Call 1 888 356 2021 Email [email protected] www.inspiringvacations.com TOUR ITINERARY DAY 1 Destination Dover Meals included Dinner Cruise MS Maud, Polar Outside Cabin, or similar All aboard at Dover! MS Maud is here, ready and waiting to take you on a summertime exploration of southern Scandinavia. If you have time, take a walk alongside or atop the iconic white cliffs of Dover that have become a patriotic symbol for England. One of the best places to do so is at St Margaret’s Bay, which offers great views of the chalky coastline from its wide shingle beach. Once on board the ship, you’ll pick up your complimentary expedition jacket, settle into your cabin, explore the ship and attend a mandatory safety drill. After the first of many delicious dinners and a welcome toast by the Captain, you’ll meet your expert Expedition Team. They are your knowledgeable lecturers, warm hosts, and good-natured guides throughout your journey, but first and foremost, they are there to keep you safe and well. They’ll be making it a priority to run through important health and safety aspects with you and your fellow guests. When the ship sets sail, we’ll pass the white cliffs of Dover and head up to the North Sea. Stretch your sea legs and get to know MS Maud, your cosy home away from home. If the weather holds, take in the salubrious sea air from out on deck. Or park yourself in the Explorer Lounge and Bar to watch the world go by from the panoramic windows, maybe together with a relaxing glass of wine. Your adventure to the German coast and southern Scandinavia is officially underway! DAY 2 Destination At Sea Meals included Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner Cruise MS Maud, Polar Outside Cabin, or similar Enjoy a day at sea as we head towards the German coast. You’ll have plenty of time to decompress from daily life, relax and really get into the mood for this summertime expedition cruise. Perhaps brush up on Scandinavian life philosophies like Danish hygge “creating a warm atmosphere and enjoying the good things in life with good people”; Swedish lagom “not too little, not too much – just right”; and Norwegian friluftsliv “embracing nature and an active, outdoors lifestyle”. Admire the views from MS Maud’s expansive Observation Deck, settle into a good book together with a freshly baked pastry from the Fredheim restaurant, or take full advantage of the gym and hot tubs.You’ll also be invited to talks hosted by the Expedition Team who will happily share their extensive knowledge of southern Scandinavia with you. Topics change each day and will be relevant to the area you’re sailing in. These added insights will enhance your experience, filling out your sense of discovery with delicious detail. Our professional onboard photographer will also be available to give top tips and tricks for the best landscape and wildlife photos.

Call 1 888 356 2021 Email [email protected] www.inspiringvacations.com P1 TOUR ITINERARY DAY 3 Destination List, Sylt, Germany Meals included Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner Cruise MS Maud, Polar Outside Cabin, or similar Your first port of call is known as the ‘Martha’s Vineyard’ of Germany, a picture-perfect seaside bolthole that attracts a glamorous crowd seeking sanctuary and solitude. Welcome to Sylt, the most famous of the North Frisian Islands and Germany’s northernmost point. Here, against the sounds of lapping waves, you’ll find 25 miles of pristine, fine sand beaches lined with sand dunes and flowering heathlands. We anchor at List, which sits at the northern tip of Sylt, and oozes wild rustic charm. Take in the invigorating sea air as you leisurely explore the town and its beautiful beaches on foot. You’ll be won over by its pretty harbour, thatched cottages, and candy-striped lighthouses. Hire a bike if you’re feeling active or rent one of the distinctive Strandkorb beach chairs if you’d rather relax. Sample the island’s culinary speciality – Sylter Royal oysters – which are farmed locally at Germany’s only commercial oyster farm. Or you can enjoy lunch at one of the many seafood restaurants along the promenade. Local specialities include mussels, North Sea prawns, and matjes, pickled herring. If you’re science-minded, you’ll enjoy a visit to the local ecological museum, powered by renewable energy, and dedicated to the North Sea. See fascinating displays and multimedia exhibits on the local climate, weather and natural phenomena, such as Germany’s largest shifting sand dune. You can see this sand dune for yourself along the more sheltered East coast of the island. At low tide, you can take a walk along the mud flats that lie out towards the UNESCO-listed Wadden Sea. With its crashing waves and strong winds, the West coast is a popular destination for windsurfers. To the north of List is Ellenbogen nature reserve. This exposed, windswept, elbow-shaped peninsula is stunning: miles of unspoilt coastal landscapes, tranquillity and natural charm. DAY 4 Destination Kiel Canal and Kiel, Germany Meals included Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner Cruise MS Maud, Polar Outside Cabin, or similar You might be surprised to discover that the accolade of the world’s busiest man-made waterway does not belong to the Panama Canal or the Suez Canal, but to the Kiel Canal, also known as the Nord-Ostsee-Kanal. Today, we transit the picturesque 61-mile passage from Brunsbüttel in the North Sea through Schleswig-Holstein to Holtenau in the Baltic Sea. The canal allows ships to bypass Denmark’s stormy Jutland Peninsula and takes around 226 miles off the journey. Built in 1887, inaugurated in 1895 and widened in 1907, this freshwater canal, originally called Kaiser Wilhelm I Canal, took 9,000 workers eight years to build. Today, it is 160 metres wide and 11 metres deep, and is crossed by seven high bridges that allow a 43-metre clearance. You’ll go under the Rendsburg High Bridge, a railway viaduct with an unusual 360° loop that allows trains to access Rendsburg Station. Relax and enjoy a scenic passage through the canal. Head out on deck as you pass lush countryside, quaint villages and magnificent landscapes en route. You’ll see daily life along the canal; grazing cattle, anglers patiently fishing, dog walkers and cyclists along the canal path, and of course, many ships and recreational boats. You can watch from deck as we traverse the impressive locks or schleusen at Holtenau, before sailing the final ten The information provided in this document is subject to change and may be affected by unforeseen events outside the control of Inspiring Vacations.

Call 1 888 356 2021 Email [email protected] www.inspiringvacations.com P2 TOUR ITINERARY miles along the Kiel Fjord to Kiel. We’ll have a short technical stop in Kiel, allowing you enough time to stretch your legs and visit the maritime city. If you’re sailing in the last week of June, you’ll catch Kiel Week, the world’s largest sailing regatta with 4,000 ships usually in attendance. DAY 5 Destination Skagen, Denmark Meals included Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner Cruise MS Maud, Polar Outside Cabin, or similar When you see the distinctive yellow houses with red roofs, you’ve arrived in Skagen, one of Denmark’s most popular destinations. This vibrant beach town is located at the top of Jutland, where the Baltic Sea meets the North Sea. During the summer months, the captivating light, wonderful nature and beautiful white sandy beaches are a big draw. Discover the lively town centre with its bustling marina, museums, galleries and boutiques, or head out of town along the walking trails to explore wild nature and beautiful coastal scenery. If you prefer, relax at the beach and go for a refreshing swim in the sea. You can visit Skagen Museum to see the works of the Skagen Painters including Krøyer, Ancher and Tuxen. In 1859, inspired by the nature, Hans Christian Andersen encouraged artists to join him in Skagen. As word spread, painters, musicians, writers and poets descended on the town. This artists’ collective, known as Skagen Painters, became hugely influential in Danish cultural history. Three miles north of Skagen is Grenen. Here, you’ll experience the rugged environment of Denmark’s northernmost point, where the Skagerrak and the Kattegat Seas meet. If you look closely, you can see the waves of the two seas clash. Wander among sand dunes on foot or take the Sandormen, a tractor-driven wagon tour. The area is also popular with birders. You might want to visit the Sand-Covered Church. What appears to be a small 14th century chapel turns out to be the tower of Sankt Laurentii, once the largest church in northern Jutland. Sand migration buried the church, leaving only the tower visible. Further south is Råberg Mile, the closest thing Denmark has to a desert.

  • 2017-08-19 Copenhagen Liberty
    Copenhagen Liberty Sunday, August 20 We had a couple hours between flights and went to Huxley's for an English Breakfast. We both had opened the box breakfast British Airways offered about an hour and a half before landing... and we closed the boxes back up. Then we cleared the checkpoint for through passengers and had time to catch up before our connecting flight to Copenhagen. Liz had salmon eggs Benedict and I had eggs, English bacon and a banger, grilled tomato, and baked beans. The banger was less than tasty and my stomach began acting up, either from the curried chicken the night before or the banger this morning. I was uncomfortably cramped. We walked through the terminal to catch the transfer train to our gate. They had a standing, woman shaped screen which almost seemed like a hologram and, depending which language had been selected, spoke to passersby to tell them how to use the train. It was quite clever and very realistic. We followed her guidance and made our way to Gate 62 in A Terminal. The two hour flight passed quickly and we were immediately met at luggage claim by our guide to the hotel. There were six people in our ride but later that day we would be joined by another 19 people on the On Line Vacation extension. When we arrived at the Trivoli Hotel and Convention Center we were 121 surprised to see Olivier, our London hotel guide from last year. He would coordinate our booking and then go on to Stockholm later in the week.

  • (Sdf) for National Inventories of Natural Sites of Conservation Interest
    UNITED NATIONS ENVIRONMENT PROGRAMME MEDITERRANEAN ACTION PLAN REGIONAL ACTIVITY CENTRE FOR SPECIALLY PROTECTED AREAS (RAC/SPA) STANDARD DATA-ENTRY FORM (SDF) FOR NATIONAL INVENTORIES OF NATURAL SITES OF CONSERVATION INTEREST UNEP RAC/SPA-TUNIS, 2002 page 1 INTRODUCTION The Protocol concerning Specially Protected Areas and Biological Diversity in the Mediterranean and the Action plan for the Protection of the Marine Environment and the Sustainable Development of the Coastal Areas of the Mediterranean (MAP Phase II), adopted by the Contracting Parties to the Barcelona Convention in 1995, contain provisions for the preparation of inventories at national as well as regional level. Central to the success of Barcelona Convention and its protocols is the level of information on habitats and species of Mediterranean interest which will be assembled during the coming years. In this regard, the quantitative and qualitative improvement of the level of information attained within the implementation of these instruments will have to be regarded as an indicator of their performance. In this context, and following a specific provision of MAP Phase II to prepare inventories according to common criteria, the Contracting Parties adopted at their 10th Ordinary Meeting (Tunis, 18-21 November 1997) criteria for the establishment of national inventories of natural sites of conservation interest. The criteria provide that "Information concerning each inventoried site will be compiled according to a standard format, which will have to be agreed by the Parties upon a proposal from the Centre. Such information will include, but will not necessarily be limited to, the fields detailed in Appendix I to these criteria." (Art.

  • Chesil Beach and the Fleet SPA and SAC Consists of a Long Linear Shingle Beach Enclosing a Brackish Lagoon on the South Coast of England in Dorset
    Improvement Programme for England's Natura 2000 Sites (IPENS) Planning for the Future Site Improvement Plan Chesil Beach & The Fleet Site Improvement Plans (SIPs) have been developed for each Natura 2000 site in England as part of the Improvement Programme for England's Natura 2000 sites (IPENS). Natura 2000 sites is the combined term for sites designated as Special Areas of Conservation (SAC) and Special Protected Areas (SPA). This work has been financially supported by LIFE, a financial instrument of the European Community. The plan provides a high level overview of the issues (both current and predicted) affecting the condition of the Natura 2000 features on the site(s) and outlines the priority measures required to improve the condition of the features. It does not cover issues where remedial actions are already in place or ongoing management activities which are required for maintenance. The SIP consists of three parts: a Summary table, which sets out the priority Issues and Measures; a detailed Actions table, which sets out who needs to do what, when and how much it is estimated to cost; and a set of tables containing contextual information and links. Once this current programme ends, it is anticipated that Natural England and others, working with landowners and managers, will all play a role in delivering the priority measures to improve the condition of the features on these sites. The SIPs are based on Natural England's current evidence and knowledge. The SIPs are not legal documents, they are live documents that will be updated to reflect changes in our evidence/knowledge and as actions get underway.

  • Storms and Coastal Defences at Chiswell This Booklet Provides Information About
    storms and coastal defences at chiswell this booklet provides information about: • How Chesil Beach and the Fleet Lagoon formed and how it has What is this changed over the last 100 years • Why coastal defences were built at Chiswell and how they work • The causes and impacts of the worst storms in a generation booklet that occurred over the winter 2013 / 14 • What will happen in the future Chesil Beach has considerable scientific about? significance and has been widely studied. The sheer size of the beach and the varying size and shape of the beach material are just some of the reasons why this beach is of worldwide interest and importance. Chesil Beach is an 18 mile long shingle bank that stretches north-west from Portland to West Bay. It is mostly made up of chert and flint pebbles that vary in size along the beach with the larger, smoother pebbles towards the Portland end. The range of shapes and sizes is thought to be a result of the natural sorting process of the sea. The southern part of the beach towards Portland shelves steeply into the sea and continues below sea level, only levelling off at 18m depth. It is slightly shallower at the western end where it levels off at a depth of 11m. This is mirrored above sea level where typically the shingle ridge is 13m high at Portland and 4m high at West Bay. For 8 miles Chesil Beach is separated from the land by the Fleet lagoon - a shallow stretch of water up to 5m deep.
