Creator's Key Takeaways

I have always avoided ferries. My experiences with ferries in the past have not been good.

I definitely think that the big cruise lines could learn a thing or two about customer service from tallink.

I didn't go on this cruise for the food.

I definitely think that the people from sweden and the people from finland may be the nicest people on the entire earth.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use the duty-free shop to buy drinks at a much cheaper price than onboard venues.
Bring light luggage to avoid extra costs and make travel easier.
Download the Tallink app to see entertainment schedules and opening times.

YouTube Video Description

Normally when you embark on a cruise you'll have to fill in lots of paperwork, you’ll go through security, you’ll drop off your bags and it can easily take an hour or two. When I embarked my last cruise though the check in process took at most 15 seconds. We scanned a QR code, had a paper ticket printed and just walked onto the ship. We were boarding the Silja Symphony a ferry that holds 2800 passengers. Over 3 million guests take cruises on these ferries ever year and even though I’ve been cruising on cruise ships since I was a child I have always avoided ferries. My experience with ferries in the past has not be good, I get seasick, I find them boring and I’ve always thought that ferries were something to be endured but definitely not enjoyed. That was until this cruise which changed everything.
