Essentials

4½ countries, 5 cities, and 35,000 islands
Plus planes, trains and more boats!

Having done a series of short trips and weekend breaks in 1998, we've decided to go for a "big" holiday this year. We'll be spending 20 days this summer travelling by train and ferry around the Baltic Sea and the Gulf of Finland (see map below).

Outline Itinerary
Fly London to St Petersburg
4 nights in St Petersburg
Sleeper to Tallinn
4 nights in Tallinn
Ferry across Gulf of Finland to Helsinki
3 nights in Helsinki
Train to Turku/Åbo
2 nights in Turku/Åbo
Ferry to Mariehamn in the Åland Islands
2 nights in Mariehamn
Ferry to Stockholm
3 nights in Stockholm
Fly back to London

We have put together the itinerary ourselves, by stitching together package deals and making our own arrangements, largely over the Internet. It took about a month to research, make enquiries, and book accomodation and the key travel sections, but everything is now confirmed, and we have all the tickets and vouchers too!

There are more details of travel arrangements and accommodation on the Itinerary page, and we have now got full details of all the hotels (including pictures of what they are supposed to look like) on a separate Hotels page.
