This verification, which covers all seven Viking Line vessels and operations in six terminals, affirms the company’s capability to manage and prevent infection risks, including Covid-19.
As a result of the Finnish government’s decision on May 4, 2020 to gradually ease some of the restrictions related to the coronavirus, starting May 14 Viking Line will open up passenger service again for essential traffic (travel for work…)
Four of Viking Line’s seven vessels will continue their service between Finland and Sweden, the Åland Islands and Estonia. People will be able to continue travelling as usual between the Finnish mainland and Åland. The new regulations enter into effect on May 14, 2020.

Service between Helsinki and Stockholm will be suspended until at least May 31, 2020.

Climeon has developed a new steam turbine solution tailored for Viking Line’s new ship VIKING GLORY. The two steam turbines have now passed a Factory Acceptance Test with Viking Line and the certification body DNV-GL present. The steam turbines will be delivered to the ship over the upcoming months.
In a pilot project onboard MARIELLA, Viking Line has managed to reduce the amount of food waste by an estimated 27 tonnes in four months.
The food saved corresponds to almost 70,000 servings.
Food waste has been weighed and the data have been recorded.
“Now we have managed to reduce food waste per passenger by an average of 40 percent,” says Viking Line’s restaurant manager Janne Lindholm. “Savings have been made in particular by streamlining the work in the kitchen. We had a greater attention to the prepared quantities prepared. For example, in the buffet restaurant, passengers are served ready-made portions.”
The remaining waste is used for biogas production. With the help of bio-waste
from three ferries, we made biogas, the equivalent of 111,300 liters of MDO.
