Experience the unique Åland Islands
The Åland Islands is an autonomous, demilitarised, monolingually Swedish-speaking region of Finland that consists of an archipelago lying at the entrance to the Gulf of Bothnia in the Baltic Sea. Åland has nearly 6,700 named skerries and islands, 60 of which have permanent residents. Rugged skerries, smooth rocky shores and glistening waters enchant visitors over and over again.
With Finnlines, you can depart either from Naantali or Kapellskär and travel to the harbour of Långnäs east of Mariehamn year round.
