Kristina Cruises Oy Ltd – A Finnish cruise tour operator

The cruises organised by Kristina Cruises have had a strong regular following right from the start. The high­class services, originally produced by an all-Finnish staff, along with interesting destinations made the small domestic shipping company quite near and dear for many a Finnish traveller.

Kristina Cruises continued to expand, and in the early 2010 as a new ship was acquired. lt underwent major renovations and was thus modelled to match the needs and preferences of Finnish cruise passengers. With the new vessel, the company focused on international waters – warmer climates in winter, ali the way to the Caribbean, and up north in summer. After a few years, a strong need to reinvent the operations arose, and consequently the company relinquis­hed its shipping company business to become a cruise tour operator in the Finnish market.

Today, Kristina Cruises is a leading Finnish tour operator for holiday cruises. The family business, principally owned by siblings Mikko Partanen and Anu Markkanen, offers its customers a diverse selection of holiday cruises. A nine-person team works at the Kotka office to provide the best possible holiday experience for customers, and the same number of people travel the world together with our customers in the role of tour guides.

The trips are always produced for a group with a minimum size of 20 persons.
