Mariehamn Port Ferry Overview
Mariehamn is the capital of Åland, an autonomous territory under Finnish sovereignty. Mariehamn is the seat of the Government and Parliament of Åland, and 40% of the population of Åland live in the city. Like all of Åland, Mariehamn is unilingually Swedish-speaking and around 88% of the inhabitants speak it as their native language.
The Western Harbour is an important international harbour with daily traffic to Sweden and mainland Finland. A powerful incentive for Baltic ferries to stop at Mariehamn is that, with respect to indirect taxation, Åland is not part of the EU customs zone and so duty-free goods can be sold aboard. Mariehamn Airport is located in the neighbouring municipality of Jomala, some 2 miles north-west of Mariehamn city centre.
Near Mariehamn ferry port passengers will find a good selection of shops and restaurants, with hotels also close at hand. Mariehamn ferry port provides facilities including a restaurant & bar, toilets & Wash Rooms and a taxi rank. Car parking facilities are available at the port. |
