Travel with CCWA on an immersive, small group journey to Helsinki, Finland. From the UNESCO-listed Suomenlinna Sea Fortress to the modern Oodi Library, Helsinki is a place where history and the future come together.
This seven-day journey with CCWA is designed for the curious traveler who is interested in more than sightseeing. Explore the city by foot, tram, and bike. Share long dinner tables with fellow travelers and locals. Peek inside the halls of the Finnish Parliament and swap ideas with Finnish thinkers on world affairs and society. And swap your shoes for a sauna towel. Intimate by design, the small group format will promote connection, unique access to Finnish cultural and historic sites, and many memorable moments.
Jenni Carney, CCWA’s Chief Operating Officer and Finnish native, will lead travel with the group. The program is priced at $4,545 per person (single supplement: $225), and includes six nights accommodations, daily breakfast, two group dinners, local transportation, and all tours and entry fees. Airfare is not included.
