Silja Line: "Sleep on the cruise ship to Helsinki!" Stockholm Hotel Tip by travelfrosch

One of the least expensive ways to sleep in Scandinavia is to take advantage of the overnight cruise from Stockholm to Helsinki. If you book a cabin below car deck, you can really save money and have a great cruise. The best deal is to book "roundtrip," in which you get the same cabin for 2 consecutive nights, plus you get to tour Helsinki for 8 hours before the ship sails again. For a cabin that sleeps up to 4, the cost can be as low as SEK 1800. That's TOTAL. For BOTH NIGHTS.

In addition, Eurail and Scanrail holders can get steep discounts. In fact, for 4 passholders staying in the same cabin, passage is free. Note: Eurail Flexipass holders need to use a flexi day to get the fare.

Another cruise line, Viking, offers nearly identical deals. The main differences are that Viking offers deck passage and does not offer discounts for railpass holders.

Unique Qualities: - Enjoy a wonderful cruise ship with all of the amenities for a very low price
- Magnificent buffet breakfasts and dinners (cost extra, highly recommended)
- Tremendous island views after 8PM enroute to Helsinki
- Countless bars, pubs, clubs, shops, and other distractions
