In 2026 Tallink Silja Line continues its popular special summer cruises to Visby and Riga

In the summer of 2026, Tallink Silja Line will operate as many as 11 special cruises. Eight of these will head to the ever-popular destination of Visby, while three will take passengers to Riga, the capital of Latvia. All the special summer cruises will be operated by the beautiful Victoria I ship.

"Today, we’re delighted to announce our next year’s special summer cruises to destinations that our customers love – Visby and Riga. This summer we organised an impressive 11 special cruises for the first time, and we will continue with the same number next year as these summer cruises have proven extremely popular among our customers,” said Marina Jõgi, Sales Director at Tallink Group.

"Our customers value the time spent with their loved ones and in recent years have started giving special summer cruises as Christmas gifts. That is why, for the second year in a row, we are opening ticket sales for our popular summer trips well in advance, several weeks before Christmas," said Jõgi.

"Also, we have extended the summer special cruise season – we will start at the end of June and finish at the beginning of August. This makes it even easier to fit a cruise into your vacation plans," added Marina Jõgi.
