The cruise at a glance
The Olsen Way Highlights
Immerse yourself in centuries of intriguing maritime history, brought to life by impressive landmarks and traditions still in practice today. You will have the chance to visit important monuments such as UNESCO-listed Malbork Castle from Gdańsk and Berlin's Brandenburg Gate from Warnemünde. Klaipėda is ideal for learning about Lithuania's determination to be an independent nation. You can visit a family that has continued a legacy of keeping bees, an important symbol in Lithuanian folklore, at a farm established by their grandfather on his return to the country after Soviet exile. Balmoral is small enough to cruise through the German countryside via the engineering marvel that is the Kiel Canal.
