Pathetic cruise

Rahul_K, Jun 2025
Not at all recommended. No great sighting just seat and take big shots of chill air with nothing much to do, not even any good views for pics. If you have too much free time & some money to waste then do this cruise Better to do a cruise with dining atleast it will be some good time pass.

Very comfortable

Patrick_M, Jun 2024
Great experience. Only 4 stars because it was a taped info tour w/out a live guide, but we'll worth the trip 💯%

Great tour!

Daniel_K, May 2024
Very nice, informative tour with excellent viewing from inside and outside the boat. The tour was very extensive, traveling through a large section of the archipelago and an exciting canal. If you get cold, you can go in and enjoy a coffee while the tour continues. What a great way to start our stay in Helsinki! I wish that the volume had been a little higher on the speakers--it was challenging to hear the "guide" at times. The two couples sitting near us were speaking amongst themselves very loudly (not listening to the guide) and it was hard to hear over them.

Great overview and taste of helsinki

Katy_K, Jun 2022
Very convenient affordable informative and easy to locate outside the market. Great views, bring a jacket!

Response from Host, Jun 2022

Thank you for your nice review! I hope it will be a warm summer, but yes, at sea you will need to have a jacket with you, or go to the inside deck to keep warm.
