One-Day Cruise: Part 2 - Afternoon on Viking Amorella

From Viking Grace, we changed ships at Mariehamn to Viking Amorella which is significantly smaller. 

The signs are very clear and we went through a walkway towards Amorella. Check out how huge Grace is.

One-Day Cruise: Part 1 - Morning on Viking Grace

9 August 2018

It has always been on my to-do list to go on a cruise. I got to do a one-day cruise on Viking Line for an affordable price (well, my friend says that it is affordable) of SEK464. We got a member price for breakfast and lunch because my friend is a member. Breakfast costed SEK114 and lunch costed SEK250. If I am not mistaken, SEK50 is for booking via telephone and the other SEK50 is the trip (I guess this is the one that is discounted). 

Since it was a one day trip, the cruise started at 7.45am and we will reach Stockholm at 6.55pm. The itinerary was like this - Leave Stockholm at 7.45am on Viking Grace and reach Mariehamn (in Finland) at 2.10pm (Finland time which is 1 hour later), followed by walking through a pathway that leads us to our next boat (upon reaching Mariehamn), leave Mariehamn at 2.25pm (Finland time) on Viking Amorella and reach Stockholm at 6.55pm. My friend decided to purchase a room to rest on Viking Amorella. It costed SEK99 for the ad-hoc purchase. It was surprisingly cheap because this room is on the lowest deck and the view of the sea is a painted view on the window! 

We got our tickets and waited for the time to board the ferry. There were lots of tourists with empty bags to stock the bags with tax-free alcohol.
