Scandinavian contacts declare this mode of transport is not to be missed. Here is an American point of view:
"Two fine and fiercely competitive lines, Viking and Silja, connect the capitals of Sweden and Finland. Each line offers state-of-the-art ships with luxurious
smörgåsbord meals, reasonable cabins, plenty of entertainment (discos, saunas, gambling), and enough duty-free shopping to sink a ship. Of the two, Viking has the reputation as the party boat. Silja
is considered more elegant (but still has its share of sometimes irritating and noisy passengers)."
(from Rick Steves' website)
