Helsinki Cruise Reviews

Good walking and the shopping was wonderful. ...

We bought a day pass for transport. Team from port takes you to and from town. After a walk in town, we took the 15 min. Ferry to Sea Fortress and spent several hours there. Great military museum. Great walking paths, views etc. Cafe and bistro on this island. The tram to take is 6T. ...

Wanting to relax a bit, we booked a Cosy Finland visit for lunch with a local Finnish family. Ahead of time we arranged a custom visit and were paired with a couple to visit their home. Our hosts were very welcoming and the meal delicious and we got to learn much more about present day Finnish culture.

The rock church is worth a visit and it’s easy to do yourself ...

We took a hop on - hop off bus and decided to stop off at the museum. Unfortunately it didn't open until 11:00 and we didn't have the time to hang around waiting so we caught the next bus back to the city centre where we had a lovely meal. People friendly and place felt very safe and clean. ...

The hop-on bus covers most of the city which is quite small although we found out later that there was a tram stop a few hundred yards from the port. ...

A little underwhelming stop after just having come from St. Petersburg and Tallinn, but a decent city that you can cover by foot in a couple of hours. Nice waterfront and market. We took a canal boat tour. It was OK but a little slow paced. ...

We rode the Hop On/Hop Off bus which turned out to be a horrible experience. The audio wasn't working we sat along a curb while several other busses passed us by. The Wifi did not work. It was OK once we were able to get off, walk, and then catch a different bus. There wasn't much to see in Helsinki outside of the market; no reason to get off the bus. It was overpriced. ...

An Excursion included with Cruise ...

Did Viking bus/walking tour. Then do rest of day on our own. Take shuttle back and walk around. ...
