Finally, we are going on a cruise with Freedom of the Seas! It feels like we have been talking about this with cruises for several years now. We have been on board several luxury cruise ships that have docked in Stockholm, but when it comes to our own cruise experiences, it has not become more than small tours between Stockholm and Helsinki, Åland or Tallinn. So now it's time to try for real, right?
We are about to embark on a real cruise in the Mediterranean, but Peter "jump-started" a bit this week when he boarded the Costa Pacifica in Stockholm harbour. What did he do there? Munching on Italian delicacies and learning about Europe's largest cruise line. And then he recorded a film of course!
This year Silja Line turns 60 years old, and the celebration continues throughout the year. Yesterday it was time for the anniversary cruise in Stockholm, and all we can say is: what a cruise and what a party! We travelled on the Silja Symphony from Värtahamnen to the centre of Stockholm, and this was a trip with a lot of excitement. The festivities were not only drinks and food, but also live bands, water cannons and aeroplanes. Among other things.

We went there with Tallink Silja Line - on the way there with the ship Victoria and on the way home with the Baltic Queen. Here is a review that contains both a thumbs down (irritation!) and a thumbs up (wow, fantastic!). Have you travelled on these ferries? What are your experiences?

Yesterday we went on a day cruise to Åland with Eckerölinjen. Peter's dad turned 80 and we had been told that he and Peter's mum would go on a cruise with Peter's uncle. The three sons (Peter and his brothers) decided to surprise us by secretly appearing on the boat with their wives and children ...

The huge cruise ship ms Eurodam, from the shipping company Holland America Line, has just visited Stockholm during one of its cruises. Last night we were invited on board for a tour of the ship, as well as for dinner and entertainment. We have never been on a real cruise, except for Finland and Åland cruises then, so it was really exciting to see what a ship like this looks like!
