Finland’s Bold Presence at Seatrade Europe 2025

Cruise Tourism with Purpose

Throughout the three-day event, the impact of cruise tourism was explored from multiple angles:

  • Infrastructure development
  • Environmental sustainability
  • Community engagement
  • Decarbonization initiatives
  • And of course, the guest experience

The industry is clearly shifting toward more responsible and inclusive growth, and Finland is proud to be part of that journey.
