Helsinki port was founded in 1550 as a port town to compete for Baltic Sea transport and is now one of the key ferry ports in the region. Helsinki ferry port is the busiest passenger port in Finland with connections to numerous countries including Sweden, Estonia, Poland, Russia and Germany. Unsurprisingly for a port of its size, Helsinki has numerous ferry terminals - West Terminal for departures to Estonia and Russia, Olympia for Sweden, Katajanokka and Makasiini for Estonia and Hansa terminal for crossings to Germany and Poland.
Travemünde is a borough of Lübeck located at the mouth of river Trave into Lübeck Bay. Travemünde arose out of a stronghold placed here by Henry the Lion, Duke of Saxony, in the 12th century to guard the mouth of the Trave, and the Danes subsequently strengthened it. It became a town in 1317 and in 1329 passed into the possession of the free city of Lübeck, to which it has since belonged. Its fortifications were demolished in 1807. Travemünde is an old seaside resort (since 1802) and Germany's largest ferry port on the Baltic Sea with destinations to Sweden, Finland and other baltic countries. Annually, some 1 million passengers pass through the Travemünde Skandinavienkai ferry terminal as the starting point or destination of their trip across the Baltic Sea. The terminal is also the contact point for a number of impressive cruise ships from all over the world.
