You sir have the potential to be a big time vlogger in my opinion. Great personality and interesting videos. I hope you can become as big as MikeOkay because i would love to follow your videos all around the world with loads of differents cultures. Cheers young man!
That was one very empty boat … not really the time of year for cruising between those two cities. Right after X-mas most people that usually frequent those ferries don’t have the funds. And if they visited family in either country they are back home by now.
Its stilla big diffrance between Helsinki, Åbo and Tallinn cruises. Hope they get the Riga one back soon, i really like Riga. Helsinki is for sure the most party one. The Åbo one is quite a bit more transporty and the Tallinn on is quite a bit of a mix. To me the Åbo cruise is like i just want to get away from home a day, and the Helsinki is way more of celebration and vacation.
As someone who is basically raised on these ferries and have worked on several of them, these kinds of videos are always fun to watch! Viking Cinderella was actually the largest ferry in the world when she was new! :D
Titanic was: 269meter long, 28.9meter beam, it had 9 decks and a capacity for 2453 passengers and a total engine output of 46 000hp and 46 329 grose tons Viking Cinderella (The ships you are one) is: 191meter long, 29 meter beam, it have 12 decks, 38 600hp and 46 398 grose tons. it takes 2700 passages or 2560 passengers as rebuilt in 2004. It also carries 860 lane meter of cargo So while Cinderella is considerately shorter, its wider, higher and generally boxier.Viking Cinderella was the worlds largest cruse ferry for about 6 months in 1989. Putting all together, Titanic and Cinderella is about the same size. Now the SIlja Symphony, is a totally different beast. 204 meter long, 32 meter beam, 13 decks, 43 583hp, 2852 passengers, 950 lane meters and a absolutely gigantic 58 377 grose tons. Silja symphony broke Cinderellas world record and hold it for 4 years, broken by the slightly larger Silja Europa, that hold it for 13 years. Both ships are shorter and bulkier than Titanic. The reason being partly that Titanic was built for a higher speed, but also partly becasue those two ships was build to handle thick ice.
I was worried there for a while that you would skip on the *already paid* minibar drinks. I was literally in a cabin next door to your cabin on this ship just a few weeks ago to the opposite direction and knew that they were included in a premium cabin ticket. All these ships between Stockholm and Helsinki/Turku are pretty grande and have spa, night club, bars.. Viking Glory is the newest one from 2022 and Silja Serenade is the first ship to have this promenade on a cruise ship which is now on Royal Caribbean cruise ships (they literally hired the Finnish designer) and Icon of the seas was built in Turku, now they are building the next one.. Viking line is a Finnish company and Silja line is now owned by the Estonian company Tallink. These ships make a stop at Åland (autonomous region of Finland) to be able to sell tax free. But the prices on board in restaurants are quite cheap compared to mainland so that people would not just buy from tax free shop and drink at their cabins. Buffet dinners at these cruises are quite popular too, they have unlimited beer and wine.. so these cruises definitely attract certain types of people but are popular among families also. The ferrycompanies are compensated a lot by government I guess because the routes are important for truck traffic. That keeps the prices low and they are quite handly when you want to cross the sea and take your own car with you. Cheers from Finland!
A very good video dude. The main difference with the Silja Line ferry is that its a little bit bigger and fancier. It was the first ship ever to have a walking promenade, which inspired all modern cruise lines like Royal Caribbean to put the promenade on their ships too.
That ferry and mini cruise is amazing definitely better than some of the really expensive proper cruises. I watch a lot of the Japanese ferry cruises like 7 to 40 hours those boats are like wow cruise ships and that one you're on is right up there. Thanks for taking us with you and looking forward to following you now too. The usual things to get on those ferry cruises is sunrise, sunset and that's one of the main things the bloggers do and their audience welcomes and although am new to you Owen you totally nailed that sunrise.
"OMG, there are so many steps"...that's exactly what I say when I'm going for a slash at Wetherspoons! 😂 I used to party on these ferries quite regularly in my younger days and it was fun and at that point, the alcohol was way cheaper than it is today.
4:24 There is a sign right there top right on the fridge door saying in Swedish, Finish and English that all drinks are complementary. In the olden day they handed out tickets for free when there was little people on the ship. But then you needed to upgrade to get a cabin. Typically upgrade to the lowest type of cabin was really quite cheap, so no problem. But they are not alowed to do that anymore. 13:40 "it looks to fancy for my liking" Viking Cinderella have been heavily criticized to be to scrappy. They fixed it up a bit. But its still by far the most scrappy cruise ferry out of Stockholm. 19:40 Yea, because when there is no general vacation or long weekend, or normal weekend or anything. The only people that are free to go, is seniors and people on parental leve. That is also why its so freaking cheap. The ship need to go, becasue its a ROPAX ferry, and is also doing heavy truck transfer between Sweden and Finland. So they sell out the cabin tickets for a loss, just to keep the staff on deuty.
I do miss cinderella, that was my 2nd home before covid. when you could a ticket for €5-15 or free mon to thursday. and a ticket for €25-30 on saturday. with bustransfer. Yes she looked a bit crappy, but alot of people, and had my fav bartender at etage. i took a week with tallink, this summer, felt that victoria that i felt crappy had a good upgrade, but serenade , she needs a makeover. really looking wear and teared. i got lucky to get on a xprs, tallin helsinki, and tha boat allmost new.
yeah in wintertime it's gonna be mostly elderly ppl on those boats except for friday when it's usually fully booked and nightclub is much more lively and you will have a difficult time finding a seat in the pubs.
@@agloster3 In the thumbnail it says 12 dollars. As someone who has travelled these car ferries tens of times I can guarantee that kind of premium cabin is not 12 dollars. After recent price hikes you couldn't get even the worst cabin below car deck at that price in the middle of the week.
@@kuningas7 Yup. Cheapest price that I found for this year for that cruise was 59€, but that was economy cabin. The cheapest price for his cabin was 161€, but "normal price" for that cabin is around 400€
Omg! Its viking cinderella!!! Haha I loved that boat! I know that boat😂🙈 it used to be the best party boat 23 h cruise from Stockholm to Mariehamn and back, and boy did we party!😂 then they changed its route and now my party boat is gone!🥺😂🙈
@@annicaesplund6613 I know. Didn't close down in the 90 ies though. traveled with it in 2004. It seems Stena- Lina figured they could make people pay more by taking several ferries to go from the UK to Sweden. It will only work until someone else starts up a line of their own.
Fantastic vlog and very informative mate. You remind me of a young Ben Fogle but Owen you like to have a laugh which is priceless. Continue as you are as the seas are your oyster. Ahoy shipmates 👍
Watching this as a Brit away from home, ironically in Sweden, this had me absolutely howling - Will never stop missing being constantly surrounded by our humor
the minibar is free :) but those boats are better in the summer, when we have live music on the helipad, and alit of sun :) 700 s pretty low, been travel on midsummer when is its 2000+ people onboard :)
The trick to walking straight in Finnish cruise is to drink more 😂 and you haven't seen the "alley" parties they will go on when they serve breakfast 😂
I have seen your TikTok’s! Am pleased that you have done this as I am doing Stockholm to Helsinki in February. This gives me a great guided tour of the boat!
Great video Owen. The whole cruise concept originated on these ships. The live bands on Viking line are also not as good as Silja Line. Silja has a more fancier ship and invests more in the entertainment.
Owen, I was hooked! watched it from start to finished, loved the Karoke 😂 can't wait until the next one mate! Keep at it and hopefully we can see you doing this full time !
You can have a cruise for FREE with the cheapest cabin from Stockholm to Helsinki and back if you traveling in low season and on certain days, e.g Tuesdays and Wednesdays, sometimes Thursdays
People going on these short cruises like drinking alcohol... lots of it. There was a reality TV show following the people on M/S Viking Cinderella around 15 years ago, called "Färjan".
You can get it cheaper by chose a trip both way with the same ship, done that for decades now between Sweden and Finland on both companies. We are saying that Tallink-Silja linie is 1st class and Viking Linie is 2nd class, don't take it litterally. On the ferry the crew on both ferries speaking 3 languages, Swedish, Finnish and English.
Hi Owen, I was browsing through RUclips and came across your video, absolutely loved it was very entertaining , you've got the thumbs up and I've subscribed - well done 👍
Boat? It could even be a ship…. Maybe! 😂 and your ‘room’ could even be a cabin… maybe!… that said m, you got balls bro, getting up and wailing like a banshee 👍
Great video enjoyed it Owen... if you liked this method of transportation you must try a cruise, sometime (I've sailed on over 45) hehe ... keep doing what you do 🙂
Living in Tallinn and going on them every so often, several times per year, I've never thought of them as interesting Just what gets me from A to B with cheaper chocolate xd

One of the best comments I’ve received, thank you so much!
🌟 if he can tell the difference between a ferry crossing and a cruise #numptynonsense
@@superyachtchefit helps get clicks if you call it a “cruise” instead of a “ferry”

@@OwenReeman I agree with his comment. No unnecessary frills.
As a swede I have never thought of our cruise as anything special. Cool to see it in a new light.

That karaoke was gold hahaha. Legend!
Bro thought he was bunting
" I may or may not have thrown up". Legend. I can imagine this being a great trip in the spring.
Oh I bet it’s even better when the weather is nicer!
A very good video dude. The main difference with the Silja Line ferry is that its a little bit bigger and fancier. It was the first ship ever to have a walking promenade, which inspired all modern cruise lines like Royal Caribbean to put the promenade on their ships too.
As a finn fun watching this. Keep up the work!
Thanks!!
you got unlucky with the room, there was the outside walking thingy. its not on every floor. So without it, the sea would look 10x better

Absolutly loved tagging along to a lads night out on a Swedish boat! Cheers man!
You're my new favourite vlogger. Keep them coming!!!
when you mention 'cheapest cruise' in title, you really need to mention (preferably at the start) in the video how much it costs. Travel vlogging 101.
It’s in the thumbnail

One of the finnish ways to spend summer vacation Is going on one of those cruises.
Great video mate! Hard to walk straight! Sure it’s just the boat rocking 😂 love it
Nice to see a person that knows how to have fun on your on and still dont make an ass of yourself. New sub here!
I wish these two companies would operate a cruise between the UK and Sweden.
You need to do a bigger cruise mate, first vlog ived watched and enjoyed it, you look well happy, enjoy it and get in a bigger one mate 👌
There used to be, Stena Line from Göteborg to Harwich, but closed down in the end of the 90's?
No thank you! Stay in Barry land!
@@annicaesplund6613 I know. Didn't close down in the 90 ies though. traveled with it in 2004. It seems Stena- Lina figured they could make people pay more by taking several ferries to go from the UK to Sweden. It will only work until someone else starts up a line of their own.
- 700
- What people
- No. animals!
The cheek of her!! 🤣
You're so "innocent" and baffled by everything, its like you never been outside before! 😮
Fun video thou. 😊
‘No, animals’ was harsh 😂😂😂
The people it describes would find it funny, I'm sure 😂
Great video. Looking forward to more. You should be very happy with your first 2 videos
Fantastic vlog and very informative mate.
You remind me of a young Ben Fogle but Owen you like to have a laugh which is priceless.
Continue as you are as the seas are your oyster.
Ahoy shipmates 👍
Thank you so much!! Means a lot!!
@prockyproctor3009 Where you from Proctor?
You have a duty young man- to eat for twice the ticket price at the breakfast buffé
Fantastic video Bud 👍👍Keep them coming really interesting watch 👍👍👍
Can’t believe it’s on love you your second RUclips video - they’re really fun to watch.
Watching this as a Brit away from home, ironically in Sweden, this had me absolutely howling - Will never stop missing being constantly surrounded by our humor
Nice to see you enjoy that. Pretty cool ship.
I'd expect to see a brit enjoy his time at the pub!
I normaly take these ferrys to Estonia, and I like how shocked he is about such normal stuff
A room on a boat/ferry/ship is called a cabin.
Why didn't you get a map of the layout when you boarded?
Until about a year ago that boat ran 23 hour party cruises out of Stockholm. Those were epic! A lot calmer on it's new route!
the minibar is free :) but those boats are better in the summer, when we have live music on the helipad, and alit of sun :)
700 s pretty low, been travel on midsummer when is its 2000+ people onboard :)
The trick to walking straight in Finnish cruise is to drink more 😂 and you haven't seen the "alley" parties they will go on when they serve breakfast 😂
Loving your videos!! Keep it up
I have seen your TikTok’s! Am pleased that you have done this as I am doing Stockholm to Helsinki in February. This gives me a great guided tour of the boat!
Can I split the G, it’s a plain glass! Class 😂😂
Owen the karaoke 😂 I can’t 😂 followed you on tiktok for time, absolutely loving this journey for you 🙌🏼
Came from the tok. Looking forward to move random adventures. Keep it up Owen!
Welcome aboard!
Really looking forward to your next adventure you have so much energy and enthusiasm.
Met u in the cruise owen
Keep up the good work
Waiting for more videos
loving your vids brother
Great video Owen. The whole cruise concept originated on these ships. The live bands on Viking line are also not as good as Silja Line. Silja has a more fancier ship and invests more in the entertainment.
It's a ship bro, not a boat. But happy to see you had a good time, go Finland!
You have the perfect personality for vlogging !
Now this channel has potential! Subscribed! Keep this amazing content coming👌🏻
Good job mate 👍 Greetings from Helsinki Finland 🇫🇮
Balls of sheer steel! Fair play enjoyed watching
Fantastic work mate!! Can’t wait for the next one!

God I’d love to go on a cruise! So much fun on the ship and any ports are a bonus! Awesome video!
😂that's what I was thinking. Definitely needs to go on one. Think he will love it
We used to go these "porauslautta* back in day. Fun times.
You can have a cruise for FREE with the cheapest cabin from Stockholm to Helsinki and back if you traveling in low season and on certain days, e.g Tuesdays and Wednesdays, sometimes Thursdays
If you are a member of the "Viking Club" you will have reductions of almost everything
If you keep this up mate you’re going places you already look like a pro vlogger 🎉
Thank you!!
Looked like a great ship! 😃

Did you go on a week day? Friday & saturday's have more people & also when there is a artist performing 👍🏻 25.1 is Pandora 😁
My uncle Kristof watching your travels all the time when he drinking with wife .Thanks Mate
Great video. Superb ferry ⛴️ . Love how you tried to squeeze so many activities into your experience. Well done 👏
Thank you!! I had a great time! ⛴️
3k subs???? You deserve 100k at least great video and quality!
You can get it cheaper by chose a trip both way with the same ship, done that for decades now between Sweden and Finland on both companies. We are saying that Tallink-Silja linie is 1st class and Viking Linie is 2nd class, don't take it litterally. On the ferry the crew on both ferries speaking 3 languages, Swedish, Finnish and English.
There's actually multiple ferry companies in Finland, the biggest two are Tallink-Silja and Viking Line, there's also Eckerö Line, Finnlines...
Your BOAT is the liferaft outside your window on the SHIP in which you are travelling.
I subscribed within the first minute of watching this vid, really good vlog :)
Yay! Thank you!
You're just as excited as we were at the age of 18 on our first trip to Stockholm. 🤣
Here before you reach 100m subscribes 🎉 Keep up the good work geezer
I went on Silja line this summer it's great to see a video about viking line also love your tiktoks ❤🙏

I used to work on that boat🥹 so many memories coming back! But when I worked there it operated on a different route ☺️
Another top video mate
Thanks 👍

Big up to you Owen, nice work lad.
