Five million people in Finland for more than two million saunas. Almost every high-rise building of Helsinki has a sauna and even a Ferris wheel in the port-there cabin sauna. Certainly not without cost the sauna and steam coming from Finland to Germany.
All passengers of the ferry, even if they bought tickets for the cheapest seats, free use of the sauna, as a sauna for Finns is sacred.
Of course, a sauna fun on the ferry does not run out - for food, sport and leisure allocated an entire deck. At the entrance to her a few slot machines on fitness and gyms.
A children's playroom.
Game for those who are more mature.
Score.
That is the sauna, jacuzzi and massage services.
Cafe.
Bar.
A restaurant.
The food on the ferry is very delicious and very varied.
There is even a dish of elk and deer.
And lots and lots of desserts.
Surprisingly, all these many dishes are only four chefs (and the whole team of the ferry carrying up to 500 people, it consists of only 38 people). I made a report to the cuisine of the ferry to and from the places you can not get a normal passenger: How does the ferry.
Another public space on the ferry - open "sun" deck. In good weather you can sit on this deck, bask in the sun and enjoy the views of the Baltic Sea. And yes, a helicopter can land on the deck.
In a short video I show including all public areas of the ferry. If it is not seen, look.

Let me remind you, Finnlines cargo ferries depart from Helsinki every day at 17:00 and arrive in the German city of Lübeck (Travemünde port) at 21:30 the next day. Return ferry leaves at 3:00 and arrives at 9:00 am the next day.
Ferry - is a comfortable way to get to the center of Europe with the car, avoiding the long road, a length of almost 1,500 km. Cars on the steam entering the ramp and placed on one of the two decks.
Base cost Autopack (transportation machines + cabin 1-4 persons without window) is 348 euros. 20% discount offer when purchasing a ticket there and back. More 3% discount can be obtained for free by joining the StarClub. There are also seasonal discounts. Not necessarily to buy a package or cabins entirely, you can buy and place in the cabin.
This is the final part of the story of my journey to the Finnlines ferry in October 2019. Previous parts:

The main theme of my blog - Equipment for human life. I write reviews, share experiences, talk about all sorts of interesting things. My second project - lamptest.ru. I test LED lamps and help figure out which ones are good and which are not.
