Finnlines received the prestigious award of Transport Company of the Year at the Finnish Travel Gala 2024 in November. Nearly 13,500 consumers and travel industry professionals voted for winners in each of the 12 categories.

Marco Palmu, Head of Finnlines Passenger Services, attended the Gala and thanked his team members and partners for their skills, hard work and collective efforts.

Finnlines was also one of the top three nominees for the Marketing Campaign of the Year for its fully serious “Let’s Get Sirius!” campaign.

An increasing number of passengers have responded to the invitation, “we take your comfort seriously”, and tested how Finnlines fulfils its promise. In January–September 2024, the number of passengers on Finnlines’ route between Finland and Sweden went up by over 120 per cent compared with the same period in 2023.

The Finnish Travel Gala is organized by SMAL (the Association of Finnish Travel Industry), which is a consortium of about 160 travel agencies, tours operators and incoming agencies.
