Creator's Key Takeaways

I just feel incredibly fortunate to have gotten such an amazing trip out of all these 12 days. It really has been fantastic.

The itinerary just cannot be beat. NCL really knows what they're doing when it comes to really good itineraries.

The crew have been fantastic. Everyone has been very kind, very friendly, very nice. No issues whatsoever.

The food quality and taste and presentation and just all of it has improved much, much more over the length of the cruise.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Take the shuttle for €12 if you don't want to walk from the port to the city center.
βœ“Check H&M for cheap sunglasses if you lose yours.
βœ“Consider the hop-on hop-off bus for exploring more of the city.

YouTube Video Description↓

Welcome to Helsinki, Finland! It's my last day on the NCL Dawn and while we have a shorter day in port, I try to make the most of it exploring around this bustling city on foot. Compared to the previous cities I visited, this one is much busier and spread out, but I had a wonderful time wandering around the local seaside market perusing the local foods and souvenirs and had a delicious lunch with a perfect view of the Helsinki Cathedral. I ended the afternoon back on the ship with my thoughts overall about this cruise, the ship and the amazing itinerary! I made a video for every port that I visited, and loved getting to experience these beautiful European cities!
