Creator's Key Takeaways

Britannia is the ship we spent the most time on. Um, we've had a few two nightiters on here, a couple of week cruises, and this one was two weeks.

It was at least an hour to get into the city from here. But it was a really nice walk along the seafront. Lots of things to see.

I must admit by the end my feet were very sore and I had blisters.

We treated them to afternoon tea here in the Epicurian and it was amazing. There was so much food, so much sweet stuff as you can see here.

Creator's Tips & Advice

If you cannot walk a long distance, take the shuttle or a hop-on hop-off bus tour in Helsinki instead of walking from the port.

YouTube Video Description

Join us for part two of our P&O Britannia cruise to Scandinavia and the Baltics! 🚢✨ In this video we enjoy a relaxing day at sea, grab a sneak peek of the ship ahead of our full P&O Britannia ship tour, and treat our friends to a delicious afternoon tea in the Epicurean restaurant (so much cake! 🍰). The following day we arrive in Helsinki, Finland, and decide to walk from the cruise port into the city — is it really doable and is it worth it? We stroll along the seafront, explore the harbour and market area, try reindeer hot dogs, take a ride on the SkyWheel for amazing views, and even stop for a beer at a rooftop bar with outdoor pools overlooking the water. We finish the day back on board with dinner and a fun Lady Gaga tribute show, before watching a late sail-out while it’s still surprisingly bright outside. If you’re planning a Baltic cruise or sailing on P&O Britannia, we hope this gives you a helpful look at what a sea day and a Helsinki port day can really be like. 👉 Don’t forget to check out part one of the cruise and keep an eye out for our full Britannia ship tour coming soon! 👍 If you enjoy cruise vlogs, please like and subscribe — it really helps the channel.
