Ferry Turku-Stockholm is an excellent option "how to spend a weekend"

They say that it's better to go bad than to go. This proverb can be corrected like this: "It's better to swim than bad to go." Bus tours to Finland and Sweden are good only for those who do not get sick from cars and carbon monoxide and who do not have a backache from prolonged sitting on uncomfortable seats. If you want to see two countries at once, the ferry from Turku to Stockholm will reduce the time on the bus to a minimum: a convenient minibus will take you from St. Petersburg to the port of the Finnish city of Turku, and upon return take you directly to your home at the address indicated. If you travel by car, then you have two options: either take it with you to Sweden (in this case, the auto-package "car + 4 passengers" will cost less than 4 tickets separately), or leave it at a paid parking lot in Turku .

Ferry Turku-Stockholm gives you the opportunity to save money on hotels - by choosing an evening flight, you sleep two nights comfortably in a comfortable cabin while the ship is sailing. We recommend taking a round-trip ticket, so it will be a little cheaper. I must say about some nuances of traveling with a car: the cargo deck closes during the sailing, so all the things you need on board must be taken from the trunk of the car before departure.

Now a little about which ships should be sent on the route Turku-Stockholm. The ferry of the company "Silja Line" is considered more comfortable, but the ticket for it is more expensive. In addition, if you do not travel in the summer, he sticks not in Stockholm, but 100 kilometers from the city, in the town of Kapelshcher. And in the summer months the ferry moored at the pier of Silla, which is on the outskirts of Stockholm. But the cars presented to the passengers by this company are really remarkable - huge, up to 12 decks. There is everything - from bars, duty-free shops to saunas and children's playrooms.

There is another company that provides a ferry to Turku-Stockholm, the Viking Line. Its cars are simpler, but cabins are cheaper. They are more fast (travel time - 10 hours), and arrive in the very center of the Swedish capital. However, which company to prefer - to choose you. We can only advise you to start swimming in the summer, especially during the white nights. Despite the fact that ferries run daily, regardless of the winter or the storm - modern technology allows it - the most pleasant thing is that the journey will take place in the summer. You can stroll along the "promenade" - a walking deck - and admire the beauty around you. After all, the Turku-Stockholm ferry through the open sea is very small, but mostly slips along the coast, among the fjords and harsh high cliffs, which ascend to the sky almost vertically.

But even if your trip takes place in cold weather and overboard - it's pitch darkness, you have plenty of opportunities to have fun. In restaurants and nightclubs discos are held, late duty-free dinners, you can take a steam bath in a Finnish sauna and even throw chips at the casino. Children really like the games rooms with a variety of toys. It is better to take care of food in advance. You can purchase space in the cabin with breakfast or with breakfast and dinner (buffet). You can pamper yourself by spending a romantic evening in a restaurant, or you can choose a cheaper option: a cafeteria in the Stockman store. The Turku-Stockholm ferry has a wide choice of cabins as the most budgetary (without a window on the decks below the waterline), and very comfortable with sea views.
