Viking Line’s service on the Baltic Sea as of April 2, 2020 – Silvija Travel Tips

Due to the COVID-19 coronavirus, Viking Line will continue to keep service on the Baltic Sea at a reduced level. Four of the Company’s seven vessels will sail primarily with cargo between Finland and Sweden, the Åland Islands and Estonia to ensure the security of supply. Passenger traffic has virtually come to a standstill following the authorities’ restrictions. 

Demand for cargo transport remains high. Viking Line continues to transport goods between Finland, Sweden, Åland and Estonia with four vessels to ensure the security of supply.

“It is important to maintain vital social functions during these exceptional circumstances, and Viking Line is doing so by providing cargo service between these countries,” says Jan Hanses, President and CEO of Viking Line.
