The hotel offers a wide range of treatments, has a pool and spa area as well as a stunning location by the beach. The days can be spent taking walks on the beach, exploring the small town of Naantali and of course a treatment or four! Included in the price is a Relaxing Indian massage. This is a relaxing massage designed to help relaxation, health and well being.
After breakfast transfer by taxi to Turku airport for your flight back home.
