As you know by now, we have experienced a handful of ferry rides throughout our travels. This one stands out above all the rest. We started this day knowing we were going to take a two hour ferry from Helsinki, Finland into Tallinn, Estonia. Little did we know, this boat would be our first cruise experience! Complete with restaurants, clothing stores and live entertainment. It was amazing and so much more than we ever expected.

These Helsinki-Tallinn ships are used for both fun and commuting, a lot of Estonians work/live in Finland. The biggest and most fancy Baltic ferries sail between Helsinki and Stockholm, one seen here 5:07. A two-night trip to Stockholm and back on the big ferry used to be the highlight of the summer when I was a kid :)
was travel for me to visit grandmother when i was a child
5:20 those ships can leave a little early if they know that everybody who have bought tickets have already arrived on board. It happens sometimes.
Yes i agree, Last time i went for estonia, the timetable was 17.30 but we were moving 17.10. It is huge fuel savings when they can drive 2 knots slower.
Yes. Passenger list. All aboard go 🥳
🎉
Glad you enjoyed the Boat it's a very convenient way to get across the Gulf of Finland, and believe it or not this Boat is TINY compared to some Cruise Ships that dock in Helsinki.
Ive taken that same trip a dozen of times to Tallinn and back but someone else doing it for the first time intrigues me
5:50 you went past my home island Suomenlinna 🙂
Helsinki is the busiest passenger terminal in Europe. And those ferries are like small Caribbian cruise ships, with a car deck which caribbian cruise ships do not have. Instead they have more cabins. Travelling to Estonia and Sweden via ferry is very common. I have taken those ferries atleast 50 times.
Heyy you two, so amazing you enjoyed the ship cruise to Tallinn.. Welcome to Estonia☺️☺️
The holiday you talked about is called Jaanipäev and i'm so happy that you visited Tallinn exactly that time.. can't wait to see another video of you two exploring my country, all the best from me and i hope you loved every minute being in Estonia☺️🇪🇪🇪🇪
We definitely enjoyed Estonia! Next video coming soon of exploring Tallinn and celebrating Jaanipaev. Thanks for watching!
Good surprises are the best. Very cute to see your reactions to the boat. Made me smile :)
Yes, you can get fairly cheap tickets, because everything else costs. Buffet is popular and shopping is tax free,, so that's a plus. There's cruises for traveling and commuting and longer ones for festivities and leisure time, which explains the number of restaurants etc. and the saying "What happens on a ship, stays on the ship".
Your excitement about the cruise ship is adorable. The fact that you never found coffee was stressful for me! Great video! I’m very curious how it has so many views so quickly.
hahah we gave up on the coffee. We were used to Turkey and Italy where you can find coffee on every corner for $1. I was surprised how expensive it was too since I think the Finns drink a lot of coffee.
@@SOSASATSUNRISE yep they do.
And they are serious about their coffee.
They hold the number 1 spot of the most coffee drinkers in the world.
Sweden is number 2 (i'm swedish).
And we both like it black and strooong!
Sugar and milk is for sizzies... ;)
A great vlog of an interesting city guys - well done.
cool Jurmo-class landing craft at 5:36
Noticed that too. Cool to see them
there is also those longer trips you can take, that takes about 5 hours, and the boat is is tallin at evening, and you can sleep on the boat until morning.
Welcome to Estonia! 🙂
I can’t believe you’re in Finland & haven’t have coffee! Lol it’s everywhere
Three days without coffee, was that what she said? I'd be comatose.
Your vids are so high quality! You earned a sub.
I do really love your attitude to travelling.. Enjoy the thrill of experiencing anything new and go with it.. I wish you the best during your stay in Europe. TH-cam suggested I would see your arrival to Finland, so that´s the first video I saw, but I will definitely have a look-see at what you have done up until then.
We are always looking for something new and learn even when we aren't looking. Learn more about the world and you ultimately learn more about yourself. Thank you so much for watching and following along! 😃
@@SOSASATSUNRISEHave you ever been to Skåne? 😊
you dont need to use luggace boxes. Ithere is also free luggage room where you can leave your bags and its closed almoast immediately when ship leaves from helsinki and opened, i think 30 minutes before coming to a harbour.
Great video! That was funny to see something really normal for us is really exciting for you😄 I hope you enjoy your time in Tallinn! And btw you can actually see Viking XPRS on my profile picture🙃
We wondered how normal this trip was for the locals on the ship. We noticed many had their favorite spot on the boat to enjoy the ride. It was more of a surprise than anything. Our other ferry experiences consisted of maybe a cafe where you can get drinks and snacks and thats about it. Thanks for watching!😃
Should have takn the ferry to Stockholm, Sweden. Also known as the party boat.
Love to watch your adventures!
Thank you for always following along!
This country is full of nature beauty ..thousands of lakes ...most favourite is fish ...all kinds of fishes ...i really enjoed..
Good job guys enjoying your videos
Thank you!
When my ex and I visited Helsinki to go to museums, we didn't book a hotel room.
Instead, we went on an overnight cruise to Tallinn. The tickets were WAY cheaper than any hotel room in Helsinki.
We didn't get to actually leave the ship, but it was a cheap alternative, and it was more fun than a hotel.
Obviously cruise ships are like mobile hotels, so everything onboard is pretty expensive.
Just a tip. :)
P.S. It's a SHIP, not a BOAT.
Hahaha! Loved the discussion about coffee. For me coffee is NOT an option. Looking forward to taking this ferry later this year.
When I have a few minutes to watch a video like this, I feel like I wasted my life by just working all the time and being wealthy. This looks like way more fun, and no responsibilities at all.
We have a blast and feel so fortunate to be able to see a new city or country almost every week. A big part of our travels is not often shown on camera. Research, planning and editing videos is unfortunately how we have to spend 80% of our time so that our other 20% can be filmed to the best of our ability to share our travels. The work never stops but we wouldn't change what we do for anything. Thanks for watching!
i could not live this kind of life. I need to know where i am next day, next week or next year maybe. Daily traditions are a must fot me or i'll go nuts.
We struggle with this from time to time as well. Sometimes we stop for a month or so and get caught up on editing and planning. Although we move around a lot, our routine in a new place is surprisingly the same. Stay in a place for 5-14 days. Coffee in the morning. Work. Eat some breakfast. Work some more. Explore for dinner or cook the same dishes at our Airbnb we would make at home. Research and plan for 1 day of filming. Pack up and do it all over again. Our plans are loose but we do know where we will be as far as 6 months out and then have a good idea for the entire year. This life style is not for everyone but much less hectic and on the edge as it may seem. 😄
Better than working all the time and having the socialist government tax all your money and be poor. Greetings from Finland.
@@dingdong2103 So which country is not Socialist that you want to go to? Do you even know what Socialism actually is. in America a lot of the dumb trump cult members don't even realize their lord and savior trump was the most Socialist person ever in the Whitehouse. trump was not Republican, he is a National Socialist.
U 2 look so cute. I hope u have fun trip. 😀
viking line was in the 80-90 my partycruise to åbo from stockhol sweden so i have used viking line alot. and silja line some times
I recommend taking the ferry to Sweden as well! Tallin is so close that you barely have time to enjoy the trip.
Haha you should see the Turku-Stockholm ferries, there are the Viking's biggest ships
That is like the most mundane ship on this side of the Baltic. Its the one that really concentrate on truck drivers and workers. The a bit more luxuries is the one between Sweden and Finland/Estonia
lol ticket prices have gone up 32 Euros to Tallinn is pretty expensive... couple of years back it was 5 Euros/ person on that same ferry😅
No way! I guess we found a good deal. 5 euros would have been amazing!
@@SOSASATSUNRISE yeah those discounted tickets were regularly on sale... I'm not sure how it is nowadays 🤔
I just came from finland trip...i stay at my sister in tampere city...its nice ...its my second time to go finland......i enjoed cruise..
Go with MEGASTAR it's amazing and book your buffet breakfast in before, we had great time 🥰
I think your videos are great!! I just wish you would show more material. I'm sure it would be good.
Thank you! Some videos are shorter and some are much longer. It's all a part of the journey. 😃
2010 we went to finladand enjoy ferry cruise .we touch sweaden and germeny ..
Ships are in katajanokka, there is koffee everywhere.
Honestly it would have been cooler if you took the Silja Europa that leaves port at 18:00?
Also fun fact, when you arrived at tallinn you could see a white ship, that ship usually goes on the route Stockholm-Riga, but it has been chartered as housing for ukrainian refugees.
TallinkSilja has baaaaaad baad service. Always Viking Line or Eckerö Line when crossing the sea.
@@AARNEMAN I've been on TallinkSilja alot of times, never had a bad experience, Eckerö is overcrowded, and viking line is just boring
I travelled from Helsinki to Tallinn about July 9th also by Viking Line.
There is 13 departures in both directions every day between Finland and Estonia, most of them between Helsinki/Helsingfors and Tallinn.
Then I headed towards Tartu... Was speeding in a crossroads... 58 kpm instead of 50...
I was looking very carefully for a camera... But I didn't see any, so I didn't really brake (more)...
Then "something" flashed at the left side (!!!) of me...
I don't really know where the camera was hidden, as there seemed to be only a pole/pilar of stainless steel...
I was really surprised, because I thought I have learned what to look after...
It's a little bit annoying when a highway (!) is passing, let's say, a couple of houses and you have to go from 90 kpm to 50 every now and then.
The cost of the fee that came with the post? 20 euro to pay! I sent them 25!
In practice it doesn't really matter if you drive a little bit too fast.
Maybe it was the second time in 52 years that I was caught for speeding. Also once in Russia, or maybe I was only checked.
Once in Ukraine I was stopped for driving too fast, but the policeman was nice and didn't charge me. If I remember right, I didn't really understand that the speed limit was 50 kpm at that point. But my speed was not that high anyway. This happened in 2008.
We did notice many people had their spot on the ship and they knew exactly what they were doing and how to have the best time on the journey. Since the ferry is only 2 hours, I can see why people take day trips or go for the weekend. Enjoyable travel and cool cities in both directions.
@@SOSASATSUNRISE Although generally it is Tourism only from Finland to Estonia. What Baltics doesn't have, is amusement parks and one of the finest is in Helsinki and Stockholm. Both are very popular for Baltic tourists.
That’s fucken awesome!
When i want to learn about the ferry, but learn about your coffee addiction, relationship and your excitement instead
These are old ships that did go to Stockholm, that takes 15 hours ...have done that trip hundreds of times
I think XPRS only ever went Helsinki-Tallinn
These ferres are quite new. Never used between Finland and Sweden.
Three nights in cruise
23 countries, most of them many times. Have You been Pargue? Most beautiful next To Venice
Welcome to the Nordics, almost every ferry is like this
Viking line tickets are cheaper, but everything to buy on ship is more expensive. it is actually better to ride Tallink Siljaline, siljaline is few buck more expensive but you can buy cheaper stuff and it is more conforble and fun.
I belive midsummer bonfire in finland is one of the oldest traditions on the planet. Few thousand years old tradition atleast.
You should take two-day-cruise instead of Xpress... There is lots of shows and old-school drunk Finnish people. And those old cruiseships smell like u have smoked years in your apartment. You use to it and going to miss if you havent done cruises for a long time.
1 euro, many euros. It's ok to use the plural 😉
3 days with no coffee?!!!😱😱😱
Need only ticket for enter abord , right ?
Need will passport to travel from Helsinki to Tallin ?
Answer me please
We needed a passport
Good Morning Helsinki ! The Helsinki 24 Card - IS Good Value of Euros ! You May ride Trams & Metro and All The Buses - and The Fortress Island of Suomenlinna ( 20min ride ) - Helsinki AIRPORT IS Not at Helsinki - but at VANTAA - so IT IS too Far - Not included on The HC24 ! - as You Are Looking for The beat - listen DARUDEs - SANDSTORM IS The One ! If there IS someone - WHO has never heard IT - You may just enjoy the view !
Are all your cloth is the backpack?
Hi 👋 Yes, we both have a small day bag and Amber carries a 40L and I carry a 46L as our main bag. Checkout our website where you will find our Kit that lists everything we carry. Thanks for watching!
A ferry is boat just for cars, etc to ship stuff back and forth over a shorter distance. It doesn't have sleeping quarters for it's passengers. A Cruise ship has several different destinations not just going from point A to B and then black to A.
well the viking line ships are ferries as the are mainly use for transport between point A and point B all of them except the Viking Xprs go between Sweden and Finland and have cabins as the trip is a lot longer then Viking Xprs. I think it is funny that they think Viking Xprs is a big ship. is is small if you compere it to Viking Grace or Glory, Gabriella that is in about the same weight have a lot more cabins
@@ThomasVanhala I rather call the Viking lines ships, tax free party boats... It's a more fair description.
@@dribrom Haha yes that is true, I think the technical term is a Cruiseferry that have features from ro-pax and cruise ships so there is a lot of partys and karaoke.
People seem friendly ... interesting it stays daylight so long . Its getting darker sooner fall is on its way in the states
The closer you are to the Arctic circle, longer the day is in June. The sun doesn't even go down there around 24th. You can see the sun all night
Always wanted to experience total sunlight but for some reason we did not anticipate it happening here. Not the best for sleeping but still really cool to see in person. Thanks for watching!
@@SOSASATSUNRISE you should come back to Lapland when it's winter. There are those iglo hotels which are basically same as those pyramid hotels. You can watch the stars in total darkness all night until you fall asleep with your loved one. You can see those beautiful northern lights. Very unlucky if it's cloudy/misty.
EDIT:
Husky sled rides and so many activities.
In a country that drinks the most coffee 😳, no coffee for 3 days 😳
Please don't pay them more than 10 euros for one way ticket. If you are going further south you can fly out with Ryanair from Helsinki for 8 euros. 16.5 euros is just too much for a 2 hour ferry ride.
We have taken our fair share of cheap Ryanair flights for as little as 3 euros! The extra cost is worth it for the experience and and a much more pleasurable ride. Thanks for watching! 😃
What period of the year this is taken? What month?
End of June. Got it.
The coffee machine was broken? IN FINLAND!? How come everyone was so calm then? Where was the police? Someone in a high office needs to do seppuku for this! I am ashamed of our country right now.
Most likely a bad beans-to-cup espresso machine. Unfortunate that those effin' things have replaced the humble drip systems, given that instead of using properly roasted arabica of unkown origin and age (even if not ever fresh), you get a burnt to shit robusta & arabica blend, turned into a questionable "espresso" as a base for making "coffee based drinks". It's a real shame. In Finland we have the best "bad" coffee, and it's being replaced with absolute garbage.
I need to hire you to find a cheap Alaskan cruise! Hopefully you got your passports stamped!
hahah I guess book anything named viking! Since we are going from one Schengen country to another we did not have to go through customs or get a stamp. It is like going from one state to another. Disappointing since I love seeing a fresh stamp in the passport!
@2:55 it's a ferry.
U meam viking line And thats viking xprs
Would be really nice to hear from foreigners is there really any reason to travel to Finland? Everything is top expensive so do you actually get anything? Are there anything to experience. To a Finn it feels like we are just small population with small cities, not a lot for anyone to come and see from far away. Sure if you enjoy that there are not so many people and its quite quiet you will enjoy. Also the nature where you can go just by your self is something if you value that. I do like my country, but You tell me...
Great question. In our previous video, we enjoyed the afternoon at a public sauna and then tried reindeer at a popular local restaurant. Both things we had never tried before and was definitely worth the cost and time to visit. For us, it is the culture we like to experience anywhere we go. Food, language, architecture and the differences with how people live their lives are very interesting to us and we learn something new every day. You are not the first to wonder why visitors would think their hometown is interesting. The mundane to one is very interesting and new to others. Thanks for watching and leaving your thoughts!
Awesome 😎 I really love your channel, not only for the content but also because I'm a fellow traveler myself and I can definitely learn something from you. If you're ever curious, check me out ✌️
Wow 😳 That is not a cruise line 🙄 We call it a bus or fast ferry from the Helsinki to Tallinn or/to Helsinki
You are more focusing on the money you spend on eating and staying but you don't show the beauty of placeses or the things around you
But a after all your efferts are apprecheating
Good luck Javed Iqbal from pakistan
This particular video did not have a lot of beauty since we were surrounded by water. We do focus on money because our biggest question when watching others travel is how can we do the same. Money being a very important factor for most when researching where and how to travel. I thank you for your input and we will try even harder to capture the beauty of our surroundings as well as give information about how we travel and how much it costs. Thank you for watching!
it’s a ship btw not a boat
Hope you visited tax free market on the ship
We were amazed at all the shops and food options on this short ferry ride. We were not prepared to have that much to explore!
Not a Boat a Ship !!!!!!
A boat is something you Row or ski behind these are Ships
Big boat? Those are tiny boats in comparison to American cruise ships. Wonder of the Seas, Oasis of the Seas, Allure of the Seas, and other American cruise ships are much larger.
Built in Finland btw
Glad you guys enjoyed the ferry ride as it's pretty much the worst thing Finland has to offer.
People suffering from hangovers or loud young adult groups lugging in cheap alcohol and it's crowded everywhere and everything they sell on the ship is way way way overpriced low quality stuff.
Don't take me wrong, I still do enjoy one of those cruises every now and then myself.
Gotta admit there's a slight difference whether you're taking a few hour trip between Helsinki and Tallinn or a 24 hour trip between Helsinki and Stockholm. Both have their own ups and downs but in a nutshell they're pretty much the same.
Fun fact, back in the day Viking Line was called the "gypsy line" because it was preferred by gypsies travelling between Finland and Sweden. Every self respecting person used Silja Line. But now Silja Line is owned by Estonians and the quality went way down. Times change...
is sexual assault common assault on this ship?
I sure hope not?
