🇸🇪 Your Baltic Sea adventure begins in Sweden, with the elegant capital Stockholm as your starting point. Often translated as “log island,” Stockholm beautifully embodies the charm, style, and warmth of Scandinavian living — all set against the glistening backdrop of the Baltic Sea.

If you wish, you can add the “Stockholm City Tour Overview” option directly on the tour booking page to explore the city highlights with a knowledgeable local guide.

🚗 At 15:00, a private transfer will take you to the harbor, where you’ll check in for your overnight cruise to Turku — Finland’s historic former capital.

🚢 The ferries on this route are not just vessels; they’re floating resorts. Designed to carry over 3,000 passengers and 400 vehicles, they offer all the comforts for a memorable journey: lively bars, fine restaurants, entertainment shows, duty-free shopping, and even casinos. It’s more than just transportation — it’s part of the experience.

You’ll be woken up early in the morning to have a breakfast on board. The buffet will include a wide range of hot and cold meals along with beverages.

Our driver will meet you in Turku at 8 a.m. and transport you to your hotel in the city center. The Scandinavian minimalism and comfort of the rooms will allow you to relax and recharge.

In the afternoon, you will go on a fascinating tour of Turku. This is a lovely harbor city that was created in the 13th century and is Finland’s oldest. Until 1809, the city functioned as Finland’s capital. Turku Cathedral from the 18th century, Turku Castle (Turunlinna) from the 16th century, and stunning architecture await you.

The 16th century was the most tumultuous time for the castle. It was the home of Duke Johan, who subsequently became King of Sweden. At the time, the court had over 600 inmates. This fortification is now home to the Turku Historical Museum.

This is one of Northern Europe’s most important historical monuments of urban culture. The museum has restored 18 artisan houses and over 30 craft workshops. Workshops are established up in the Luostarinmäki houses, where artisans work on their crafts. These homes survived the 1827 fire and were restored in their original locations. The museum reproduced scenes of urban life in Finland’s old capital. You may see the traditional customs and daily lives of the residents here. Some houses feature stores where you may buy handcrafted things.

Turku is well-known as a scientific and cultural center: two schools have been in operation here since the 13th century, and in 1640 the first university and the first printing business in Finland were established. Turku was the site of the first publication of a newspaper in Finland, which began in 1772. In 2011, the city, together with the Estonian capital, was designated as the European Capital of Culture.

In the evening, you may take a tour through the neighborhood stores and dine in one of the charming Finnish restaurants.

After breakfast, at 08:00, you will be picked up by a private vehicle and taken to the train station. The train from Turku to Helsinki will arrive at the central station in Helsinki, the Finnish capital, around 10:30 a.m.

The contemporary cosmopolitan city of Helsinki, which is located on the Baltic Sea’s coastlines, has been designated as the “World Design Capital” by the United Nations. Throughout this area, the natural splendor of the surrounding landscape is harmonized with the accomplishments of high technology and contemporary trends. A tour of the city center will provide you with the opportunity to explore both ancient landmarks and instances of modern architecture and progressive style, which demonstrate that the city is looking optimistically to the future.

Following your check-in at the hotel, you will go on a sightseeing tour of the city center. Finland’s most popular viewing tour, the Helsinki Panorama Sightseeing, will take you on a journey through the city’s past and present, highlighting the most amazing views of Helsinki. In this guided tour of Helsinki, you will learn about the city’s most important landmarks such as its historic core, Senate Square and Market Square, as well as its City Hall, Parliament buildings, Finlandia Hall and Opera House. At the Temppeliaukio Church (the church in the rock) or the Sibelius Monument, you will have the opportunity to take photos (if the church is opened).

Scandi Travel Helsinki tour packages are included in most Northern Europe travel itineraries, and they are particularly popular in the summer.

The capital of Estonia, Tallinn, is the next stop on your journey. At 9 a.m., the driver will greet you in the lobby of your hotel and transport you to the West Port of Finland. From there, you will continue your fascinating experience by taking a tour of Tallinn’s downtown attractions.
