Experience Finland in a day. See the city life, enjoy the views of the countryside, and experience the hospitality of a Finnish family.
Pass Market Square, Uspenski Orthodox Cathedral and the Presidential Palace, with a brief stop at Senate Square. Your guide will point out the Opera House, Finlandia Hall, the National Museum and the Parliament House.
Head out of town towards the Sipoo region and the Savijärvi Homestead, where the family welcomes you. See the horses that have been bred and trained here for three generations — the equestrian industry at its finest. In the family dining room, a homemade light lunch will be served and, weather permitting, you can enjoy your coffee and dessert on the terrace.
Stop in the village of Porvoo — its medieval character is evident in the cobblestone streets and wooden buildings.
Return to Helsinki with a stop at the rather fascinating Rock Church, carved into bedrock.
Notes:
Time permitting, guests wishing to stay in town to shop or explore independently are welcome to do so (morning tour only), but must make their own way back to the ship. Tour requires a 400-yard walk uphill from the coach parking to the Rock Church. Inside church visit(s) may not be possible if religious services are being held or if precluded by time constraints. Terrain includes even and uneven surfaces, cobblestones, inclines, gravel, and steps. Not advisable for guests using a wheelchair or for those with mobility limitations. Tour is available only on select sailings. Use of an audio headset (included) will enhance your tour experience.
