Overview

Enjoy a relaxed and well-organized visit to Helsinki with this shore excursion designed for cruise passengers. You'll be picked up directly from the port and travel in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle for a calm, guided introduction to Finland’s capital.

See top sights like the Sibelius Monument and Park, the Presidential Palace, Opera House, and the shop-lined Esplanadi Street. Your local guide will share easy-to-follow stories and background as you ride through the city, with plenty of time to take in the views and atmosphere at a comfortable pace.

After the guided portion, enjoy free time to explore, stop for a coffee, or pick up a souvenir. When you're ready, we’ll return you to your ship with time to spare before departure.
