Evrima is scheduled to make its first call at the Port of Turku on July 24, bringing The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection to the Finnish port for a seven hour visit. The current port table lists a 10:00 arrival and 17:00 departure, with the asterisk beside the ship confirming that this is a first visit.
The call is the second day of a seven night Baltic itinerary that begins in Stockholm on July 23 and ends in Copenhagen. For guests, the practical value is unusually specific: Turku says it will provide a free shuttle between the pier and city center, staffed tourist information at the pier and Wi-Fi, while also warning that ship times remain subject to change.
- First Turku call: The port marks Evrima’s July 24 visit with an asterisk that denotes a vessel’s first visit.
- Published window: The current cruise call table shows 10:00 to 17:00, a seven hour port day.
- Port service: Turku advertises free shuttles between the pier and city center, staffed tourist information and pier Wi-Fi for international cruise calls.
- Ship scale: Evrima measures 190 meters and carries up to 298 guests in 149 suites.
- Verification rule: The port says times can vary and directs visitors to its live ship list nearer the date.
Turku now lists Evrima for July 24
The Port of Turku’s current cruise call table identifies Evrima as a first time visitor and names The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection as the operator. It lists the yacht between Azamara Journey’s July 17 visit and the port’s historical call records, making the ship and date unambiguous.
The port also carries the call in its live arrivals system, which currently shows Evrima due at Linnanaukko at 10:00 on July 24 and departing at 17:00 for Tallinn. That operational listing is more useful than a general season announcement because it provides the expected berth area, direction of travel and a current seven hour window.
Even that live listing is not a guarantee. Turku labels its cruise schedule as subject to change and tells readers to check the ship list near the date, so passengers should keep the yacht’s onboard notice as their final authority for gangway time and the all aboard deadline.
The call belongs to a Stockholm to Copenhagen voyage
Travel Weekly’s current itinerary record independently places Turku on July 24, the day after the voyage leaves Stockholm. The schedule then continues through Helsinki, Tallinn, Warnemunde and Karlskrona before reaching Copenhagen, so Turku is a named itinerary stop rather than an isolated port forecast.
The order matters for trip planning. Guests beginning the voyage in Sweden have only one night aboard before the Turku call, which makes it sensible to review shore plans and meeting instructions before embarkation instead of waiting for a long sea day that does not exist between Stockholm and Finland.
Travelers adding time before the sailing can use Deep Arrival’s Stockholm cruise day guide to organize the departure city without confusing that planning with the Turku port day. The internal route is a natural fit because Stockholm is the embarkation point for this exact voyage.
Evrima brings a different scale to the port
The operator’s current ship description says Evrima measures 624 feet, or 190 meters, and has 149 suites for as many as 298 guests. The Port of Turku describes the vessel as an intimate yacht style product, a contrast with larger mainstream ships that can carry several thousand passengers.
That scale is part of the reader value behind the maiden call. Turku is positioning itself as an alternative Baltic destination with direct access to a compact city, while Evrima’s smaller guest count fits an itinerary built around less crowded calls and extended destination time rather than a high volume turnaround.
The call does not announce a permanent homeport, a new terminal or a recurring Turku deployment. It is one dated first visit inside the 2026 season, and the evidence supports that narrow milestone without implying that The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection has committed to a larger future program.
What the port says passengers will find
Turku’s international cruise page says free shuttle buses operate between the pier and city center throughout a call. It also lists a staffed tourist information point and pier Wi-Fi, details that matter because the yacht’s seven hour published stay must include clearance, disembarkation, the transfer and enough margin to return before departure.
The port’s season announcement highlights Turku Castle, Turku Cathedral and Aboa Vetus Ars Nova as prominent cultural stops. It also points to the Aura River waterfront, where museums, cafes and historic ships create a compact shore day without requiring a long transfer beyond the city.
Visit Finland’s Turku overview independently supports that compact geography, describing a walk along the Aura River between the cathedral and castle. That does not replace a booked excursion description, but it helps test the port’s claim that major visitor areas are accessible within a short call.
| Published detail | How to use it |
|---|---|
| 10:00 arrival | Treat this as the port estimate, not a promise that independent guests can step ashore at 10:00. |
| 17:00 departure | Follow Evrima’s onboard all aboard time, which should be earlier than the port departure. |
| Free city shuttle | Confirm the pier pickup point and last return with port staff before leaving the terminal area. |
| First visit marker | Expect a possible welcome activity, but do not build a shore plan around entertainment that the port describes only as possible. |
| Live ship list | Recheck close to July 24 because the port explicitly says times can vary. |
- For Evrima guests: Save the ship’s final gangway and all aboard notice and use the port schedule only as supporting context.
- For independent visitors: Build the shore day around the shuttle and central sights, with return margin for the 17:00 published departure.
- For booked excursions: Follow the meeting point and timing supplied by the yacht because a tour transfer may not use the public shuttle.
- For local observers: The first visit is currently scheduled, but the port does not promise a public ceremony or a fixed viewing event.
The useful takeaway is a confirmed, narrow milestone
The current evidence supports a specific conclusion as of July 17: Evrima is on Turku’s July 24 call table, the port marks it as a first visit and the independent itinerary matches the date. Exact ship imagery is available, so the story does not need a generic cruise vessel or an image that falsely suggests it was made in Finland.
What remains variable is operational timing. Weather, traffic, port control and itinerary adjustments can change an arrival, which is why Turku directs travelers to the live list and why the yacht’s own instructions remain decisive once guests are aboard.
For the port, the call adds a new luxury cruise brand to a deliberately small international season. For the traveler, it creates a seven hour Finnish stop with a defined city transfer, clear cultural options and a simple requirement: verify the final schedule before committing to a tightly timed independent plan.
