Finland is a well-functioning and reliable cruise destination in the northern Baltic Sea. Our compact port cities, accessible nature and clearly defined seasons support flexible and varied itinerary planning. Finland is one of the few European destinations with four distinct seasons. Summer is characterised by long daylight hours and mild temperatures, autumn by the natural colours of ruska, winter by snow-covered landscapes, and spring by increasing daylight and everything and everyone coming alive again.

Finland’s port cities are compact and easy to manage, supporting efficient guest flows and smooth turnaround times. Despite their size, the cities offer a wide range of cultural, culinary and nature-based experiences within close proximity to the port. Finland is known for its safety, accessibility and well-functioning infrastructure, providing cruise lines with a reliable operating environment and guests with a relaxed, high-quality experience.
