Helsinki

Helsinki is one of the leading passenger ports in the Baltic. Helsinki received close to 303 cruise calls and nearly 600,000 cruise passengers last year. Helsinki is just an overnight cruise from St. Petersburg and Stockholm. Here ships can replenish their water supplies, stock up on high-quality food and offer passengers a uniquely charming stopping point in the Baltic.

Helsinki’s South Harbour is conveniently located for cruise passengers and is considered one of the most beautiful passenger harbours in the world. Ships tie up in the heart of the city. Visitors have been favourably impressed by Helsinki’s cleanliness, friendliness, tidiness, beautiful buildings, sea and harbour.
