Viking Line ferry Viking Glory - Mini-cruise from Stockholm

Food was very tasty and reasonably priced.

We booked into the spa from 3pm - 5pm as we read that after 3pm was adults only. I’m very fond of kids, but not in a spa! Sadly there were lots of kids in the there. When I asked about it I was told that there was no adult only times during autumn school break. We were disappointed we weren’t informed of this in advance as the spa was a large part of why we booked onto the cruise.

I was a bit sceptic in the beginning, but I'm so happy that I decided to take my family to this wonderful cruise. The ship is extraordinary, beautiful design, amazing facilities, great quality of food in the restaurants..We slept very well and enjoyed the clean beb linen and room comfort. It was a nice surprise that all the entertainment was included in the price

We didn't like the coffee at the breakfast

I liked the room mostly and it covers the 2 days. The boat has a lot of facilities and entertainment. Drink prices and meal prices were not overly expensive if you didn't eat in the buffet. I had a good sea view and initially didn't want a room on the lower deck as people complain about engine noise, however, i didn't hear anything. There is a lot of entertainment with live bands, bingo, broadway shows so please check the times or you will miss it. Restaurant dinners close at 1030pm so i just made it on time but had a lovely meal. I would really recommend a sea view as i met people on packages in interior cabins and they didn't like it. People said cabins were basic but the beds are comfortable and clean. A 4-bed cabin for one person made it so that I had a sofa. The shops sold some duty-free items but as this is Sweden alcohol would be cheaper to buy at home than on the boat, however, cigarettes and Swedish nicotine pouches are cheap. I visited decks 10 and 11 for entertainment and food but on the last day, I found that the boat had other areas including a sun deck and bar and other seating areas. All in all, it was a good trip. The buffet breakfast was expensive at 18 dollars, but amazing with all kinds of foods including pancakes, cereals, coffee, juice, croissants, cakes, salmon, cheese, fruit, and meat so it set me up for the rest of the day.

I booked a sea view room but on booking.com it didnt state which floor it was on, so maybe in future it could be stipulated. I sent messages to the host beforehand and it sometimes took a while to respond. They told me that the level would be allocated and if I wanted a higher floor I could pay a small fee to upgrade. I was on the 5th floor and tried to upgrade but couldn't as they had no availability. Exterior window was dirty outside so it would be nice if they cleaned it for a clearer view. One more thing is that the sea terminal isn't far from city, however it is hard to get to by public transport as you need to change a few times, they do have a bus that connects to central station for 75 SEK and taxis in Stockholm are too expensive. My only other gripe was the queuing up to get onto ferry but it does leave on time.

Probably one of my best traveling experience ever. It was the first time i entered in a vessel. It was amazing! Everyone should do this. Sleeping in a (very big!!!) boat was the best choice. It is a luxury hotel with the best view of your life. Live music and concerts, very good restaurants, great staff. A 4 bed cabine is a very cheap solution to all this experience. The landscape of the archipelago along stockholm is breathtaking. Everything was perfect.

Different Activities planned throughout the day. All Live events were really great. Perfect 1 day trip for family.

Restaurants closing time was 22.30. Food Menu was repeated for Sunday & Monday.

The “Ferry Cruise” provided the opportunity to sail from Stockholm to Turku in Finland. The islands off Turku are a fascinating sight. Sailing from Stockholm at 20:00, day 1, means an overnight passage to Turku. Whilst not a long distance, it is a challenge for the crew to navigate through the many small islands off Turku to arrive at approximately 07:00 the following morning. During the evening, the onboard entertainment was excellent. Several different performances were taking place on separate decks. The inboard cabin I was allocated as a room was reasonable. It had two bunks and a en suite toilet/shower unit. I observed that there was only one power socket in the cabin. The ferry disgorges its Finland bound passengers then takes onboard new passengers bound for Stockholm. Then, the ferry sails. During daylight the splendour of the Finnish islands and eventually the Swedish equivalent are revealed. Th ferry docks at Stockholm at approximately 19:00 on day 2.

Nothing really. Everything that I experienced was good.
