QUICK HIGHLIGHTS OF YOUR JOURNEY

· Dive into stories of medieval times and the Renaissance, all the way up to World War II and the Cold War.
· Experience some of the longest days of the year where, this far north, the light will linger endlessly as you finish your last glass on deck.
· Experience what some say is the most beautiful arrival by ship in any port—the long passage through the Stockholm Archipelago to your final destination.
· Share this special experience with fellow Chateau Montelena travelers and new friends you meet onboard.
· Enjoy the amazing range of cuisines—widely acknowledged as among the best on the seas—in Oceania Vista’s restaurants.
· Special Chateau Montelena wine experiences at signature moments throughout the journey
Why This Journey is Special
A Look at Europe Through Time from a Northern Point of View—and a Luxurious Berth
The Baltic countries pack an enormous amount of European history into a relatively compact region. Criss-crossing from coast to coast, you encounter Scandinavian royal capitals, medieval towns, Art Nouveau neighborhoods, Modern Nordic design, and even Cold War history. And with expert guides in less-traveled ports spinning the local lore, you experience each destination beyond any guidebook description.
This multifaceted cultural journey is all the more special, as you return to the luxury of Oceania’s new Vista each afternoon. Elegant lounges and public spaces are the backdrop for sharing stories of the day. Dinner is a choice among Italian, pan-Asian, steak house, Jacques Pépin–designed cuisine, and more. And local musicians entertain in the evening.
Along the way, Montelena guests will have special opportunities to experience Chateau Montelena wines through hosted tastings and gatherings that bring the winery’s history, stories and Napa Valley heritage to life.
