Welcome to the Captains Cruise 2026
Our brainstorming and networking cruise on Tallink Silja Line’s cruise ship Silja Serenade 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.
Business insights and sessions will commence upon departure from Helsinki and continue throughout the day on our return journey from Stockholm to Helsinki. 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!
