The crossing

The Stockholm to Helsinki ferry

Stockholm to Helsinki is the classic Baltic cruise-ferry crossing, an overnight passage of around sixteen to seventeen hours that threads through the beautiful Stockholm and Åland archipelagos before reaching the Finnish capital. The big cruise-ferries are an experience in themselves, with en-suite cabins, restaurants, bars, live entertainment, shops and sun decks, so the journey feels as much a mini-cruise as a means of getting across. Ships sail in the evening and arrive the next morning, carrying cars, motorhomes and foot passengers, and many travellers book it purely for the scenery and the onboard atmosphere. With a cabin you step ashore rested in central Helsinki, close to the market square and the main sights. It is a relaxed and characterful way to travel between the two Nordic capitals.
