DAY 1

Arrival in Helsinki with Silja Line. Silja Line
is the best alternative for a summer vacation
trip, whether you’re planning to drive
from European destinations along the King’s
Road or take a cruise on the Baltic. Silja Line
is the only shipping company that has three
different routes to Europe.

The tour on the eastern King’s Road starts
from Helsinki. After it your first destination
is Loviisa. Typical for Loviisa are fortresses
from the 18th century, the old town with its
wooden buildings and the town centre dating
back to the 19th century. In the era when
great fortresses were built, the fortresses
Rosen and Ungern were erected on the
mainland, and the sea fortress of Svartholma
on a nearby island.

After a day in Loviisa you can head on to
Porvoo and Haikko Manor. The known history
of the Manor goes back to 1362. The
present manor house was built in the beginning
of the 20th century. The spa offers a wide
selection of services catering to your beauty,
relaxation and health needs. You can enjoy
your King’s Road dinner in the old town
of Porvoo in 18th century surroundings at the
restaurant Wanha Laamanni.
