We took the underground from our hotel to the ferry terminal, and, once onboard, made our way to cabin number 2016. Despite being one of the cheapest on the ferry from Stockholm to Helsinki, the cabin was functional and the bathroom better than I anticipated.
As the port disappeared into the distance and the Silja Symphony negotiated its way between the islands of the Stockholm archipelago, we watched the sun set from the upper deck. After a tour of the shops on The Promenade, it was time for the Grande Buffet. The food tasted good, with dessert being the highlight.
We both slept well, despite the engine noise and the four courses we had eaten at dinner. Once dressed, we headed outside and caught our first glimpse of Helsinki’s skyline, emerging from the rising fog.
