First cruise ship visited Saaremaa harbour in 2020

Saaremaa harbour

Islands are a true treasure of Estonia. Saaremaa is the biggest amongst them. Located at the important seaways, Saaremaa has been familiar to seafarers from times immemorial. The islands off the coast are virtual dreamlands, unlike anything in Europe. Most romantic landscape dotted with windmills, thatched cottages and sleepy fishing villages. Although small, Saaremaa offers various pleasant possibilities to try something untried, something exciting and magical. Kuressaare Castle and Lake Kaali, dolomite and curative mud, reed thatches and stone fences, windmills and medieval churches, junipers and coastline meadows, local bread and home-brewed beer are the first things coming into mind. Saaremaa harbour is operated by Port of Tallinn. The harbour with the depth alongside the quay of 10 meters is capable of servicing ships with the length of up to 200 m. The natural depth of the harbour location is sufficient for receiving the biggest cruise ships sailing in the Baltic Se

Tallinn

Estonia is situated in Northern Europe, on the coast of the Baltic Sea, neighbouring Finland, Sweden, Latvia and Russia. Estonia is known above all for its beautiful capital of Tallinn. It’s no use hiding the fact: Tallinn is Northern Europe’s oldest capital city. Tallinn’s marvellous Old Town is inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list. The unique value of Tallinn’s Old Town lies first and foremost in the wellpreserved completeness of the medieval milieu and structure, something that has been lost in most other northern capitals. The web of winding cobblestone streets and properties, which date from the 11th to 15th centuries, are preserved nearly in its entirety. All the most important state and church buildings from the Middle Ages have been preserved in their basic original form, as well as many citizens’ and merchants’ residences, along with barns and warehouses from the medieval period.
