Eleven departures confirmed – including Visby and Riga favourites

Tallink Silja Line will once again operate its popular Summer Special Cruises in 2026. A total of eleven departures are scheduled: eight sailings to Visby and three to Riga, all operated by the Victoria I.

Strong demand secures continuation of the concept

After a highly successful 2025 season, Tallink Silja Line is keeping the concept unchanged. “Our customers truly enjoy these short summer getaways – especially to Visby and Riga,” says Marina Jõgi, Sales Director at Tallink Grupp. “Because many travellers now book these cruises as Christmas gifts, we are opening sales early again this year.”

Early booking & extended season

With the growing trend of gifting summer cruises during the holidays, Tallink Silja Line launches ticket sales well before Christmas. For 2026, the special cruise season will run from mid-June to early August, making it even easier to match the trips with summer vacation plans.
