We are excited to invite you on a unique travel adventure that promises to deepen your understanding of the critical issues shaping our world. This special cruise aboard Le Lapérouse features a distinguished lineup of speakers actively engaged in global affairs. Notable guests include American foreign affairs analyst and journalist Robin Wright, alongside Career Ambassador Beth Jones, who will lead discussions on the current landscape of international relations. 

Additionally, we are privileged to host a presentation by Lech Wałęsa, the former President of Poland and Nobel Peace Prize laureate. He will share invaluable insights into Poland’s historical journey and the ongoing evolution of democracy. 

The itinerary for this tour is truly exceptional as we sail through the Baltic Sea, where history, culture, and natural beauty converge. Our journey begins in Stockholm, Sweden’s enchanting capital, where medieval charm meets modern innovation. As we traverse the Baltic Sea, each destination offers unique and unforgettable experiences: Helsinki’s stunning blend of neoclassical and contemporary design, Tallinn’s beautifully preserved medieval old town, and Visby on Gotland Island, a UNESCO World Heritage Site rich in Hanseatic history. 

Our adventure continues with Denmark’s unique allure, from Bornholm’s medieval hamlet of Gudhjem to Copenhagen’s vibrant canals and royal palaces. We then conclude our exploration in Sweden’s cultural hub, Gothenburg, with its charming canals and eclectic galleries, and in the picturesque streets of Fredrikstad, Norway. 

As you immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of the Baltic region, you’ll not only discover breathtaking landscapes and historical treasures, but you’ll also forge connections with fellow travelers who share your innate curiosity and enthusiasm. Please join us for this unparalleled voyage, a captivating blend of education, culture, beauty, and adventure.
