Unveiling MS Birka Gotland’s Exciting 2026 Baltic Cruise Itinerary and Destinations
In February 2026, the cruise operator Gotland Alandia Cruises announced the release of tickets for the 2026 season of the MS Birka Gotland, the only cruise ship specifically designed for the Baltic Sea. This vessel primarily connects Stockholm with Mariehamn/Aland and Visby, broadening its itinerary to include several new destinations such as the High Coast of Sweden, Bornholm, and Riga.
Notably, the schedule introduces two late-summer departures to Gdansk, Poland, on August 30 and September 13, 2026. During the Gdansk port stay, passengers can partake in various excursions, which will include visits to the Hanseatic port and the seaside resort of Sopot, learning about local amber craftsmanship, and enjoying regional delicacies.
The changes to the 2026 sailing season were influenced by the favorable feedback received from an extended Visby season in 2025. Consequently, from spring to early autumn, sailings will continue, along with an itinerary tailored to families, reflecting an increase in family travel observed in recent years. The full suite of destination cruises and excursion options, including the new Gdansk sailings, is now available for booking.
