As one of the Scandinavian states on the Baltic Sea, Finland shares borders with Russia to the east, Sweden to the west, and Norway to the north. This has made Finland a true cultural capital of northern Europe, and a main destination on many of our European, Arctic, and Russian cruises. The capital city of Helsinki combines the new and the old as you will see Neoclassical buildings just across the street from more modern buildings and enjoy the charming cafes and restaurants that can be found in the tranquil Kallio district of this bustling metropolitan city. While most of our tours spend only one day here, it serves as a great starting point for both Arctic and Baltic cruises & expeditions. Let our travel specialists know when you're ready to get started planning!
