Stockholm to Helsinki

I switched to a ferry for the journey to Helsinki.

An issue with not knowing the city and the language is an over reliance on apps. Using the Viking Line app I located what I thought was the terminal by pressing a link, but I was directed to the wrong terminal. I realised just in time to be able to dash to the correct terminal arriving 20 minutes before departure. The app said arrive no later than 20 minutes before departure. That was a close call.

Getting on the boat I was well looked after, sent to a lift where I descended into the depths of the boat. However the cabin was nice and I had it all to myself.

As we were leaving at 1630 the sun was setting leading to a beautiful view of Stockholm from ship.

Lots of videos of the boat so slipping through the water. Listen to the sound.
