Cosmos packs four capitals and plenty of countryside into 14 days on The Baltic States & Scandinavia, a trip that suits travellers who want the Nordic and Baltic highlights in one guided sweep rather than several separate trips. The fare covers accommodation, meals, transport and a guide, and it starts from $3,259 per person, rated 4.9 from 17 reviews. One cost sits outside that price: the long-haul flight. International airfare is excluded, so budget for it on top of the land package.
What The Itinerary Actually Covers
The route starts in Copenhagen and runs north and east through eight countries, linking the Nordic capitals with the three Baltic states. Cosmos operates it as a 14-day coach itinerary; the listing does not state the end city, so confirm the finish point on the live booking page before you arrange travel home.
Fourteen days across eight countries is survey pace. Most travel happens by coach, and some stops are measured in hours rather than overnights. The listing publishes no drive times or distances, so read the day-by-day breakdown before committing.
Real time goes to the capital cities and the corridors between them. Fjord country and the Baltic coastline away from the main road get a pass at best. That pace suits first-time visitors collecting the region's headline sights, and it wears thin for slow travellers.
What Is Included, And What Is Not
The published fare for this 14-day Cosmos itinerary starts at $3,259 per person. That price is a land package: it pays for your accommodation, meals, transport and the guide who travels with the group. Rated 4.9 across 17 reviews, the trip is one of the stronger performers in the Scandinavia and Baltics category on this site.
International flights are not included, and this is the point most worth checking before you book. The fare also leaves out extra services the operator sells separately, travel insurance and optional excursions. Anything beyond the core land package is yours to add.
The listing does not publish an insurance requirement, so the booking terms are the place to check, and insurance is a contract term rather than a legal Schengen entry condition. Budget the airfare on top of the land price, and confirm the remaining details on the live booking page before you commit.
Who This Package Suits
This package fits the traveller who wants the Nordic capitals and the Baltic states in one 14-day sweep by coach. At $3,259 per person it sits mid-range for the region, and the listing states no group cap, so expect a standard coach-tour crowd rather than a small-group feel.
It is the wrong pick for anyone who wants depth over breadth. Two weeks in a single country, or a fjord-focused trip such as Trafalgar's Scenic Scandinavia and its Fjords, would serve that traveller better. Younger visitors after a faster, more social pace may prefer Contiki's 12-day Best of Scandinavia.
Questions To Settle Before Booking
What does this package cost per person?
The package starts from $3,259 per person. That is a land price with no airfare in it, so international flights are excluded and cost extra. What the fare does cover is accommodation, meals, transport and a guide for the full 14 days. Optional excursions, travel insurance and any extra services the operator sells separately are also outside the published price.
How many countries does it visit?
The route covers eight countries: Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and Sweden. Not all of them involve an overnight stop; some are crossed in transit between major stops, which is normal on a coach tour of this scale. Either way, you pass through all eight in 14 days.
Is travel insurance required?
Travel insurance is not a legal condition for entering the Schengen countries on this route. Some operators make it contractual instead, so check the booking terms before you pay. Cosmos, which runs this tour, sets out its requirements on the live booking page. A policy covering medical costs and repatriation is wise anyway, since treatment in Scandinavia and the Baltics can be costly without it.
Do I need ETIAS for this trip?
ETIAS is not yet in operation. The European Union has published no start date beyond the last quarter of 2026, so for now US travellers enter with a passport alone. The Entry/Exit System has been fully operational since 10 April 2026, but it records border crossings rather than requiring advance authorisation. Every country on this route, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and Sweden, is in Schengen, so a 14-day trip sits comfortably inside the 90-days-in-180 allowance.
