Ever Popular Accordion Cruise Now In May - Finland

postponedFinnish logoAs the Covid-19 situation has deteriorated sharply throughout Finland, the Accordion Cruise by Suomen Harmonikkaliitto (SHL - Finland Accordion Association) planned for the end of January 2022 for over 2,000 accordion enthusiasts, will be postponed to May 2022.

The SHL and Tallink jointly decided to postpone the cruise.

New Date: Mother's Day weekend, May 7th to 8th, 2022.

Organisers do not want to cancel the cruise. Currently the epidemic situation is difficult and therefore a postponement is necessary. It is not possible to be sure that the restrictions on gatherings and other things will end and that the corona passport will be valid in the coming weeks.

The SHL will contact all customers who have made a reservation and agree to transfer their reservations until May. If the customer wishes to cancel the cruise booking, the cruise fee will be refunded in full. The SHL apologizes for the inconvenience of the date change and welcomes everyone to the Accordion Cruise for the spring vibe of May.

The Finnish Accordion Association is a national music organization whose mission is to promote the hobby and status of accordion playing. Both individuals and associations are welcome to join, regardless of age or playing skills.
