RG Line is a Finnish shipping company founded in 2001 that operates a ferry line between Vaasa, Finland and Umeċ, Sweden.

The company was founded in 2001 by well known Rabbe Grönblom , just months after Silja Line had put their traffic on Kvarken to an end because of a decision in the EU to stop taxfree sales on travels between member states. RG Line bought Silja's M/S Fennia and renamed her to M/S Casino Express, the ship was put in traffic on the route Vaasa—Umeċ on 16 May, 2001. At first RG Line profiled the ship as a ship where you could have fun and party, much like the ferries who trafficed Kvarken in the taxfree times. However it did not become a success, people did not want to cruise anymore, the blackjack and roulette tables they had added to get a casino feeling were removed before a year had passed. Nowadays they are focused on ordinary travellers and cargo. The route over Kvarken is supported financially by the Finnish government.
