Route questions
Boarding opens in the afternoon before departure from Turku. Check in at the quay with your passport, then the cabin is ready within an hour. The exact window is confirmed in your booking documents.
No. Excursions are booked separately, on board or before departure, so you can decide port by port. Every shore day also works without an excursion, and the host can suggest a walking route.
Yes, when weather or ice requires it. The captain decides with the local harbour authorities, and any change is announced on board as early as possible. Substituted calls are chosen from the same island group.
