Advantages: Reasonably cheap, convenient departure times, entertainment if you want it Disadvantages: You might not appreciate the entertainment
...Being cheapskates we opted for Viking Line which, while it wasn't the cheapest, offered the best value and convenience by operating useful departure times. Viking Line operate other services in Scandinavia which are listed on their website but for the purpose of this review I will discuss only my experience of using the Helsinki-Tallinn service. Tickets can be booked at various places around the city but we booked directly at the ferry terminal because ... ...I do think that the Viking Line option is probably the - how shall I say this - no frills option. Fair enough it does have free entertainment for adults and supervised pay areas for children but it wasn't easy to find somewhere quiet to sit and relax, or sleep, if you weren't interested in those things.

Advantages: cheap and chearful Disadvantages: not for finding peace and quiet
Viking line cruises go between Helsinki and Turku (finland ) and Stockholm (sweden). I use the cruises as a cheap means to visit my friend in stockholm, I live in helsinki and flights anywhere from helsinki are expensive.
