Finland Cruises

Fine Day in Finland

Make your Nordic dreams come true! Finland is a dreamy destination in Northern Europe, offering a rich tapestry of bucket-list experiences like the Northern Lights, traditional Finnish sauna culture, and festive Christmas markets on winter cruises. This charming Nordic nation boasts majestic lakes, lush forests, vast national parks and quaint old towns, all waiting to be explored!

Finland’s capital and main cruise port, Helsinki, is affectionately called the 'White City of the North' after its elegant architecture, crafted from pale granite. The charismatic capital encompasses a peninsula and surrounding islands in the Baltic Sea. Set on the Gulf of Bothnia, Vaasa is another picturesque cruise port, offering a serene escape steeped with history, iconic architecture and stunning natural scenery! Famed as Finland’s oldest city, Turku is a historic city dating back to the 13th century, with a blend of old-world charm and modern urban vibe.

Things to Do in Finland

Discover the White City of the North

Helsinki is the charming capital of Finland, where Art Nouveau architecture meets futuristic design! Whilst here, admire the UNESCO World Heritage site, Suomenlinna – a breath-taking 8th-century sea fortress and nature area, take a refreshing stroll along the Esplanadi Park, and be sure to swing by lively Market Square for a bite to eat! Soaring above the Senate Square is Helsinki Cathedral, a distinct and easily recognisable presence in the city skyline with a white-washed facade complemented by green domes! And for a change of scenery, how about visiting Käpylä – a hip, historic neighbourhood lined with 1920s wooden houses?

Experience the magic of Lapland

On the northernmost part of Finland lies Lapland, a magical region shared with neighbouring countries Sweden, Norway and Russia – complete with vast subarctic wilderness, ski resorts, and a hotspot for viewing the Northern Lights and Midnight Sun! Kemi is a coastal town in Lapland, serving as a cruise gateway to the region. Helsinki also offers an express train directly to Rovaniemi, the modern capital and is considered the official hometown of the legendary Christmas figure, Santa Claus. Visit the Santa Claus Village and get the chance to see Santa and his iconic elves!

Relax like a Finn

No trip to Finland is complete without experiencing a traditional Finnish sauna! This kind of sauna uses dry heat in darkness and silence, helping guests focus on holistic wellness for the body and the mind. There are different types of Finnish sauna, including electric and wood-burning sauna, but smoke sauna is considered the oldest and most authentic one. This time-honoured sauna culture has been embedded in the Finnish way of life for centuries, so trying it is truly unmissable! Löyly is one of the trendiest public saunas in Helsinki, offering a unique opportunity to enjoy a refreshing dip in the Baltic Sea between sauna sessions! 

Bask in the serenity of Åland

Seeking a sweet escape from the hustle and bustle? Go on an idyllic island adventure to Åland, a Swedish-speaking archipelago comprising 6,700 islands! Mariehamn is the laid-back capital and the cruise gateway to the Åland islands, brimming with pristine beaches and wooden townhouse-lined streets. Whether you’re admiring the sea views at the harbour, enjoying the scenery at the tree-lined Esplanade boulevard, or checking out the restaurants and cafes at the pedestrian-friendly Tortoggan, Mariehamn is the perfect place for leisurely walks and reconnecting with the outdoors!
