Scandinavia and Russia

12-day rail and boat journey from Hamburg to Moscow via Scandinavia

Railbookers runs this 12-day, 11-night independent rail package across Scandinavia and into Russia, described in the evidence as a journey by scenic train and boat. It begins with an overnight stay in the cosmopolitan city of Hamburg, then a train ride through the rural beauty of Denmark, including a crossing on one of the last remaining train ferries, to Copenhagen for two days. From there, the trip continues north to Stockholm for two more days. The evidence available to us does not detail what happens over the remaining days in Helsinki, St Petersburg, and Moscow, the last three stops on the route. Because this is an independent package rather than an escorted tour, travelers plan their own sightseeing at each stop. It suits independent travelers who want a long, multi-country rail and boat journey linking Scandinavia's capitals with Russia, at a starting price of 2,949 US dollars per person.

What to know before you look closer

  • The description in the evidence is cut off after Stockholm, so what happens in Helsinki, St Petersburg, and Moscow, and how the 11 nights split across all six stops, is not detailed. Confirm the full itinerary with Railbookers before booking.
  • This is described as a trip by 'scenic train and boat,' including a train ferry crossing between Denmark and Copenhagen, so not every leg of this 12-day trip is by train.
  • The evidence lists no current departure dates for this package; confirm availability directly with Railbookers.
