Aurora Botnia

COMPLETED 2021

Designed as the world’s most environmentally friendly passenger ferry, Aurora Botnia will operate on the historic Baltic sea route from the Swedish city of Umeå to Vaasa in Finland. The newly built €120m vessel accommodates 800 passengers and began operating in August 2021.

Kudos was responsible for interior design of all the public areas within the new vessel, including the restaurants and bars, corridors and reception areas, guest cabins, retail and leisure areas.

Design Concept

Our team has strong roots in the Botnia region and this project was close to our hearts. The design direction had to be genuine and uncomplicated just like the region. Where every aspect of the interior was clear and self-explanatory and also where it created an uplifting and memorable experience for the passengers.

The interior design concept is modern, fresh and makes use of natural colours. Where aspects of the interior are reflections of the landscapes and history of the region. Inspired by the wide open fields, traditional local crafts, modern-day greenhouses and windswept islands of the botnia archipelago.
