Future
The Finlandia will soon undergo another renovation.[3]
This includes a new battery, new seating area in Easter 2026 (Called Horizon Seats), Buffet Eckerö serving lines, Bistro and Cafeteria Satama will also get approx. 150 new seats.
Along with this renovation M/S Finlandia will be the first partially electrified ship on the Baltic Sea, since Eckerö is taking more steps to become a fully electric and sustainable shipping company. [3]
