Three Good Reasons to Travel with Finnlines

Reliable Schedule

Finnlines offers a consistent schedule with daily departures between Travemünde and Helsinki. This makes it possible to plan trips well in advance and carry them out reliably.

Strong Ties Through Freight Transport

The ships transport not only vacationers but also important goods between Germany and Finland. As a result, the connection remains particularly reliable and plays an important role in the movement of goods between Central Europe and Scandinavia.

Personalized Customer Service

If you have any questions before your trip or while planning it, customer service is available by phone and email. The staff at the port also assists travelers with check-in and ensures a smooth start to your journey.

Bar & Bistro Navigare Shines in a New Look

Passengers traveling with Finnlines this summer can also look forward to modernized lounge areas. The popular Navigare Bar & Bistro has been completely redesigned.

Warm wood tones, modern furniture, nautical details, and new lighting concepts create a cozy atmosphere in a classic Scandinavian style. New seating areas and additional quiet spaces make the crossing even more enjoyable.

The modernization is part of a comprehensive program to upgrade the passenger areas on the Finnstar, Finnlady, and Finnmaid. The lounge, café, and terrace areas have also already been renovated.

Finland is already getting started on board

Your trip to Finland doesn’t begin when you arrive in Helsinki. During the crossing, you can enjoy the relaxed atmosphere on board, visit the Finnish sauna, browse the onboard shop, or try out the restaurants and bars.

The Navigare Bar & Bistro offers snacks, cocktails, and Finnish specialties, among other things. These include, for example, katkarapuleipä (Finnish shrimp bread) and a refreshing lonkero, a long drink popular in Finland.

With a view of the Baltic Sea, the crossing itself becomes part of the vacation for many travelers.
