Make the most of your upcoming MSC Cruises sailing aboard the MSC Poesia with high-quality, top-rated tours and experiences matched to your exact itinerary.
After departing Rostock on 18 Sept 2025, MSC Poesia will take you and your travel party to remarkable destinations - and FindMyExcursions is here to help you experience more in each port.
We've partnered with the world’s largest tour marketplaces, including Viator, to offer a curated selection of excursions that go beyond what’s available in your MSC Cruises planner. Our intelligent matching system analyses your port times and schedule to recommend only the best-rated, time-compatible experiences — so you can relax, explore, and get back to the ship with confidence.
From scenic adventures and cultural immersions to foodie tours and historical walks, each excursion is selected because it's highly-rated by previous users, and tailored to fit the time you actually have ashore. With convenient port pick-up and drop-off included in most experiences — and a “Worry-Free Shore Excursion” policy available on selected tours — you’ll enjoy a seamless, stress-free outing every time you step off the ship.
Best of all, our selection often includes more variety — and better value — than the limited options offered directly by your cruise line.

About Helsinki
Helsinki, a city shaped by the sea, is built across peninsulas and islands along the Baltic coast’s Gulf of Finland. Its winding streets curve around bays, connected by bridges, with ferries regularly travelling between offshore islands. Since World War II, Helsinki has grown rapidly and now houses over one-tenth of Finland’s population within a metropolitan area spanning 315 islands. Founded in 1550 by King Gustav Vasa to rival Tallinn’s trade, Helsinki’s fortunes rose significantly in 1812 when it became Finland’s capital under Russian rule. The city was redesigned by architect Carl Ludvig Engel, resulting in some of Europe’s finest neoclassical buildings. Helsinki’s blend of Stockholm and St Petersburg influences, combined with Finnish design, gives it a unique charm. Today, the city is cosmopolitan and vibrant, with outdoor cafés and summer terraces perfect for people-watching. Its 400 parks and striking architecture make Helsinki a delightful stop for any cruise traveller.
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the ‘Worry-Free Shore Excursion’ on some of the excursions?
Viator’s Worry-Free Shore Excursion policy means that if your tour runs late and you miss your ship, they’ll arrange transport to the next port at no additional cost to you. This offer applies only to shore excursions specifically marked with the ‘Worry-Free’ badge on Viator. When you use FindMyExcursions, we help match you with these eligible tours where available, so you can book with confidence knowing you're covered if unexpected delays occur.

What are the risks of booking with third-party providers?
When you book excursions independently (i.e., outside of the cruise line), you’re responsible for managing your time ashore. If you miss the ship’s departure, the cruise will not wait, and you’ll have to make your own way to the next port.
That’s why FindMyExcursions only features tours that fit within your port timings, with enough buffer to get you back in good time. Many also offer port pick-up/drop-off for added convenience and peace of mind. You get all the flexibility of third-party booking, with smart, cruise-specific filtering built in.
Will I get a refund if the ship doesn’t dock or our itinerary changes?
If your ship is unable to dock or your itinerary changes at short notice, most tour providers on Viator offer a full refund if you cancel at least 24 hours in advance. However, cancellations within 24 hours usually aren't refundable. We recommend checking each tour’s cancellation policy before booking, as they can vary. Also, having comprehensive cruise travel insurance is key. Some policies may cover missed ports or excursions, but this usually depends on the circumstances and how much notice the cruise line provided. We’re not qualified to offer legal or financial advice so always check the fine print of your policy or speak to your insurer for specifics.
