Route guide

Plan your ferry from Umeå to Vaasa

The Umeå to Vaasa crossing links Umeå in Sweden with Vaasa in Finland. This route is part of the Gulf of Bothnia / Finland–Sweden ferry network.

For a departure from Umeå, start by locating the ferry terminal and checking how to reach the correct boarding point. The Swedish ferry terminal serves the Umeå area and provides onward road access along the E4 and into northern Sweden. Check the terminal transfer arrangements if travelling without a vehicle.

On the other side of the crossing, Vaasa is your arrival port. Vaasa’s centre is walkable, while Vaskiluoto and the wider Kvarken region are easiest to reach by local transport, bicycle or car.

Compare the Umeå departure and Vaasa arrival on the same dated itinerary. Sailing times and intermediate calls can differ between directions, so use the Umeå to Vaasa 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 Vaasa may affect your next connection or accommodation, so compare the whole journey as well as the fare.
