"Fantastic crossing with Stena"

I can recommend this crossing without reservation. The buffet was amazing, the cabins very clean and large.

"Relaxing"

I got surprised that the ferry went to slowly over the sea, very comfortable. The public areas and the toilets were well cleaned. The offer to rent a cabin to rest was very good, (but we didn’t use it). The only thing I was to change is the prices for the drinks. One bottle of water cost 4.2 euro (40 sek), which made us bring our own water on the way back. We will travel again.

"Fantastic"

All necessary actions before the board-have went extremely smoothly. Very enjoyable, so many different spaces to enjoy the journey: eating and drinking, looking, or dozing a little in peace. Good selection of food and drink, brightly interior. A very pleasant change from Scandinavia to mainland Europe!

"Relaxed crossing "

The service on board was great. Everything went smoothly. Responsible for the quiet seas and a nice trip was the weather and the small number of passengers :-). We would use and recommend this ferry again.
