WHAT YOU VISIT
Evening Cruise
After a day exploring this fascinating 475-year-old city, behold Helsinki from a different perspective on a leisurely narrated cruise around Helsinki's archipelago, a collection of over 300 islands. After a short walk, you'll board your private boat and as the captain cruises out over the sparkling waters, you'll have views of picturesque waterfront saunas, old villas and landmarks such as the Suomenlinna Fortress, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Built in the 18th century by Sweden, it sits on a group of islands located at the entrance of the harbor.
PHOTO OPPORTUNITIES
Have your camera or binoculars ready-even during Helsinki's twilight hours, you may see grey and ringed seals and an occasional dolphin or whale. The archipelago is rich in birdlife, with common sightings of seagulls, terns, razorbills and white-tailed eagles.
WHAT YOU SEE ALONG THE WAY
Suomenlinna Fortress isn't the only sight you'll see during the cruise. City parks, summer cottages, the Old Market Hall and Korkeasaari Zoo all take on a subtle glow in the evening light.
