Ferry to Stockholm
The trip on the ferry-cruise ship to Stockholm was one of the most interesting events of our journey. It was our first time using this means of transportation to cross to the other side of the Baltic Sea, and anything done for the first time always evokes the strongest emotions...
Terminal D - the registration and boarding place... 
Approaching the self-check-in kiosk and using the number indicated on our e-ticket, we printed out boarding passes, which served as our entry tickets through the turnstiles during boarding and also as the key to our cabin...
Our ferry "Victoria I" consisted of 12 decks, 740 cabins, numerous cafes, restaurants, bars, etc. The total number of passenger seats is 2500. The third and fourth decks are allocated for cars and trucks, with a total of 1030 linear meters. The ferry "Victoria I" was built in 2004, is 192 meters long and 29 meters wide, and reaches a speed of 40 km/hour...
Inside the cabin, everything was very well thought out... Unfolding the sofa and lowering the bed left very little space between the sleeping places, but when folded, it was quite spacious...
On the TV, on one of the channels, we could watch the online navigation of the ship displayed on the map, another channel showed the view from the camera at the bow of the liner, and similarly, we could see what was happening in the main entertainment center. There was also a standard set of TV channels, and on one of them, we were able to watch the semi-final match of Euro 2016. The toilet with a shower - the brown door on the left. In the center - the entrance door. A small table with a chair, a mirror, two sockets, and a TV on the top shelf - on the right
The toilet with a shower, although very compact, was quite sufficient...
Between decks, one could move by stairs or by elevator. Mainly, our favorite decks were the ninth and sixth, where open terraces were located, from which we could observe the sea views without any obstacles...
Seagulls flew so close to the deck that we could almost touch them...
On the sixth deck, there was a terrace with lifeboats...
Small Swedish islands...
On the way, we encountered ferries from other routes...
The liner docks at the pier, and the overhead walkways-tunnels are moved to the exits of the ship, which are located on the fourth deck...
Morning on the deck...
The ferry trip became a separate adventure for us. We spent about 32 hours on the liner, 16 hours each way. Our little cruise gave us new experiences, tested our bodies for sea sickness (which we found out we don’t have), and opened new horizons for us...
