    Amazing value for money, very nice experience all in all.

    The room was nice although small, and too bad we had 2 single beds (more precisely 1 bed and 1 sofa-bed).

    Very nice cruise, beautiful scenery, plenty of restaurants and bars with pretty good prices. You have all the facilities you may need, with a duty free shop, spa with very affordable prices too. Amazing value for money!

    The approach of the port in Stockholm was more than an advanture. We did not know which public transport line runs there. Even on the way back there was no sign for the bus lines how to find. We were lost in the parking plot. It would have been good to look through the window, it was quite dirty, it was a pity for that

    Reasonable price for such an astonishing journey. We felt safety on the ferry. The room and the services are great.The port was quite in the centre with good tram connection.

    A cruise of a lifetime for budget travellers

    All activities were in Swedish/Finnish, as were most people on the boat. Coincidentally it was the ski holiday in Sweden when I was there so there were lots of families with children onboard, though this was not an issue for me (apart from the fact that the sauna was in use all the time). Also, the hop on hop off bus in Helsinki (only one bus at 11am) only goes to the Katajanokka port (where the ferry docks in Helsinki) if you buy the bus ticket online in advance, else it will not drop by there. One hour time difference between Sweden and Finland (which the ferry follows - I almost missed the ferry had I not known!) I also wish I knew I could choose a one-way trip instead of two-way: the ship leaves each port at 4.45pm and arrives at 10am the next morning, which is around 17 hours in the cruise each way. No one informs you about these things so you have to be proactive to find out for yourself.

    As a solo traveller, I booked a single sea view room (double the price but it wouldn’t have felt like a cruise otherwise) so it was nice to have the entire 4 person cabin to myself. Fantastic nordic buffet which was the highlight of the trip. The supermarket onboard was great too, as were all the other facilities. Beautiful views from the deck, and the opportunity to explore Helsinki for 8 hours before getting back on to Stockholm. An opportunity of a lifetime to visit two Nordic capitals in a single trip over two days on a budget.

    No option for full body massage, A bottle water in the cabin as complimentary would help.

    Availability of warm water, room was clean. Easy to find the location of ferry. The activities nice, but selective.

    Wifi signal wasn't as stable the whole time. Not a lot pf channels on tv. It was a bit messy the first night with lots of people from a business trip, but overall okay. Double bed had a division anyway.

    Fair price. Check in was easy and they respected the timetables. There was entertainment aboard and food/drinks for a reasonable price. Room was okay, clean and tidy. Staff was nice. It was a convenient option to get to know two capital cities in short time. You could bring food/drinks from outside if you wanted to save some money as well.

    It would have been really helpful to know more about the food options in advance. All we knew about was the expensive buffet so we took our own food onboard.

    I wasn't expecting much from such a cheap cruise. I was happily surprised. Great views from deck. Large ship. Affordable food if you don't do the expensive buffet. Loved the price!1

    No complaints. Suggestion would be to make website show all the food options onboard. We didn't know so we brought our own food onboard

    For such a cheap price, I didn't expect much. But it is a big ship with many amenities. Enough for us at this very affordable price
