Cruise Baltic welcomes a small Swedish gem to the network

Cruise Baltic kicks off 2025 by welcoming Härnösand to the Cruise Baltic family, now adding to the total of 31 partner ports and destinations in the Baltic Sea region, offering a mix of capitals, big cities, and small towns. 

The small destination Härnösand is located on an island in the southern part of the Swedish High Coast's archipelago, making it the northernmost member of Cruise Baltic. With the saying "The gate to the High Coast," Härnösand delivers world heritage landscapes just a few miles north of the town. 

The quay in the port is 300 metres, and Härnösand Port accommodates a maximum vessel draft of 7,5 metres. Härnösand's harbour is one of the best on the Norrland coast in winter, as it is ice-free for a long time, thanks to the short, straight fairway and favourable currents from the river.

Härnösand offers a wide range of outdoor activities, with Hemsö Fort standing out as a highlight. This former top-secret facility, once accessible only to a select few, is now a must-visit attraction. The town is also home to Murbergets Friluftsmuseum, Sweden's second-largest open-air museum, where visitors can experience a vibrant blend of musicians, dancers, artists, and historical artefacts.

Cruise Baltic was founded in 2004 and is a B2B network of 31 cruise ports in the Baltic Sea region aiming to promote the region towards cruise lines and travel agents. The network offers all cruise lines easy access, great service, high standards, and full integration between ports and cities throughout the region.
