I live in Rovaniemi and take this exact train from Helsinki to Rovaniemi a few times a year (traveling for work). I couldn't help but smile when you said something about a person having to be hardcore to sleep on the economy class seats, because that's what I do every time. :D It was so fascinating to see the journey through your eyes!

[@ilokivi]

Came this way on the last day of 1990 from Jyväskylä via Seinäjoki, using only a seat both ways. Walked on the frozen Kemijoki up to the Napaapiiri (Arctic Circle) past amazing Finnish granite glowing pink through the ice and snow blanketing the landscape. Suomi on kaunis, maaginen maa.

During my Army years, I was stationed in Germany in the early 90s. I did security missions on trains. There was usually a "guard car" where we lived for the duration. We had to bring everything we needed to survive for lengthy trips. Still, it was some of the best sleep I've ever had. Loved watching Europe go past my window. Except France.....had some issues with the French.

@@haninditabudhi6574 I visited Paris and Normandy. The people were very nice. When people of Normandy learned I had been in the 82nd Airborne Division....almost 50 years after D-Day...the people were very kind to me. On the train missions, we would get good treatment for other European countries. But in the dead of winter, the French refused to heat our guard car. "Our system cannot work on your car." But when we would get to the Italian border, their train-yard people would shake their heads and tell us that the "system" works on all European trains, and they have had the same problem with the French.

[@chrisbarnes69]

We did this trip a few years back and it was awesome. They used to do a free breakfast box for all sleeper passengers. You were stopped a while outside of Helsinki because they were attaching a carriage containing cars other passengers were taking up North. We got on at a station just outside Helsinki after loading our car on to a separate carriage which was attached to the end of the train. ( Made visiting Santa and other Artic circle sights much easier as Uber doesn’t have the best coverage up there!!!)

[@jerrychen3514]

We were there last Christmas. It was absolutely great experience from Helsinki to Rovaniemi especially if you are in the room with bed and bath. You also got a chance to see the northern light along the route. Thanks for reviewing this trip!

[@ReyOfLight]

I’m Swedish so taking this trip in Finland is on my list of things to do! I live alongside the railroad between Gothenburg and Stockholm so my idea is to take the express train (MTR Express or SJ X200) up to Stockholm and then take the ferry, preferably Silja Line over to Helsinki and then the sleeper train up in Finland before somehow going over to the Swedish north, rent a car in Kiruna to drive out to the Kiruna mountains and over to Narvik in Norway and maybe some more places in Norway like Senja and Tromsø that aren’t too far away, and then take the SJ sleeper train home from Kiruna or Luleå. I spent time in the far north every summer of my childhood, road tripping with car and caravan, usually about 5000-6000km in a 4-5 week period, for me to take this trip I’m planning on my mind, it would be both to see new things (haven’t really been to Finland other than passing through a part of the far north on the way to Norway) and experience new ways of traveling as I (still) haven’t taken the ferry to Finland (or spent much time on a ferry at all, only a mini cruise from Gothenburg to Newcastle and back once, and some shorter trips) and the only time I’ve been on sleeper train was in China when going to and from Beijing from a city near Shanghai. The trip would also mean visiting places I remember from my childhood and that means a lot to me. Tromsø is a really beautiful city, as is the surrounding area, Senja may well be the most beautiful island of Norway, Narvik is really nice as well as is the road from the Swedish border in Riksgränsen. And the E10 from Kiruna over to Norway just has a special place in my heart with going alongside Torne Träsk, seeing the mountains towering around you with Malmbanan on the side of the road. Then in Abisko... Take the ski lift up on the mountain and just sit there and be astounded by the view with the lake on the left, Lapporten on the right and just Swedish mountain nature when it’s at its best! When I just relax, my mind travels to that mountain in Abisko... I’m an ambulatory wheelchair user with severe chronic pain though, so a trip like this would be very demanding, but I will do it, one day, and very likely document it as well and probably upload on KZbin if KZbin still exists by that time (there’s no knowing when I’ll take this trip and what the world looks like then)

Amtrak is OK, but their restrooms are filthy. Either the people were just pigs or the restrooms were not being cleaned on schedule. I'm an old Marine, have seen/used out of need, filthy restrooms. But amtraks are the worse. You complain, and they wanna throw you out the window. Not kidding.

[@mikearchibald744]

@@robertdefrank2550 It is, maybe you have more money that me, becuase for most of us plane travel is less roomy than the bus, and if you crash there's a much higher chance you aren't walking out of it. Plus for the most part they are crappy views, although I must admit they can be pretty awesome. Like when you descend through the clouds and see the cities, or go above the clouds and can see a night sky like never before. But after ten minutes I'm always "wow, if something happened to the engines now, we'd be toast". But here in canada our trains are pretty crappy as well. Switzlerland on a train was pretty awesome.

[@itsnotme07]

That looked like what Amtrak "should" aspire to be, and maybe it will with the replacement of the 50+ year old rolling stock soon. Impressed you were able to get any kind of dinner when you boarded, just because of the hour...meaning Amtrak would not have offered anything but snacks. Cool frozen ride! Haha. As I do my best to avoid snow/ice, and have no interest in anything above the Arctic Circle...I'll live though others travels. At least until the summer arrives. haha. Look forward to next week!

It took an hour of trying doors and getting shouted at before I found it. I don't know if it is still a thing, but you used to pass a big sign and a line of borders that announced: "Welcome to the Artic Circle".

[@samil5601]

Yes. These new trains are quite impressive compared to the old sleepers. The coaches on the old trains were very comfy, though. I did the trip in a sleeper in 1982 and in coach, daytime, in 1993. The latter was a killer. Once you get past Tampere, you got about 11 hours of the most boring moonscape to watch. Luckily, winter days are short in Finland.

The train has been significantly modernized since my journey in 1976 when I was just six years old.

I took this ride, but in summer and the real long way up to Kolari. My train was a nice mixture of some new double-deck sleepers, some oldschool singel deck sleepers from the 60s, a ravintola-car, some single-deck seating cars and four or five car wagons. I was sleeping in the old singledeck sleepers and I have to say that they are very comfortable for their age. Cheaper than the double decks but with a spacier cabin and a window that could be opened widely. Yes, there is no shower on them, but I don't need a shower for a single overnight trip.
