Helsinki is one of the leading passenger ports in the Baltic. Helsinki received close to 300 cruise calls and nearly 400,000 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.
Helsinki is the northernmost capital in the European Union. Over the centuries the city has maintained its human face. Helsinki stands out from the other Scandinavian capitals by virtue of its youth and dynamism. The city’s compact size and clear plan make Helsinki a safe and pleasant place to visit. Helsinki has been aptly described as a ‘pocket-sized metropolis’.
