Cruiseferries are common in the Baltic sea. The expansion of the European Union has limited the growth of the industry as duty-free sales on European routes are no longer possible. However, as the Åland Islands are outside the EU customs zone, duty free sales are still possible on routes stopping in Mariehamn.
