Tour Highlights

Tour Program

Day One - Walking Tour of Stockholm and Departure to Turku

Sweden is the starting point for your Baltic cruise. Stockholm, a major European port, is commonly interpreted as “a log island.” On the Baltic Sea, this is an illustration of Scandinavian coziness, taste, and beauty.

At 15:00, the car will transport you to the harbor for a check-in aboard the ship sailing for Turku, Finland’s ancient capital.

All of the ships involved in the trip package are large, comfortable ferries that can accommodate over 3,000 passengers and 400 automobiles. There are pubs, restaurants, casinos, entertainment programs, and duty-free stores aboard the ships.

Day Two - Turku Orientation

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.

+ Day Three - Trip to Helsinki

Day Four - Holidays in Tallinn

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.

The trip will be short and enjoyable, taking no more than 2 hours on a comfortable ferry.

The next generation high-speed vessel was built especially for the Tallinn-Helsinki route and is the fastest vessel ever built. The ferry’s overall length is 212.2 meters, and it has adequate capacity on board to accommodate 2,800 passengers.

Nearly 50,000 tons of recorded weight are contained on the facilities. The ferry is capable of reaching speeds of up to 27 mph while consuming minimum fuel on the way. Passengers will be delighted by the advances in service on board.

An onboard Traveler Superstore with a sales space of 2800 m2 is available to passengers.

You may also choose from a variety of dining options on board, including the Delight buffet, The Chef’s Kitchen, Burger King, Starbucks, and others.

Special occasions will be even more stunning for you if you purchase high-quality cosmetics and fashion goods at the most competitive rates available in the Baltic States.

You will arrive in Tallinn at around 12:30 p.m. Our guide will meet you at the dock and greet you with a joyful and kind grin.

Tallinn’s Old Town is a living museum that is available to the public.

It has a wonderful ambiance of the Middle Ages and the old Hanseatic city, with a city wall with towers, a maze of twisting cobblestone lanes, old homes, remarkable sights, and historical and architectural monuments intertwined throughout the area.

This is a little town in which the tourist attractions can be readily and comfortably visited on foot, making it a great place to visit.

Tallinn, the capital of Estonia and one of the largest and most attractive cities in the Baltics, is located on the Baltic Sea’s northeastern shore. Tallinn is also known as the “Capital of the Baltics.” It is Estonia’s most important port and the most fascinating city in the country. Tallinn is a fascinating fusion of antiquity and modernity, and it is well worth a visit.

Its well-preserved ancient town has been recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.

The Stockholm, Helsinki, Tallinn itinerary offered by Scandi Travel is an excellent way to explore three beautiful cities. We visited the Old Town in Stockholm, enjoyed the architecture in Helsinki, and explored the charming city of Tallinn. The accommodation was comfortable, and the tour guides were friendly and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone looking to experience the Baltic region.

Janet K.March 16, 2022
We had an absolutely wonderful time. The ship taking us to and from Stockholm was enjoyable, with multiple dining options and ample public space. The Stockholm and Turku hotels were located right in the middle of everything and quite comfortable and secure. The tours of the city were fantastic – the guides were extremely knowledgeable and happy to answer all our questions. And we enjoyed the free time to do some exploring on our own. All in all, a great experience.
