    Please note: on the final morning, when the ship arrives back at the original departure port, you must vacate the cabin immediately upon arrival.

  • Are there power sockets in the cabins?

    Yes, all cabins are equipped with power sockets. However, the location of the sockets—especially near sleeping areas—varies by ship and cabin type:

    • Baltic Queen: Available in Suite and Executive cabins. Other cabin types can request an extension cord free of charge from the Information desk.

    • Megastar: Conveniently placed sockets in all cabin types.

    If access to a socket near your bed is important (e.g., for charging or medical devices), we recommend requesting an extension cord early from the Information desk, as availability is limited.

  • What is the voltage in the cabin sockets?

    The voltage in all cabin sockets is 230 V, which is the standard in Finland, Sweden, and Estonia. If you're travelling from a country with a different voltage or plug type, don’t forget to bring an adapter.
