CAPTAINS CRUISE 2025
27th-29th August Helsinki-Stockholm-Helsinki
Registration now open!
The CaptainsCruise sets sail once more from 27th - 29th August 2025 from Helsinki to Stockholm and back, on board Tallink Silja Symphony.
Our brainstorming and networking cruise brings together Captains of the tourism Industry from across the Nordic and Baltic region together with leading European buyers, to inform, brainstorm, discuss and build lasting relationships.

The objective of the cruise is to encourage high-level discussion on key issues in an intimate yet informal networking environment, to formulate Nordic tourism strategies and to build long lasting tourism relationships with Nordic suppliers and buyers in the region.
Outline Itinerary 2025
We will be sailing from Helsinki to Stockholm on the evening of the 27th August returning to Helsinki on the morning of 29th August. This way everyone can gather on the ship upon arrival and spend the first evening relaxing and getting to know each other. The full day business insights and sessions (details tba) will take place throughout the day on our return journey from STO-HEL on the 28th August. This will give us much more time for networking, for our market updates, for some additional inspiring (and controversial) discussions and enable more relationship and partnership building with suppliers, buyers and partners alike!
