The region’s first snowfall has been interrupting flights all over Scandinavia and the Baltic region this week, delaying journeys and leaving passengers grumbling in airports for hours. Meanwhile, travelers cruising between Stockholm and Helsinki and other ports in the Baltic are staying warm and happy aboard luxury ferries chugging along the popular sea routes. Ship travel is very popular in the Baltic and offers a year-round option for experiencing Scandinavia’s nautical history and culture.
Every day of the year ferries leave Stockholm for Helsinki and vice versa, departing in the afternoon and giving passengers time to watch the sunset over out-lying islands before they head inside to warm up and gorge themselves on exhaustive buffets (all you can eat and drink!). The ferries deliver their contented cargo by morning, and roundtrip passengers spend the day exploring either Stockholm or Helsinki before heading back in the late afternoon. One-way passengers can stay as long as they like exploring a new destination before heading back or heading home.
Ferry cruises are a great way to get a quick overview of the region or a sneak peak of another Nordic capital city. Red Apple Apartments has accommodation options in both Stockholm and Helsinki and if you contact us we can help you book a comfortable apartment or a stylish studio hotel room on both sides of your cruise with easy transportation to and from the city ports.
For ferry schedules and prices, check out: Viking Line or Tallink Silja Line.
