Finnlines' investments in the onboard experience and the expanded route network contributed to a 9 percent increase in the number of passengers in 2025.
Finnlines welcomed over one million passengers in 2025. This is an important milestone for the shipping company and clear evidence of the strong demand for the shipping company's shipping services in the Baltic Sea.
\u2013 I am very pleased that we have now passed one million passengers. It is a big step for Finnlines and a result of the strong commitment of our employees and the continued trust of our passengers, says Marco Palmu, Finnlines' Passenger Director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The total number of passengers, including professional drivers and private travelers, amounted to 1,021,000, which is an increase of 9 percent compared to 2024. The number of private travelers rose by over 13 percent.
The strongest growth was noted among Polish passengers on the Sweden\u2013Poland route, which can partly be explained by the fact that the route was launched in 2024. The second largest increase was seen among Finnish passengers on the Sweden\u2013Finland route. Passenger numbers also increased on Finnlines' routes between Sweden and Germany and between Finland and Germany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The growth in passenger numbers reflects changing travel habits, with sea travel increasingly seen as an attractive alternative for travel to Europe. Finnlines offers a complete solution with combined freight and passenger traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2026, Finnlines continues to strengthen its position as a convenient way to travel between the Nordic region and Continental Europe.
\u2013 We want to reach even more travelers with our route network and our service concept, which combines freight and passengers, while continuing to promote more responsible travel, says Marco Palmu.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
