Today, May 14, Tallinn’s Old City Harbour is in a special mood – five cruise ships will visit the port at the same time, bringing over 8,000 cruise tourists to discover our capital. This is a record day for the 2025 cruise season.
The following ships will arrive in Tallinn today:
Britannia – The flagship ship of British cruise company P&O Cruises can accommodate over 3,600 passengers and is known for its family-friendly service and modern entertainment options.
Mein Schiff 7 – TUI Cruises’ newest and most environmentally friendly ship, which will start using green methanol as fuel in the coming years. Mein Schiff 7 will stay overnight in Tallinn, allowing passengers to enjoy the city on late-night excursions.
AIDAdiva – the popular ship of the German cruise company AIDA Cruises is already a familiar guest in Tallinn waters and stands out for its lively atmosphere and numerous leisure activities.
Viking Jupiter – Viking Cruises’ luxury cruise ship, which brings mainly Nordic and American tourists to Tallinn. The ship offers an exclusive, adult-oriented experience.
Clio – a small and exclusive cruise ship often visited by conscious travelers. Clio stops in Tallinn for two days, giving guests more time to explore the city and its culture.
Walking, cycling and bus tours by the tourism companies Estonian Holidays, Deneesti and DMC Nordic Estonia take cruise guests to different areas of Tallinn – Kadriorg, the Old Town, Pirita, Kalamaja, the Airport, as well as outside Tallinn.
For the Port of Tallinn, today is also logistically important because a nationwide safety awareness test is being conducted in Estonia at the same time. The Port of Tallinn is working with cruise companies and local authorities to ensure that the information related to the test – as well as the knowledge that this is not a real threat – reaches all guests clearly. Our goal is for all passengers to feel safe and welcome in the capital.
Cruise companies estimate that the popularity of the Baltic Sea region is on the rise. While a few years ago many travelers were hesitant about visiting the region, interest has now returned and is growing. Ship occupancy is close to its maximum and passenger feedback is better than before the crisis. The Baltic Sea region and, more broadly, Northern Europe is emerging as one of the fastest-growing cruise tourism destinations in the world.
Tallinn’s cruise season began in April and will last until mid-October this year. In addition, a winter cruise is expected again in December, bringing visitors interested in the Christmas spirit to the city. Cruise ship visit information https://www.ts.ee/en/cruise-schedules/
