Creator's Key Takeaways

This bed was so uncomfortable. It's sunken in in the middle, and I don't think it's even really a mattress.

Alcoholic drinks on the ferry, or in Scandinavia in general, are just really expensive.

It was light and entertaining and a fun way to spend 45 minutes.

Altogether, it was a fun little getaway, and I hope you enjoyed coming along with me on this journey.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book a buffet ticket in advance if you want to eat on the ferry.
Bring your own food and drinks if you want to save money, but note you can't do this on traditional cruise ships.
Consider booking two different cabin categories if you want variety.
