Cruise

Get away from everyday life and enjoy a relaxing day at sea!

Step aboard Aurora Botnia and enjoy a cruise between Vaasa and Umeå where relaxing experiences and the stunning Kvarken Archipelago scenery come together.

The journey is a treat in itself – and the ship’s restaurants make it truly special. Whether you choose the famous Archipelago Buffet, the laid-back Bistro Botnia with its seasonal flavors, or the cozy café serving homemade classics and snacks, the food at Wasaline is all about local ingredients, authenticity, and top quality.

Complete your journey with a drink from the bar’s wide selection, live music, a bit of shopping in our onboard shop, or a moment of peace in a lounge or private cabin.

And for the little ones? There’s always something fun going on in the kids’ room.

Travel alternatives

Depending on the day of the week, you can choose between two cruise options:

On the Day cruise, the ferry makes a short port stop before turning around for the return journey. Passengers do not have to disembark during port stop. The total duration of the cruise is 8 to 10 hours – just enough time to relax and enjoy the experience at sea.

On the Day cruise with a visit ashore, you’ll have plenty of time to explore the charming cities of Vaasa or Umeå and their surroundings. The cruise departs in the morning and returns in the evening – all in one unforgettable day.
