These days, the maritime route to Helsinki is bustling, just as it has always been. Its waters once bore witness to Swedish warships, bootleggers' boats from the Prohibition era and the legendary ferry Georg Ots.

Helsinki is a city where architectural surprises abound. The classical façades you first encounter can be misleading. Take a short stroll along the waterfront from the terminal to the city centre to see for yourself.
If you have no specific plans in Helsinki, then the two-and-a-half-hour sea journey is an excellent opportunity to map out your visit to the Finnish capital while also grabbing a bite to eat or availing of the favourable onboard store prices.
The maritime entrance to Helsinki is one of the most beautiful in the Baltic: the ship sails past tiny islets with fishing cottages, and nearby, the fortifications of Suomenlinna reveal themselves. Speaking of Suomenlinna, it's a fantastic spot with numerous museums where, in good weather, you can spend an entire day and have a picnic.
Which Helsinki should you choose? Architectural? Museum-focused? Design-oriented? Culinary? Your exploration of the city can take you in any multitude of directions!
After your wander, treat yourself to a relaxing dinner or a sing-along at the onboard karaoke bar.

There are cabins of various categories on board, the price of which depends on the size and set of amenities.
