CROWD-TACTICALOn a busy day, sequence the day against the crowds: Rock Church first thing, then the ferry to Suomenlinna while the tour groups are still in the old town, saving Market Square and the Esplanadi for the late afternoon.
If the queues at the square look long, detour to the Design District or the Old Market Hall instead of queueing — both absorb crowds far better.
Why is this crowded?
1 ship is scheduled today, representing approximately 3,250 passengers of combined capacity.
Compared with other cruise days: Well above average for this port.
