Travelling by ferry is one of our favourite modes of transport when looking for an instant getaway. Fortunately, many ferry companies in Finland operate cruises to neighbouring destinations like Estonia, Sweden and Latvia. This article highlights our cruising experiences on Tallink's Baltic Princess.
We made a quick getaway to Stockholm, our neighbouring capital. Because the journey was a day in Stockholm cruise, we had time only for a delicious lunch and for one attraction after that. We decided to try Stockholm SkyView next to Avicii Arena. The arena itself is famous for hosting big events and SkyView which is just on the same location provided us a memorable ride onto the top of it. Read more about our SkyView experience.
In late November, we wanted to visit Stockholm for one day. We hopped onboard Tallink's m/s Silja Symphony, a large ferry between Helsinki and Stockholm. Despite its strict schedule, the ferry offered us an experience akin to a leisurely cruise ship. To get insight into the ferry's interior and services, read our cruise's story and learn how we reviewed the ferry.
This summer of 2022, we had a weekend getaway cruising from Turku, Finland, to Stockholm, Sweden, on m/s Viking Grace by Viking Line. In this article, we share our cruising experiences and tell interesting details about this huge ferry. Aside from transporting cargo, Viking Grace is a big luxury ship. Read the article about the services this ferry offers.
Silja Serenade is one of the biggest ferries on the Baltic Sea. Finns and Swedes love having a 2-night cruise on m/s Silja Serenade. Read a story about our cruising experience and interesting facts about this ferry.

On our way back from Porto to Helsinki, we decided to make the most of our layover in Stockholm Arlanda by visiting the Pearl Lounge in Terminal 5. The lounge was nice-looking with Scandinavian decoration but, perhaps, a little too simple. Read more from our review.
If you're a frequent visitor of Stockholm-Arlanda Airport, you know the airport can be hectic. Between long lines, security checks, and rushing to catch your flight, finding a moment to relax and unwind can be tricky. That's why finding a peaceful oasis amid all the chaos is essential. Pearl Lounge by Gate C37 at Terminal 4 is one place to relax. With its comfortable seating and stunning plane-spotting opportunities, Pearl Lounge provides a much-needed respite from the hustle and bustle of the airport. However, the lounge is far from perfect. Please read our detailed Pearl Lounge review.
Morrow Bank Mastercard is a competitor for Bank Norwegian´s Visa. Both cards have similar features. Even though the Morrow Bank credit card is not targeted to travellers, frequent travellers can benefit significantly from it. Please read our review to familiarise yourself with Morrow Bank Mastercard as we share our experiences.
Before the summer finally ended in Helsinki, we decided to board m/s Gabriella, a ferry owned and operated by Viking Line. This ferry brought us to Stockholm, where we spent six and a half hours in the Swedish capital before the return journey. This ferry is old but still has many high-quality services: restaurants, shops, bars, entertainment, sauna and much more. Read more about our trip from the review.
