Annual report 2025
The year 2025 remained an economically challenging one for Finland. The turn towards growth that was anticipated during the year did not materialise nor did the economic indicators swing in a positive direction at any point. The year 2025 was good for the Port of Turku, however, despite the general development. The port company’s finances remained strong, operational activities continued to be stable and investments in the port’s future proceeded as planned.

Trade and seafaring – Port of Turku 860 years
Turku was known as a lively trading post as early as the Iron Age, when Baltic, Swedish and Novgorodian merchant ships sailed to the banks of the River Aura to trade goods. Turku became one of the key ports in the Baltic Sea in the 13th century when the cogs of Hanseatic traders dominated the view in the river harbour.
Cruise destination Turku (made in cooperation with Visit Turku)
Turku, a pearl of the Baltic, is Finland’s number one summer destination. Bisecting Turku city centre, the river Aura flows through the most beautiful cityscape; past great restaurants, cafes bursting with atmosphere, perceptive works of city art as well as fascinating museums.
Turku is a particularly fitting cruise destination – it is, after all, the place where the world’s largest cruise ships are built.
Turku Cruise Port
The Port of Turku is Finland’s gateway to Scandinavia. It is in a sheltered location on the southwestern coast, where the river Aura meets Turku archipelago sea. Arriving in Turku through the spectacular archipelago with around 20,000 islands is an unforgettable experience.
