Olympia Terminal, Passenger ship terminal in Kaivopuisto district, Helsinki, Finland.
Olympia Terminal is a passenger ship facility in the South Harbour of Helsinki that handles maritime transport to Sweden. The complex includes check-in areas, waiting spaces, and direct access bridges to the departing vessels.
The facility opened in 1952 as part of Helsinki's Olympic Games infrastructure preparations. This marked the beginning of regular maritime passenger services connecting the two Nordic capitals.
The terminal serves as a meeting point where travelers from different countries come together before crossing the Baltic Sea. Inside, the departure halls fill with a mix of international visitors preparing for their Nordic journey.
The terminal is accessible by tram lines 2 and 3 and sits close to central Helsinki. Travelers should arrive with plenty of time before departure to complete security checks and boarding procedures.
The terminal connects Helsinki's harbour to Stockholm daily using large cruise ferries that serve as both transport and floating hotels. These ships offer restaurants, bars, and entertainment throughout the voyage across the Baltic Sea.
