Our first time taking an overnight ferry from Helsinki, Finland to Stockholm, Sweden!
We took a 17 hours ferry on the the Tallink Silja Symphony Cruise ship.
We were surprised by the cruise ship! It looked like a shopping mall, with a casino and bars!
We had a private cabin, and enjoyed a dinner buffet.
People told us this would be a booze cruise, with bands, karaoke, and clubs on board.

There's zoo near by Stockholm called Kolmården and in Stockholm there's this place called Skansen, there's aquarium, zoo, open air museum... Definitely check more information from the internet if there's something you guys would like to see... During summertime, there's multiple sing-along concerts in Skansen that locals love to go to called Allsång på Skansen, even the royal family members attend sometimes and those concerts are broadcasted live to Finland too. Vasa museum is a must, there's a huge intact 1600's warship on display, the ship sunk during it's maiden voyage in 1628 and was lifted in 1961 the ship is in amazing condition and worth a visit. There's also swedish crown jewels on display in or actually underneath the Royal palace in the vaults of Royal treasury (skattkammaren) Too bad that Gröna Lund amusement park isn't opened yet...

[@Rafu01]

I hope they noticed that the buffet is so expensive because it includes wine and beer as much as you can drink.

[@samivorhees]

I was going to say this but I knew someone already came and said it. My strategy when I was younger and went to these cruises a lot was, just eat the bare minimum and have as many glasses of wine you can in that time :)

[@Alexandros.Mograine]

I feel bad for people who dont notice that😂its the best part about it.

[@Kerttis]

hahahah classic, i remember chugging like 8 glasses of beer and i hate beer

You guys seriously went on cruises just to chug booze? That's the most WT thing I've ever heard

[@raikkali]

​​​@That's what 50% of people go to do on the cruises. You can buy tickets for a cruise where you go from Finland to Sweden (or vice versa) and back and don't go on shore for 10-20€, but if you want to use same ship for travelling, it's about 50-70€ from the top of my head. Just to get people to spend on booze and other stuff. People also go on the cruises to buy tax free tobacco and booze.

[@Valokaari]

Fun fact. When the Symphony (and it´s sister ship, the Serenade) started operating, it was the world´s largest ro-ro ferry. Also the center promenade was something that was said to be impossible to make or at least be very unsafe, but the Finnish ship design engineers decided otherwise. Enjoy Sweden! Try to catch a football match while there!

[@EB-rn8qn]

Reason why buffet is always full is because it includes unlimited beer and wine included.

I work with these ships, they have 3 huge 100+ cubic meter tanks for the fresh water. They have the ability to pump water from tank to tank to act as ballast water as well.

[@lindiksen]

As a Finn I've been to the cruise ships probably 30 times in my life, ever since I was a kid (obviously it wasn't a booze cruise then, there is actually a lot of stuff for kids to do on the boats as well). And from my later experience I can tell that the people who were carrying the beer boxes were taking those to their cabin to drink them, because it's much cheaper than to drink in the pubs there... Everyone knows that the boat "rules" say that you can't do that, but they still do 😅 Glad that you visited Finland and that you'll be back! And next time try Finnish pea soup (hernekeitto) with mustard, it's something that I think every Finnish person has eaten in their life and either love or hate, mostly love 🥰

[@anonymousfuck9320]

Yeah you buy a beer in the bart then refill it

[@Songfugel]

A common misconception about Schengen area that might be worth clarifying, is that it does not mean no border checks or border security, quite to the contrary, it is a stronger unified outer border, when members have agreed to focus all border check efforts on the border facing outside of Schengen area and not inside it. Meaning the whole Schengen area is protected with a stronger more unified border control, by freeing up the resources from border control between the member nations. This however does not mean that a Schengen member nation can't ramp up and restart the border control between borders inside the area, it is just saved for crisis, since it is such a waste of time and money otherwise. For example, during the refugee and covid crisis even many borders inside Schengen area were temporarily re-activated on a needs basis Btw, pancakes for breakfast is a North American thing, don't expect to find if outside NA unless they are regularly serving NA tourists

[@miikapoyhonen6211]

Someone already mentioned it but did you notice beer and wine included to buffet price?!😂

[@joni7fi]

Vasa ship museum is cool in Stockholm. Its a great war ship built in 1628 which unfortunately sank on her maiden voyage. They lifted it up from the bottom of the sea and now its there for all to see. Its very Impressive. Ive seen it three times as Finnish guy!:D

[@moonliteX]

Didn't you have free drinks in the buffet? Everyone gets wasted there

Also one strategy to avoid the lines is to .... Well avoid the lines and have an unusual order for different foods

[@justskip4595]

13:50 if you ever get on those boats again, get to the lowest level cabin. Those are the cheapest and also the engine noise and vibration are the highest. Also the wildest place on the ship. I sleep heavy so have never been bothered by others down there.

[@MsNeanna]

16:16 that's not a pancake, that's called räiskäle or more commonly lätty or lettu. It could be translated as thin pancake. The real pancakes (pannukakku) are much thicker and baked in the oven instead of a pan. And we put sugar and different types of jams on both, but never syrup (or at least I've never heard of anyone putting syrup on either one)

[@terhikalliomaki3140]

But it is not even close what Canadians means with pancake.

[@Ex0rz]

Its literally called a "crepe" in English lol. There are both salty and sweet crepes.

[@eedragonr]

Caramel topping by the Dutch, syrup by the Canadians and honey by the others.

[@juhakauppinen5055]

​It's lettu everywhere, never heard any other from Lapland to Southern Finland. ​@@DecibelAlex

[@KalleKilponen]

4:15 The buffet is worth it if you pick the most expensive items and drink the more expensive alcoholic drinks. But unless you do, you can get a cheaper meal in one of the restaurants aboard. Oh and if you book a fancier cabin (commodore or above), a premium breakfast, lounge access with all sorts of food and drink plus a fully stocked minibar in your cabin are included. It can be a pretty good deal outside the most popular cruise season when cabins are less expensive.

[@hamswakii]

Swedish football (soccer) culture is awesome, even if you don't care for the sport, and the season just started! Make sure to watch Hammarby play at home. The atmosphere is better than Djurgården (they share the stadium) or AIK (who play at the national arena). Djurgården and AIK do have hockey teams, too, but they are stuck in the second tier (Hockeyallsvenskan).

The most important thing about the Schengen Area that you need to know is that you as non-Schengen Area citizens are allowed to stay in it ONLY for 90 days in a 180 day period. So make sure you keep record the number of days you spend in the Schengen Area. Oh, yeah Bulgaria and Romania are also part of it so decide to go there the same 90 day rule apply.

17:27 - In Canada, a 4 hour drive is considered ''near''! In some parts of Europe, you've crossed an entire nation and into another one on a 4 hour drive!

[@herrakaarme]

90% of Canadians live hugging the southern border of the country. 4 hours would be enough for them to visit the USA and get back home for pancakes. If it's just a one way trip of four hours, you can increase the percentage further. So, as vast as Canada is, most of them can very easily visit a foreign country.

[@habitantcdn]

@herrakaarme fair enough! I live in Ottawa, the state of NY is an hour or so away, Algonquin Park is approximately 3 hours away. I've been to the former once, the latter several times!

[@JetLagWarriors]

Algonquin was Ivana and my favorite spot to go camping. We would go portaging on Lake Opeongo over a long weekend, with friends. The bessssssssst times ever. I miss that place.

We eat pancakes with strawberry jam in Finland, mostly on Thursdays after Pea Soup with onions and mustard. What Steve had for breakfast was indeed the more common crepes, or, as Finns call them, Lätty.

It is a seal. Nordic countries (except Greenland etc) have had a passport exemption that applies to their citizens since 1952, well before Schengen. No custom because of EU although Ahvenanmaa in Finland is not a part of EU and there is both custom and VAT border - tax free works onboard. The passport rules are more liberal than in Schengen: one just needs to proof the identity. You as foreigners need to have a passport and keep record how long you are allowed to stay.

[@Grodstark]

Going between different Nordic/Scandinavian countries is easy beacuse they are more or less "Sibling countries". It has little to do with the Schengen agreement. It's more historical than that and goes way back when we all used to be pretty much the same people. Way back as in like the Viking age. Moving/working/traveling between our countries requires nothing other than being a citizen of one of the others. It's like going from your home, to your other family memebers home. The borders are open for all of us. Including Iceland and greenland etc.

From Turku to Stockholm is 11 hours if i remember correctly. I live in Tampere so i take train to Turku and i go over the sea from there. It also costs less. Last fall i had to go to my aunts funeral in Sweden and i traveled alone. Trains and cruises costed 153,10€ plus 5,40€ for busses here in Tampere from my home to trainstation and back (well actually by the orthodox church that is 400m from station) so totally 158,50€.

[@LoneWolf731000]

It's an old tradition to cruise once a year becaus our family comes from both countries and it has always been worth it! 👍

[@tekko5329]

You must visit a hamburger restaurant called Barrels in Stockholm! Everytime me and my friends visit Stockholm from Finland we go there. Best burger I've ever had!

[@NaeniaNightingale]

I tried their vegan burger and I must say that was a waste of my money, it was so dry it made my mouth feel like a desert :/

Sorry, Pelicans hit IFK 4-3! Have a nice cruise!

Dang! I checked the IFK result immediately when I left the game in Sweden today. Bummer!

You can occationally find pancakes for breakfast, but overall Pancakes and different versions of it is typically served more for Lunch/dinner, often together with soup.

Viking Line for sure is a bit of a party boat, I go on theme cruises twice per year (Turku - Stockholm) where we have metal bands and all kinds of other fun stuff (Burlesque, bellydancing, stand up comedy, hangover bingo (which I host)). Haven't been on a Silja Lines cruise since I was a little kid tbh. The Viking Line cruises do also have just normal people in them every time, even though it's a theme cruise. Lots of old people and lots of kids that are part of some sort of sports teams (probably soccer or ice hockey or something) and it's a bit of a culture shock to venture out from the areas that are full of heavy metal people. Buffet meals are always pricey on boats, I do recommend checking out what kinds of food options there are on the boats if you take another cruise in the future. One thing that is a must for me is a shrimp sandwich! Usually I find some kind of cake at some point as well and my friends roll their eyes and say "you're supposed to be drinking instead of eating!" :D We're big on buying booze from the cruise ships, and especially Finnish people buy snus and/or nicotine pouches. Snus isn't sold in Finland, and nicotine pouches are much cheaper on the boats, so we hoard them. For us Finns clean water from any tap is a no-brainer, even in a cruise ship! And yes, our pancakes are more like crepes, we don't do the thicc pancakes like North Americans do. There's also oven pancake, which is thicker, usually served on Thursdays for dessert after pea soup. We do love our cruises, and we also love going from one country to another with no hassle. I don't even have a passport atm, haven't had one for years, and I've travelled to Estonia, Denmark, Sweden and Norway without having to show my ID at all. Well, during covid times I did have to show my ID when I returned to Finland, and my vaccine card and then had to explain that I wasn't able to get the third shot because I got some weird side effects and then my doctor told me not to get the third one, almost wasn't allowed to come back to Finland lol. We had checked if we need to have proof of vaccines when going to Norway and Sweden, never thought to check out if we needed to have proof when coming back home :D

Get well soon Steve 😊

This ship came out 1990 from the Turku Shipyard and it was a revolutionary design back then.

[@nipa129]

You should have visited Turku.... It is the oldest city in Finland and very nice. Turku archipelago, Aurajokiranta, Turku cathedral are all great

[@DecibelAlex]

Turku is dead in the winter

[@KimForsberg]

And you came just in time for April weather.

[@matsv201]

There never been passport control between the Nordic countries apart of during WW2. Even prior to Shengen. There was a prior passport free zone in Nordic countries and it was established so early on that it was before passports was even that common. That is.. before 2015. Sweden and Finland joining Shegen did not change the process of going between the countries.

[@carcassandra1241]

Haven't had the time to watch all of your Finnish videos yet, so I'm not sure if you checked it out while in Tampere, but if you didn't: they have a hockey museum. Definitely worth a visit if you come back for more games!

[@Morkoo]

10:03 wow that escalated quickly :D

[@thematsQ]

Seems like you have had a great experience in Finland. Usually these kind of videos miss out so much but not you guys!

[@jonniaho7335]

About the vibration and the movement of the ship. It's a great place to go on a cruise with people who have ADHD because the movement and vibration stimulate their brain so they can be "normal" and don't have to move and do stuff all the time. Seen this with my relatives. So Steve you're not only who feels cosy on a ship.

[@shakejuntti8872]

Karelian pie sushi is awesome!

[@JohanToivonen]

When coming back, take a viking line to Turku, check out sites there.

[@tuspu8255]

Funny I just came from that same ship today. Was walking down the same isles this morning haha

[@MarkusLaaksonen-uw5lr]

The last time I was on a ship was sometime as a child. Alcohol seems to be still almost free there, compared to the prices in Finland. 1 liter of Finlandia vodka, I don't even dare to think what it costs here. Is one of the most expensive brands

[@christinafang8355]

wow,I was on that boat too last May. From Sweden to Finland. Everything is so familiar.😂

[@sket179]

The candy in the ferry is a rip off. It's actually more expensive than in Helsinki. Just stick to alcohol and cigarettes in tax free, maybe make-up and parfum.

[@inkeri2741]

Weather in Sweden seems to have gotten more towards spring than here in Finland it’s still cold and wet. Next month can’t come fast enough I want spring and summer weather here too

[@staffan144]

The snow came back today (in Stockholm. It's all white now. Just like that!)
