Today you join me as I get ready to board the Silja Serenade ship which was built in 1990 and can hold up to 2,626 passagers.it is operated by Silja Line and makes daily trips to and from Stockholm and Helsinki, it also makes a short stop at the Aland island to drop off passengers. The ship departs Stockholm port at 4:45pm local time and arrives at Helsinki at 10:45am, total traveling time tonight is 16 hours.
Our journey starts in the Swedish capital of Stockholm were we leave our hotel in the old town and walk to T-central metro station to pick up the Red line, this line takes us direct to Gärdet station and the port departures building, from there it’s a short walk to passport control before finally being allowed to access the gangway and make our way on-board.
Once on-board we review our cabin which will be home for the next 16 hours, then head up to the viewing deck to watch the departure with a great sunset. There is lots of on board entertainment included live circus acts, live music Karaoke and Casinos.
On-board you will also find lots of places to eat included cafes, pubs and restaurants.
