NORTHERN TOUR - FERRY FROM STOCKHOLM TO HELSINKI

Here is a map of the whole tour and how it started.


I never thought that you can cover a lot of territory in Scandinavia without ever checking into a hotel.

Our bus took us on the Viking Line a real luxurious ferry  which connects the capitals of Sweden and Finland. It had restaurants, with a variety of meals, reasonable cabins, plenty of entertainment (discos, saunas, gambling), and enough duty-free goodies to sink a ship !

We had to take just an overnight bag on the ferry our suitcases remained in the bus, because our 2 person cabin was small but comfortable with a bathroom. It was just wonderful. When I lay in my bed I thought I would be in a craddle and be rocked softly to sleep. Otherwise I didn't realize that I was on a ship !





It was real huge looked like a cruise ship !



The check in was like for an airplane.



And then I discovered our cabin ! The bed was very comfortable !

We left our overnight bags in the cabin and started to discover the ship



Bar and gambling room and a space for children to play.



On the upper deck was a nice bar where you could drink and have a snack



I walked around until the very top,







and had the best views on the surroundings of Stockholm






I even could see the Tivoli amusement park



Then we sat here and had a drink







It was just wonderful

After supper some of our group went for karaoke and dancing, but we were tired and went to bed.

The next morning after breakfast we were already in Helsinki
