Day by day

Itinerary

  1. 1

    Helsinki (Finland), Disembark Hebridean Sky and Hämeenlinna

    Disembark after breakfast and leave the city for Hämeenlinna and Häme Castle, where we enjoy lunch. One of Finland’s medieval royal castles, Häme Castle is believed to have been built at the end of the 13th century, following Swede Earl Birger’s crusade to the Häme region. Following our tour, we transfer to a hotel situated on a lake within the Aulanko Nature Park. Relax and enjoy the views before we meet for dinner this evening.

  2. 2

    Aulanko and Tampere

    Enjoy breakfast at the hotel before embarking on a full-day cruise through the beautiful forest-covered landscape of the lake district. Take in the scenery of Lake Pyhäjärvi and Lake Vanajavesi before having lunch on board. Early this afternoon, we make a stop at Visavuori, the house and studio of sculptor Emil Wikström. Wikström’s home, built in 1894, is typical of the homes of Nordic artists of the time. Almost 100 of his works are displayed in his studio here. We reboard our ship and continue through the lake country to Tampere, where we stay overnight, along the shores of Lake Pyynikki.
