Felt like I had embarked on a luxury cruise not a ferry trip. Accommodation was very well presented though the inside cabin was a little claustrophobic! Plenty of options for dinner, free wifi and a variety of entertainment to while away the 14 hour trip. Breakfast was amazing as well as the scenery as you cruised into Stockholm. Highly recommend...

Cheap way to visit Stockholm. 24 hour trip gets you a cabin to sleep in. Cheaper cabins don't have a porthole but you really don't need one. 8 hours in Stockholm. Very good buffet dinner with drinks in the price( wine, beer,soft drinks) at about 30E per it is really good deal especially if you book a place when booking... More

This was my husband and my first trip to Helsinki and the Viking Lines and I wasn't sure what to expect on board the Gabriella. It ended up being either a nice ferry trip or a very poor cruise. We stayed in one of the interior double stateroom and it was nothing special except for a nonfunctional hair dryer. When... More

Some what of an average trip. I was book on level 6 but they put me towards the rear of the ship. The vibration and noise was terrible. I settled to be moved to level 5 and somewhere in the middle however the vibration was only slightly less. Food is good specifically in the food garden. The day in Helsinki... More

Traveled several times to Stockholm and Tallinn, winter and summer. The most spectacular trip I ever had was between Turku and Stockholm. The ship slides slowly between the beautiful archipelago islands. First time, on a light, even sunny night in June, I was sitting next to the windows the whole night and watching the smaller and bigger islands to pass... More

Everytime we have a chance to take the cruise, we will do it! Its the best way to escape from a hard busy day with work just to enjoy with family on weekend. Valuable for your money, from the charter bus, activities on cruise, eating.. all worth it! Better take the cruise on summer or when its not windy season.... More

The cheapest way to spend a night in Helsinki is to take the night boat to Tallinn and to sleep on board. Next morning it is back in Helsinki. Last week I did that and it cost 10 Euros for 2 people including the cabin. Dinner was 27 Euros per person (including wine and beer), so you really can not... More

I took this ferry a few times from Stockholm to Turku. Its a crazy time on the weekends with gambling and drinking and party people everywhere. During the week it was a bit quieter but still fun and entertaining for a ferry. The sleeping cabins were nice and comfortable. More
