Travel with CCWA
Destination Helsinki - Traveling May 30 - June 6, 2027
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 share 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.
