Description

Enhance your shoreside experience with a Regent Choice small group tour. Hosting no more than 16 guests, these tours provide a more intimate experience and allow for more personal engagement with your knowledgeable guide.

Settle back for the definitive overview of Finland’s marvelous capital city on this panoramic drive. The carefully chosen route winds from the harbor past Embassy Park, Senate Square, the chic Esplanadi park district and landmark-lined Mannerheim Street, among other top Helsinki locales – with stops made for you to get closer to some of the most intriguing and photogenic sights. Among the highlights seen are the gleaming white Lutheran Cathedral made famous in the movies, the stadium where the 1952 Olympics happened, a concert hall designed by celebrated Finnish architect Alvar Aalto, and one of the city’s quirkiest signature buildings: the underground Rock Church. Excavated out of solid granite, its ribbed glass and copper dome roof looks rather like a UFO that took a wrong turn. At Sibelius Park, you’ll stop to ponder another modernist must-see – a shimmering stainless steel monument made of hollow tubes, erected in 1967 to honor Finland’s most famous composer by making music of their own as the breezes flow by. At the conclusion of your guided survey, you can choose to return to the ship or continuing exploring this never-dull city on your own.
