I took an overnight ferry to Finland in a premium cabin for $333. I’d do this trip again, but ideally on a nicer ship.

The onboard pub looked like a a real British pub.

There was also a prosecco bar, coffee shop, and a British-themed pub on board.
Étage nigtclub offered live performances and dance music for those seeking after-dinner entertainment. However, the music wasn’t to our taste, so we skipped it.
There’s also an onboard spa.
The duty-free shop had a clothing section.

The ferry had a large duty-free shop stocked with everything from clothes to alcohol.
Once we’d explored the ferry, done some shopping, and had dinner, it was almost time for bed.
Our premium room came with premium breakfast.
We could see Helsinki from our window.

After a leisurely breakfast, we had time to pack and prepare to leave.
We went back to the top deck to take some photos and then enjoyed our first glimpse of Helsinki from the window in our cabin.
Although boarding had been a pleasure, disembarking was less pleasant.
I’d sail to Helsinki from Sweden again.

Our journey was just over 17 hours, but because we were traveling overnight and the weather was good, it didn’t feel onerous at all.
I’m certainly glad I paid to upgrade to a premium cabin, and I would recommend it. I’d definitely travel by ship again instead of flying, but next time I’d look for a more modern vessel with nicer, more updated facilities.
