You can go from Stockholm to Helsinki or Helsinki to Stockholm, it goes both ways! It´s also a common thing for Swedes to go on these cruises aswell,
18h is so you can have a partynight and sleep before arrive’n. They can do it in a third of the time, but simply wont.
This ship, and its sister ship are what made that promenade design the standard on all future cruise ships basically.
The two strongest band that keep Sweden and Finland linked is 600 years of shared history and those ferries.
It's quite affordable, even students can go on them. If you get the cheapest ticket in a bunkbed cabin for 4 people with no windows, you can pay like 30 Euros per head.
Ferrys betveen Finland and Sweden! Helsinki - Stockholm ~ 17 h. Turku - Stockholm ~ 11 h. Vaasa - Umeå ~ 4 h. Tallink silja, Viking Line and Wasaline!
Well, the prices differ based on what kind of trip (a cruise going back and forth is cheaper), what day of the week you travel (weekends are more expensive) and the type of cabin you want. Usually you can get a cabin for two persons for around 60 euros, but the kind of cabin showed here will be in the 150-200 euro range. Travelling on the Turku-Stockholm line is generally a little cheaper than Helsinki-Stockholm. You should also consider what is more important: the Turku route goes through the beautiful archipelago and takes only about 10 hours. You will have the opportunity to enjoy the sunset with fantastic scenery. However, personally I find the Helsinki route nicer (you have more time on board to enjoy the services and at least I find it more relaxing). The Helsinki-Stockholm route will for the most part be in open water and only really offers archipelago views near Stockholm. There are two major shipping companies that have more or less daily connections, the one showed in this video (Tallink Silja) and then Viking Line. Both are decent options.
I went from Stockholm to Helsinki as a 12 year old with my parents. As I remember it I think it took 4 hours just getting out of the Stockholm archipelago. (was a long time ago now) And obviously we were not there to party. It was a nice way to visit Helsinki. We stayed in Helsinki for a couple of days.
You have to have time to enjoy the cruise, do the shopping, eat, party and so on. Also the ship might stop in Åland Islands. You can also go on a cruise from Turku and cruise also to Tallinn. Ticket prices vary, mostly by level the cabin is on. Some of the world's biggest cruise ships have been built in Turku, including the biggest at the moment, Icon of the Seas, and the concept for those ships originates to these "party ferries".
Was actually just 2 days ago on a similar Turku-Stockholm-Turku cruise. Family of 4 with 2 meals in the buffet in a sea-view cabin for about 450€
I have been on that cruise about 90 times. Usually 2-3 times at least every year, sometimes 5-6 times. I been more times to Stockholm than I have been to the nearest town from where I live. 😂
We dont have a booze cruise. We have multiple. 😀 Silja line and Viking line. We had a third, Birka but they went out of business. 😞 BUT, Destination Gotland has bought the ship and from spring 2024 they will start cruising Stockholm-Mariehamn-Visby. New booze cruise!
The price very much depends on what kind of cabin you stay in. If you settle with "ordinary cabin", the cost of the cruise is between 50 and 120€. So the price is for Helsinki9 - Stockholm and back. Then the buffet is 49€ aboutish including wine and beer
The buffet also includes infinite amount of beer and wine (white and red), from a tap, which you can fill when ever you want to, so let that sink in...
Yeah the cruises are a very cultural thing in Sweden and Finland. There is two types, the 42h and the 21h cruise. On the 42h you get about 7-8h in land (Stockholm, Helsinki or Tallin) then you go back the day after. The 21h cruise is much more of a party cruise.
If you wanna go to "party cruise" then it's Turku - Mariehamn - Stockholm. There's a morning and evening cruises. Ferry that leaves in the evening around at
First of all, this is only the one that goes Helsinki-Stockholm and back, the longest route out of all the ferries between Sweden and Finland, if you go to Turku instead, you cut about 6 hours off that time because the distance is much shorter
You can get the ferry from Turku to Stockholm, I think it should be a bit cheaper, and also a bit faster, if you go from Turku-Stockholm-Turku it's 23hrs so I think from Turku to Stockholm is 12hrs. Last time I went the price of the cabin was like 25€ or something like that. It might be more expensive now haven't been for a few years
Or Stockholm to Turku, who cares it's PAAAARTY. 2 companies operate between those cities. From Turku to Stockholm 2 departures per day.
Many years ago (early 2000) I went to visit my bestie who was finnish. She was studying in Sweden at the time so it was very convenient 😉. When I came to her flat, she said "I have a surprise for you, we are going on the ferry to helsinki. That was my first time in H. It was organised buses to stockholm. These ferry cruises are a huge thing and a very poular w/end thing to do.
