here<\/a>.<\/p>\nAt least I booked, because I have been waiting for this ever since I missed my chance in the 2021 summer.\u00a0 For some reason, they only offer very few of these day trips —- three departures per summer.\u00a0 This year, it is Jun 6, Jun 27 and July 7.\u00a0 Basically depart from Helsinki on Friday late afternoon, arrive at Riga in the morning the next day.\u00a0 Spend about 8 hours in Riga, then go back to the cruise by 18:10 to sail to Helsinki.\u00a0 At last arrive at Helsinki in Sunday afternoon.\u00a0 This is a quiet convenient weekend city-break.\u00a0 No need to use annual leave; no need to pack a suitcase; just grab the backpack and go.<\/p>\n
This type of cruise day trip is extremely appealing to families with kids.\u00a0 On cruise ship, there are usually playroom or playground for kids.\u00a0 Or, just go to the deck, even kids are amazed by the sea, the sunshine, and the seagulls.\u00a0 I still remember how my toddler was enjoying the deck on a cruise to St. Petersburg.<\/p>\n
The cost is not as friendly as sailing to Stockholm.\u00a0 Maybe because there are so many cruises going to Stockholm?\u00a0 Flying to Riga is actually cheaper, but cruise is just so much easier.<\/p>\n
So, we are off to go in just three days!\u00a0 I can report back about the trip.<\/p>\n
