A day of my life on a cruise ship is an unforgettable memory. I am always a sea lover. I love to watch the sea far away from the shore where the sea is calm and soothing. So the idea of spending a day of my life on a cruise was a dreamy affair to me.
I have always seen the big luxury cruises in movies and was very much keen to experience those beautiful interiors through my own eyes.
Few years back when I was in Turku(Finland) , we planned a vacation to Sweden. Sweden is a Scandinavian country with many beautiful islands. Stockholm is the capital of Sweden. And the best way to visit Stockholm from Turku is by ship.
Traveling through ship was like the journey itself was the most exciting part of the vacation and countdown started as that was my first cruising.
Finally the day was there we packed our bags and started our voyage. We boarded our ship from Turku port. It was an overnight voyage so it doubled my excitement by thinking of the colourful evening and the twinkling night.
We were waiting in the queue holding our boarding pass to enter the ship. I was anxious to go inside and see how a big ship looks from inside.
Our turn came and we stepped in and indeed it was mesmerizing. I was impatient to see each corner of the ship but first we went to the deck to have a look of the Baltic sea. The sky and the sea painted with blue felt like both are meeting at some point.
Highlights of the amenities of the ship:
It was a luxurious scenic ship packed with most of the amenities like:
- amazing restaurants and bars with variety of cuisines available
- well designed play areas with so many options for kids
- luxurious spa
- wide and open dance floor for dance and music lovers
- coffee and cookie stations
- Rooms to stay in different variations(delux, sea view, suit, private cabin)
We had our evening coffee in the twilight and creating our own saga. After that we captured few moments in our camera also and then we came down to explore the other part of our ship.
We spent the rest of the evening by enjoying some music and had a very nice conversations with some fellow travelers, it is a great advantage of traveling that we get to know many people around the world. Our travel itinerary will be incomplete without food itinerary , so we had our grand hearty dinner at the restaurant which had an amazing ambience and great food.
Next morning we reached our destination: Stockholm, the city of islands , museums , royal palaces and many more. It will be injustice to make you visualize Stockholm in this blog. There will be a different blog for Stockholm tour.
