SYNOPSIS
Our first foray into the Baltic in many years, FALKEN will head south around the tip of Sweden and past Copenhagen before running north up the Baltic and making a pit-stop at medieval Visby on the historic island of Gotland. Visby is a walled city, right out of a movie set, and a fantastic place to explore on foot. Then it's one final overnight to historic Mariehamn, where one of the last Cape Horn clipper ships greets us in the harbor on arrival!
typical Weather Pattern
Expect daytime high temperatures around 68-77°F (20-25°C) with prevailing southwest winds. However, weather patterns can change rapidly, increasing the chances of rain and morning or evening fog. Wave heights may vary, with calm seas often interrupted by sudden squalls. Late summer provides an exciting yet variable weather experience with a backdrop of the scenic beauty of the Swedish archipelago.
