Our guide will be university professor, Jacek Podhorski-Piotrowski


In The center of Gdansk we shall see The King's Road, (Dluga Street and Dlugi Rynek), Green Gate, Long Market, Golden House, Neptune Statue, Arthur's Court, Main City Hall, Long Street, Golden Gate, the Great Armory and St. Mary's Church.

We will have a brief organ recital in Gdansk-Oliwa Cathedral and then proceed to the wholesale center where you can purchase, (wholesale), the world famous Polish “Bison” Vodka.   Each bottle of Poland’s finest, (smooth), vodka contains a blade of bison grass.

Gdansk is the amber capital of the world.   Since 80% of the world's amber production comes from Gdansk, we will have the opportunity to view amber being polished in a local amber gallery.

For those wishing to spend two extra days in London prior to our sailing, we have an outstanding, (very reasonable), centrally located London hotel in the heart of London, “NH Harrington Hall” at 5-25 Harrington Gardens, South Kensington.   It’s an authentic, (non-chain), moderately-priced, 200-room, classic London-style hotel in the exclusive Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea.

Our hotel package will include a transfer from London’s Heathrow Airport…(for those flying over with the group) ~ two nights lodging ~ two full, hot, (English-style) breakfasts ~ a five-hour transfer with baggage to our ship in Dover via Canterbury where we will have two hours to visit the great Canterbury Cathedral and the charming town of Canterbury. We will leave London promptly at noon and should be to the ship by 5:00PM on August 13, 2008.

Our two-day hotel package should cost approximately $365 per person. Just for comparative purposes… Oceania’s coach transfer from LHR airport to Dover is $114, and their similar hotel package at the Intercontinental Hotel is $999 per person.
