Tallink Grupp’s Turku-Kapellskär route vessel Baltic Princess will go on dry-dock in Naantali, Finland on Turku Repair Dockyard during 6.-19.3.2023, according to the company's release.
During the dockings many technical upgrades and underwater hull works will be carried out, including maintenance of the vessel’s bow thrusters and also the installation of ballast water treatment plant and commissioning.
In addition to the technical works, some of the vessel’s passenger areas will be refreshed; carpets will be renewed, and furniture will be coated. The curtains in the cabins will also be renewed. In addition, 750 mattresses will be replaced, and all cabins will be thoroughly cleaned.

There will be no replacing vessel on the route for that period. The Galaxy, which operated on the Turku-Stockholm route, has been leased to Holland for accommodation since September.
