A World Affairs Voyage from Copenhagen to London

This one-night post-cruise program in London affords the perfect opportunity to discover or rediscover the central monuments memorializing British leadership in defense of democracy in the 20th century—the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abby, and 10 Downing Street. It is also an opportunity to spend time exploring the underground war rooms that served as Winstone Churchill's command center throughout World War II.

Day 1 – Disembark | London

After disembarking the ship, meet your guide for a journey to the Palace of Westminster, an enduring symbol of British governance and history. This Gothic masterpiece—often referred to as the Houses of Parliament—is not only the seat of the UK’s government but also a living monument to centuries of tradition. Home to both the House of Commons and the House of Lords, it is here that the nation’s laws have been debated and shaped for generations. Enjoy a guided tour of this architectural icon, exploring Westminster Hall, the mosaic-adorned Central Lobby, and the historic chambers where Britain’s great parliamentary debates have echoed for centuries. Your excursion continues with a walk through the historic districts of Whitehall and Westminster, pausing at Parliament Square, home to statues of figures such as Winston Churchill, Mahatma Gandhi, and Nelson Mandela. Pass by Westminster Abbey, site of royal coronations and national ceremonies, and catch a glimpse of iconic 10 Downing Street, the Prime Minister’s residence since 1735, where wartime strategies of both World Wars were directed behind its famous black door.

Your walk concludes at the Churchill War Rooms, the underground nerve center from which Churchill and his team directed Britain’s war effort. A private lunch in the Harmsworth Room, a space that retains its original wartime atmosphere, complete with vintage generators and control panels, is followed by a lecture on the legacy of British leadership and its influence on modern conflict response and democratic resilience into the late 20th century. Afterwards, explore the fascinating War Rooms on your own before transferring to your hotel. The balance of the day is at leisure and dinner is independent.

This 3-day pre-cruise program in Denmark's capital is designed to introduce you to New Nordic cuisine—an approach that emphasizes seasonal, sustainable ingredients and deep relationships between food, culture and place. Along the way, you’ll gain insight into how Copenhagen has become a global leader in culinary innovation while also exploring some of its most beloved landmarks, including the iconic Tivoli Gardens. It is the perfect prelude to your voyage from Copenhagen to London.

Day 1 — Copenhagen

Arrive at Copenhagen Airport, where you will be met and transferred to your hotel in the city center. A local representative will be present at our hospitality desk in the afternoon to welcome you and to answer any questions you may have. Relax and unwind at the hotel, or explore some of the sites that are just steps away from the front door. This evening, join fellow travelers for a welcome cocktail reception at the hotel. Dinner is independent.

Day 2 — Copenhagen

After breakfast, meet you guide for an excursion focused on Denmark's pioneering role in sustainable urban agriculture and food culture. Begin with a visit to Øens Have, an urban farm set atop what was once a factory on the industrial island of Refshaleøen. Here, you will be welcomed by chef and food writer Katrine Klinken, a passionate advocate for sustainable, seasonal eating. As you explore the raised beds of vegetables, herbs, and flowers, the compost systems, and the beehives, Katrine will share insights into how projects like Øens Have are shaping the principles of New Nordic Cuisine—celebrating local ingredients, ecological balance, and culinary creativity.

Following the tour, enjoy a fresh, garden-inspired lunch at Øens Have’s open-air café, where the day’s harvest is transformed into simple, refined dishes that are quite literally "farm to table." After lunch, walk to nearby Reffen, Copenhagen’s dynamic street-food district built from repurposed shipping containers. Here you can explore a vibrant mix of food stalls, craft workshops, and waterfront views—the perfect place to get a sense of the innovative spirit of Copenhagen’s modern food culture. Return to the hotel in mid-afternoon, where the balance of the day is at leisure and dinner is independent.

Day 3 — Copenhagen | Embark

Following breakfast at the hotel and check out, meet your guide for a panoramic tour of Copenhagen's major landmarks, including stops at the iconic Nyhavn waterfront, where 500-year-old gabled houses have been turned into trendy cafés; the Old Stock Exchange, once the center of Copenhagen's finance and trade; and the 16th-century Holmens Church, site of the royal wedding of Queen Margrethe, Denmark's longest-reigning monarch.

Continue to Tivoli Gardens, one of the world's oldest amusement parks, and a source of inspiration for Walt Disney. A guided tour introduces you to this fascinating public space—its stunning displays of flowers, and its restaurants, cafés, and concert hall. Tivoli is also famous for two spectacular amusement rides—a wooden roller coaster built in 1914 that is the world's oldest still in operation; and the Star Flyer ride, the world's tallest carousel. After the tour, enjoy an independent lunch in the park, followed by time at leisure to continue exploration of the Gardens on your own. Walk around Tivoli Lake, visit the Tivoli Aquarium, hop on one of the many rides, or simply sit and enjoy the sights.

Later in the afternoon, rejoin your motorcoach to transfer to the pier to embark your ship, stopping along the way to see the statue of the Little Mermaid, erected in 1913 in honor of Hans Christian Andersen and his world-famous fairytales.
