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.
