Spend a week sleeping on a three-masted sailing ship and cycling the coastlines and islands of The Sound (Øresund in Danish), the strait which separates Denmark and Sweden. Two distinct nations bound by a rich history, you’ll discover defiant castles, ancient towers, and medieval citadels as well as pretty villages and quiet countryside.
Visit fishing villages with colourful huts, 70-million-year-old white cliffs, a 13th century church, Denmark’s second-largest lake, and Hamlet’s castle.
While on your tall ship, you have the option of helping hoist the sails and even navigating. Alternatively, you can just relax and enjoy the spectacular views.
