About the Kruunuvuorenranta – Meritullintori crossing
Across the eastern bay from the new Laajasalo district into the city, about 20 minutes, with roughly 20 sailings a day at around 50-minute intervals. First departure 07.15, last 21.25.
A service with an expiry date
This ferry exists because the Kruunusillat bridges are not finished. By Helsinki city council decision it runs only until they are, with demand reviewed as it goes — a temporary link for a district still being built. It opened on May Day.
Fuel, access and bicycles
The vessels burn renewable HVO diesel. Bicycles travel free when space allows. The Meritullintori end is step-free; the temporary pier at Kruunuvuorenranta is not fully accessible and staff help passengers aboard.
Tickets
An HSL ticket covering zones A and B is required. There is no ticket sale on the ferry or at either pier, so buy in advance with an HSL card or the app. Winter service starts in early November, weekdays only, with weekend hours reduced to roughly 10.00–18.00.
Vehicles, pets & onboard
- Covered by standard HSL tickets alongside tram, bus and metro
- Year-round service through Baltic winters
Onboard facilities and vehicle, pet and luggage policies vary by operator and vessel; confirm details with the operator before booking.
