About Russia

Russia, the largest country in the world, is a sovereign state in northern Eurasia stretching across the entirety of northern Asia and most of Eastern Europe.

The European region in the west boasts ancient walled fortresses, majestic palaces, most notably in the capital, Moscow, with its famous Red Square and St Basil’s Cathedral. On the other hand, the more rural areas are dotted with attractive cottages and historical towns. Given the country’s sheer size, Russia offers ferry routes to a wide range of international destinations. From the west, you can sail to northern Europe and Scandinavia, whilst in the east, there are ferry routes provided to East Asia.

About Sweden

Sweden is a Scandinavian country in Northern Europe, sharing a lengthy western border with Norway and a shorter north-eastern border with Finland. One of the European leaders for quality of life, Sweden is a beautiful nation in all aspects. The diversity of magical landscapes is one of its greatest assets, stretching from the sparse and snow-filled north, inhabited by the indigenous Sami people, to the lake-speckled central region and the high-energy, fashion-inspired capital city of Stockholm in the south. A long Viking history has left its mark; ancient rune stones and huge burial mounds can be found throughout the country, all with their own fascinating story to tell, while the medieval cities and coastal castles add a further layer of mystery. Sailing to Sweden by ferry is a common choice for visitors, thanks to the huge number of routes from various countries in northern Europe and Scandinavia, all operated by a wide choice of excellent ferry companies.
