Ship's Location
in Cruise Port:
Estonia has 1,502 islands and islets, representing 9% of Estonia's land mass. Saare County comprises only 6.5% of the area of Estonia, but Saaremaa and neighboring Muhumaa are considered large islands in an Estonian context.
Many foreigners who visit Saaremaa are genuinely surprised by the island's diverse nature, fascinating history and pleasantly relaxed atmosphere. Locals and tourists alike love Saaremaa as an interesting and good recreational destination with fascinating natural attractions and lots of sights to see.
Saaremaa has preserved its originality largely due to its location and isolation. Traditional villages still have buildings with thatched roofs and stone walls, and beautiful national costumes are still worn and the local dialect been preserved.
In 1990, the islands of western Estonia were designated a UNESCO biosphere conservation area.
