Kristina Cruises (previously Rannikkolinjat) is a Finnish family-owned shipping company with over fifty years of experience in cruise business. The company was founded in 1985 and registered in Kotka.

Kristina Cruises was founded in 1985. The company was registered in Kotka. In the same year the company acquired the possession of its first passenger vessel Kristina Brahe from Fagerlines Ltd., which had operated the vessel mostly in the Lake Saimaa area. Being the new owner Kristina Cruises had a good possibility to continue the cruise operations that were started during the previous ownership. In the first year we arranged cruises to Vyborg from Helsinki, Kotka and Lappeenranta. In the summer we sailed on Lake Saimaa and made some cruises to Leningrad and Tallinn. Evening cruises off Helsinki shore were an important part of our itineraries during the spring and autumn seasons.
