Explore Helsinki by bike. Your guide will meet you directly at the ship and assist you with your bike, helmet and any necessary adjustments. After listening to a safety briefing, you're ready to head off into the Finnish capital.
Being relatively flat, Helsinki is a wonderful city to explore by bicycle. Pass the exclusive waterfront homes of diplomats and Kaivopuisto Park with its panoramas of Suomenlinna Island Fortress. Pedal along the scenic, traffic-free waterfront to the monument at Sibelius Park.
Hop back on your bike and continue through Töölö Bay for more great views of the city, the Opera House and 19th-century wooden houses. Then, head to Eastern Harbor to look over to Katajanokka Island — the site of the gold-domed Uspenski Cathedral.
Dismount at Market Square and walk your bike as you browse among the colorful mounds of cloudberries, lingonberries and crafts from all over Finland. From here, it is only a short distance back to the pier.
