Helsinki Boat Tour: Is it Better than the HoHo?

Bob managed to grab a spot on a Royal Line Sightseeing boat tour of Helsinki on the very last day of its tourist season. The sky was clear blue, and the crisp early-fall weather was perfect for spending an hour and a half on the Baltic Sea Harbor of this European capital.

With a sun deck above, a bar/restaurant below, and harbor maps laminated to the tables, the boat cruise was an excellent way to get a feel for the city of Helsinki from the viewpoint of its harbor. Highlights included the fortresses that once guarded Helsinki, a church with a lighthouse on top, the Helsinki Zoo, and the jetty where families come to wash their rugs. Seriously!

The tour cost 26 euros, 22 euros for 65 and up, with larger discounts for children and babies. Audio tours were available in a variety of languages.

Here is how Royal Line describes the tour:

During the 1.5-hour sightseeing cruise, the main historical sights of Helsinki are visited. The large sun decks of sightseeing ships offer the best views of the city from the sea. Behind the memorable cruise, you will hear interesting stories about the history of Finland, wonderful landscapes from the ship's sun deck and the ships' professional crew.

The cruises start from the famous Kauppatori, and along the way you will admire, among other things, the beautiful Merisatama, Eira, Kaivopuisto, Kruununhaa beach and the wonderful UNESCO World Heritage Site Suomenlinna in its entirety.

During the cruise, you can enjoy the most amazing island scenery on the outer deck of the ship and the atmosphere of the summer terrace with the best sea view. All ships have a café-bar that serves snacks and refreshing refreshments.

European and North American Ports Preparing for Cold Ironing

Ports in Europe and North America are moving forward with efforts to create onshore power investing in the upgrades required to support cold ironing for ships calling at their ports. One of the priorities is the cruise ship sector as the ports seek to reduce emissions and enhance their region’s environmental performance.

In the past few days, three ports have announced new initiatives in shore power. The Port of Kiel, Germany dedicated its new facility while both Stockholm and Victoria, British Columbia authorized initiatives to develop the capabilities. The projects highlight both the opportunities and challenges in the development of the facilities.

Kiel

At nightfall on December 9, Kiel, Germany, illuminated its new onshore power supply plant, which is not only vital to the capability but also designed to be a showpiece on the waterfront.  “The onshore power supply plant is an important milestone on the way to becoming the most ecological port in Europe,” said Lord Mayor Dr. Ulf Kämpfer during the ceremony.

The plant ranks among the most powerful ones of its kind, according to the Port of Kiel and will supply Stena Line ferries with eco-power starting in 2021. The power plant can support two vessels on the dock at one time. Dr. Dirk Claus, Managing Director at the Port of Kiel said that as of January, the port can supply 44 percent of the energy demand by the vessels berthing in Kiel. Within two years the goal is to increase that to 60 to 70 percent.

While the plant will be an important contributor helping to reduce emissions in the region, the prominence of its position also made the building a landmark between the city center and the waterfront promenade. Almost half of the 720 square meter metal exterior wall is covered with more than 12,000 LEDs that can be individually controlled. When all LEDs are in full operation, the wall consumes less than 25 kWh of eco-power.

  Stockholm and Baltic Sea ports

The Ports of Stockholm, together with the Baltic Sea ports of Copenhagen/Malmö, Aarhus, and Helsinki, will all invest in providing onshore power to cruise ships in a joint initiative to reduce emissions within the port areas. By using a common international standard, the ports believe they will make it easier for cruise ships and shipping companies to invest in and connect to onshore power.

The Swedish Environmental Protection Agency and the EU have committed to investing in the onshore power supply for the Ports of Stockholm equipping two central quays with high voltage onshore power connections. The project will start in December 2020 and will be completed in 2023 and 2024.

  Stockholm is proceeding to equip terminals to do cold ironing

  Victoria, British Columbia

The Greater Victoria Harbour Authority confirmed that its board has decided to proceed with the next stage of the shore power project for the Victoria Cruise Terminal at The Breakwater District. Their decision came after reviewing a report which concluded that a reduction of more than 46 percent of greenhouse gas emissions and criteria air contaminants is achievable with the installation of shore power at two berths at Pier B, which is used by three-quarters of the cruise ships that visit Victoria. 

Cruise ships are the largest emission source for the area, accounting for 96 percent of total GHG emissions in 2018. Less than a third of the emissions are while the cruise ships are maneuvering with the report saying 70 percent is while the ships are on the dock. The report anticipated that by 2030, 85 percent of vessels calling at the Victoria Cruise Terminal will be shore power capable and by 2040 it will increase to 95 percent of vessels.

The challenge for the port is that the project is expected to cost up to US$20 million, while the port is currently receiving no cruise ship revenue due to the industry’s pause in operations in 2020.

In announcing its decision to proceed with the project, the port’s board said, “the project cannot proceed until a stabilization of the cruise industry is achieved and funding sources are determined.” The next steps will focus on funding opportunities with partners and stakeholders and developing a power upgrade design and installation plan with BC Hydro.

Departs for Copenhagen

The ‘Spitzbergen Experience’ cruise leads into the realm of polar bears.

On the MS Fram, passengers can explore the west coast of the largest island in the Svalbard Archipelago in detail. Starting out from the island capital of Longyearbyen, the MS Fram first sets a course for the ‘Sorkapp’ (southern cape) of Spitzbergen. The nine-day expeditionary voyage then leads north along the west coast to the north of the island at a latitude of 80° north.

The focus of the cruise entitled ‘Disko Bay Expedition’, meanwhile, is on the breathtakingly beautiful polar worlds, and encounters with the Inuit and their culture. The MS Fram starts off on its nine-day tour from Kangerlussuaq, moving north along the west coast of Greenland until it reaches Disko Bay, where gig antic glaciers and overwhelming ice landscapes mesmerise passengers. In addition to these fascinating natural experiences, high points of the trip include visits to small Inuit settlements.

Other providers are also aware of the magnetic attraction of this region, and the AIDA Northern Europe product now takes its guests further north than ever before: for the first time, the AlDAcara now travels to the idyllic Spitzbergen island group, between the North Sea and the Arctic Ocean, while the Lofoten islands, just off the Norwegian coast, are also visited for the first time on a Northern Europe trip. AIDA guests can enjoy the midnight sun and fjord landscape on a trip from Hammerfest to Gravdal via Tromso. These spectacular 17-day trips start out from Kiel on three dates in June and July 2012.

Nordic version

Hapag-Lloyd Kreuzfahrten is also setting a course firmly north: on the MS Europa, passengers can enjoy an introductory trip with the eclectic title ‘MS Euro pa meets Sansibar offSylt’. Highlights of this trip include the day-long passage through the Kiel Canal, the island of Sylt, and an invitation to feast at the legendary beach bar Sansibar, a Nordic version of the Cafe del Mar on Ibiza. As the sun sinks slowly beneath the horizon, another unexpected pleasure awaits: a raucous party night aboard the Europa.

Anyone wishing to discover their more adventurous side is in the right place: the expeditionary ships Hanseatic and Bremen ofHapag-Lloyd Kreuzfahrten are distinguished by their low draft, categorisation in the highest ice class possible for passenger ships (E4), and their manoeuvrable and robust inflatable boats, 14 and 12 in number respectively. The very latest technology on board ensures the ships can navigate the harsh conditions of the waters of the Arctic and Antarctic Oceans safely and venture deep into the polar regions, beyond the northern and southern polar circles.

After a long time out, the Bremen is setting out again in 2011, heading for Alaska, where it will offer two expeditionary voyages to the home of sea eagles and bears. The ship will navigate the legendary North-West Passage in August 2011, while the Hanseatic will take passengers to the eastern section of the North-West Passage at the same time.

Northern Europe

Convincedyou’ve seen all there is to see in Northern Europe? Then treat yourself to a cruise through the region on one of the ships in the MSC fleet. The fleet travels to the Baltic, Norway and its beautiful fjords, as well as Iceland and the unique Faroe and Shetland Islands. The cities of Tallinn, Stockholm, Helsinki, Copenhagen and Amsterdam don’t just offer lovely tourist attractions, but are also perfect for taking extended shore leave.

In general, anyone who loves tumultuous waterfalls, crystal-dear air and fascinating landscapes will love a trip north. Due to the large demand, Cost a Kreuzfahrten now also sends its flagship, the Costa Pacifika, to the Great North: starting out from Hamburg or Kiel, the company offers uniquely lovely routes along the Norwegian coasts to the northern cape and Spitzbergen.

Absolutely magical cities await you on the 8-day cruises of the Costa Magica. From Elamburg, it departs for Copenhagen, Oslo, Dover (London), Le Havre (Paris) and Amsterdam. Could there be a lovelier way to travel the most fascinating cities of Northern and Western Europe? No matter whether you decide on a classic Nordic cruise to the serene Norwegian fjords or prefer to dive into the chaos of the region’s most beautiful cities, you can be sure of one thing on all these cruises: you will be warmly welcomed on board.

SPITZBERGEN EXPERIENCE CRUISE

The ‘Spitzbergen Experience’ cruise leads into the realm of polar bears.

On the MS Fram, passengers can explore the west coast of the largest island in the Svalbard Archipelago in detail. Starting out from the island capital of Longyearbyen, the MS Fram first sets a course for the ‘Sorkapp’ (southern cape) of Spitzbergen. The nine-day expeditionary voyage then leads north along the west coast to the north of the island at a latitude of 80° north.

The focus of the cruise entitled ‘Disko Bay Expedition’, meanwhile, is on the breathtakingly beautiful polar worlds, and encounters with the Inuit and their culture. The MS Fram starts off on its nine-day tour from Kangerlussuaq, moving north along the west coast of Greenland until it reaches Disko Bay, where gig antic glaciers and overwhelming ice landscapes mesmerise passengers. In addition to these fascinating natural experiences, high points of the trip include visits to small Inuit settlements.

Other providers are also aware of the magnetic attraction of this region, and the AIDA Northern Europe product now takes its guests further north than ever before: for the first time, the AlDAcara now travels to the idyllic Spitzbergen island group, between the North Sea and the Arctic Ocean, while the Lofoten islands, just off the Norwegian coast, are also visited for the first time on a Northern Europe trip. AIDA guests can enjoy the midnight sun and fjord landscape on a trip from Hammerfest to Gravdal via Tromso. These spectacular 17-day trips start out from Kiel on three dates in June and July 2012.

Nordic version

Hapag-Lloyd Kreuzfahrten is also setting a course firmly north: on the MS Europa, passengers can enjoy an introductory trip with the eclectic title ‘MS Euro pa meets Sansibar offSylt’. Highlights of this trip include the day-long passage through the Kiel Canal, the island of Sylt, and an invitation to feast at the legendary beach bar Sansibar, a Nordic version of the Cafe del Mar on Ibiza. As the sun sinks slowly beneath the horizon, another unexpected pleasure awaits: a raucous party night aboard the Europa.

Anyone wishing to discover their more adventurous side is in the right place: the expeditionary ships Hanseatic and Bremen ofHapag-Lloyd Kreuzfahrten are distinguished by their low draft, categorisation in the highest ice class possible for passenger ships (E4), and their manoeuvrable and robust inflatable boats, 14 and 12 in number respectively. The very latest technology on board ensures the ships can navigate the harsh conditions of the waters of the Arctic and Antarctic Oceans safely and venture deep into the polar regions, beyond the northern and southern polar circles.

After a long time out, the Bremen is setting out again in 2011, heading for Alaska, where it will offer two expeditionary voyages to the home of sea eagles and bears. The ship will navigate the legendary North-West Passage in August 2011, while the Hanseatic will take passengers to the eastern section of the North-West Passage at the same time.

Northern Europe

Convincedyou’ve seen all there is to see in Northern Europe? Then treat yourself to a cruise through the region on one of the ships in the MSC fleet. The fleet travels to the Baltic, Norway and its beautiful fjords, as well as Iceland and the unique Faroe and Shetland Islands. The cities of Tallinn, Stockholm, Helsinki, Copenhagen and Amsterdam don’t just offer lovely tourist attractions, but are also perfect for taking extended shore leave.

In general, anyone who loves tumultuous waterfalls, crystal-dear air and fascinating landscapes will love a trip north. Due to the large demand, Cost a Kreuzfahrten now also sends its flagship, the Costa Pacifika, to the Great North: starting out from Hamburg or Kiel, the company offers uniquely lovely routes along the Norwegian coasts to the northern cape and Spitzbergen.

Absolutely magical cities await you on the 8-day cruises of the Costa Magica. From Elamburg, it departs for Copenhagen, Oslo, Dover (London), Le Havre (Paris) and Amsterdam. Could there be a lovelier way to travel the most fascinating cities of Northern and Western Europe? No matter whether you decide on a classic Nordic cruise to the serene Norwegian fjords or prefer to dive into the chaos of the region’s most beautiful cities, you can be sure of one thing on all these cruises: you will be warmly welcomed on board.
