Glide by local ferry across Helsinki’s harbour to the island stronghold of Suomenlinna and step inside a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Wander ramparts, dry docks and cobbled lanes linking six islands, where pastel wooden houses and sea views frame a living community.

Your guide unpacks the fortress’s layered story across Swedish, Russian and Finnish eras—an 18th-century bastion that guarded Baltic trade routes. Explore coastal ramparts and echoing tunnels, then pause by windswept shores for bracing Baltic air and lighthouse vistas.

Sail in comfort as you cross the Gulf of Finland aboard a modern, comfortable ship. Settle into lounges or step on deck for sea breezes and views of rocky skerries, harbor pilots and passing ferries tracing the blue Baltic.

This storied maritime corridor has linked capitals since Hanseatic times. Watch fortress walls slip astern and the rocky skerries and open Baltic unfold before the Tallinn’s medieval skyline—slender spires and red roofs rising above the harbor.

Explore Kadriorg Palace and Park, a jewel of Northern Baroque created as Peter the Great’s baroque residence for Catherine I. Stroll formal gardens, linden allées and the Swan Pond before stepping into lavish salons.

In the palace galleries, encounter European art spanning centuries, including works associated with Brueghel the Younger, Cranach the Elder and Jordaens—an elegant window into imperial taste on the Baltic shore.

Follow a local guide to explore Tallinn’s UNESCO-listed Old Town, entering through the 14th-century Viru Gate. Trace cobbled lanes to Town Hall Square and climb to Upper Town viewpoints for sweeping cityscapes of spires and slate roofs.

Along the way, taste local delicacies—pastries, chocolate, marzipan and claret—while hearing tales of Hanseatic merchants. Step into Raeapteek, Europe’s oldest continuously operating pharmacy, where remedies and confections have been dispensed for over six centuries.

Discover Finland’s capital as you join a guided panoramic tour through elegant boulevards and along the waterfront.
