Each journey provides capacity for up to 400 cars and 1,860 passengers on Stella Lines' ferry, Julia.
Vice-governor of St Petersburg Igor Molchanov told television broadcaster Mir that arriving by ferry offers a simpler process than driving between the cities.
This is due to the complexities of driving through customs when on the road, the St Petersburg Times reports him as saying.

International guests and Finnish performers feature in the event, which is accompanied by a programme of workshops and exhibitions.
