MS Finlandia is a cruiseferry owned and operated by the Finnish ferry operator Eckerö Line. The ship operates between Tallinn and Helsinki.

History

Finlandia was renovated at a drydock in Gdansk, Poland in early 2019.

Sister ships

The Finlandia is the second of three identical ships built by DSME and Fincantieri.[2] The other two ships are Moby Wonder and Moby Aki. Tallink’s Superstar is also considered a sister ship, but the two ships are not identical.

Future [1]

The Finlandia will soon undergo another renovation.[3]

This includes: A new battery (mentioned in the 2nd paragraph), New seating area in Easter 2026 (Called Horizon Seats), Buffet Eckerö serving lines, Bistro and Cafeteria Satama will also get approx. 150 new seats.

Along with this renovation M/S Finlandia will be the first partially electrified ship on the Baltic Sea, since Eckerö is taking more steps to become a fully electric and sustainable shipping company. [3]
