The Stockholm to Helsinki crossing links Stockholm in Sweden with Helsinki in Finland.
For a departure from Stockholm, start by locating the ferry terminal and checking how to reach the correct boarding point. Stockholm’s Baltic ferries use different terminals depending on operator. Tallink’s Stockholm services use Värtahamnen while Viking Line uses its own city-side terminal arrangements.
On the other side of the crossing, Helsinki is your arrival port. Helsinki has excellent trams, metro, buses and suburban rail, and many central attractions are close enough to combine on foot.
Compare the Stockholm departure and Helsinki arrival on the same dated itinerary. Sailing times and intermediate calls can differ between directions, so use the Stockholm to Helsinki result when planning your trip rather than assuming the outward timetable applies in reverse.
Check the total cost for everyone travelling, including any vehicle, reserved seat, cabin or other option offered. A later arrival in Helsinki may affect your next connection or accommodation, so compare the whole journey as well as the fare.
