Start planning your cruise and book your excursions to Helsinki
Helsinki, the capital of Finland, is an enchanting MSC Northern Europe Cruises destination. This charismatic capital is celebrated for its elegant Neoclassical facades, historical museums, and leafy tree-lined boulevards.
MSC Cruises excursions offer plenty of exciting things to see including:

Helsinki, affectionately called the '
White City of the North', is known for its elegant architecture, crafted from aesthetically-pleasing pale granite. On an
MSC Cruises excursion, you’ll venture to the
old town centre, home of Senate Square and the Lutheran Helsinki Cathedral. Neoclassical in style and shaped like a Greek cross, its rooftop boasts statues of the Twelve Apostles. A tall green dome, surrounded by four smaller ones, is a distinctive city landmark.
Admire Helsinki from the water on a romantic MSC Cruises excursion. You’ll enjoy a leisurely cruise through the beautiful landscapes of this amazing archipelago. Photograph Suomenlinna, an 18th-century UNESCO World Heritage Site fortress, before admiring villas set in stunning natural landscapes. A guide will describe the views as you enjoy a complimentary glass of sparkling wine or a delicious cup of coffee.
Visit the Finnish Nature Centre Haltia on an MSC Cruises excursion — an exhibition and events facility surrounded by majestic rural landscapes. Heated and cooled using solar power and geo-energy, the site houses stunning interactive displays. Admire recreations of the southern archipelago, 40 of Finland's national parks, and the snowy hills of Lapland.
