Costa Brava
Crystal clear Mediterranean waters and the rocky coastline of Northeast Spain immediately after departure.
The Swiss Alps

Lake Constance
The vast expanse of the 'Bodensee' where the borders of Germany, Switzerland, and Austria meet.
Berlin Metropolitan Area
The sprawling capital of Germany, often including glimpses of the TV Tower and the surrounding Spree river.
Hel Peninsula
