    Cruise ships are exciting, aren't they? You never know what kind of romantic shenanigans and…read moreslapstick adventures you run into on the high seas, especially if they involve Charo and Gopher. Oh, wait a minute, I'm having an acid trip and flashing back to "The Love Boat" circa 1977. No, the Victoria was big but no Pacific Princess, and I didn't see the Landers sisters anywhere near the swimming pool. Just a lot of hirsute Estonians in the communal hot tub. This was the overnight cruise Jamie W. and I took from Talinn, the capital of Estonia (yes, Estonia) to Stockholm. We already had a similar experience on the Silja Line Serenade from Stockholm to Helsinki, so we knew the routine pretty well by this point in our Scandinavian maritime vacation. The cabin was A-class again and this time a bit roomier, a nice surprise since we got tired of falling into the toilet after taking a shower (photo: http://bit.ly/2iCQ6pE). There was no central promenade which took up a lot of space on several floors of the previous boat. No, the restaurants and shops were mostly on two of the decks, and you still had to make a reservation in advance to get dinner at a reasonable hour. We shared a rather middling dinner in the central dining room starting with the €13 Mussels Mariniere (photo: http://bit.ly/2hvJnOj) and the €11 Caesar Salad with Free-Range Chicken (photo: http://bit.ly/2ige49T). Not bad but our main entrees consisted of the chewy €19 BBQ Pork Ribs with French Fries (photo: http://bit.ly/2iCNVTg) and the rubbery €21 Flank Steak with Potato Purée (photo: http://bit.ly/2id0PnX). None of these dishes appeared to reflect the chef's finest hour. However, our mutually bloated feeling meant we weren't about to embarrass ourselves in the disco where drunken Europeans of all stripes had already taken over with brio early in the trip (photo: http://bit.ly/2hMzZBW). The morning brought new hope with the complimentary Breakfast Buffet offering quite a selection of Nordic specialties like smoked salmon and a lot of sausages (photo: http://bit.ly/2iD9Dm0). However, the best part of the trip was coming upon the Stockholm Archipelago where the picturesque sight of all the islands meant we were nearing our final destination (photo: http://bit.ly/2kQlEKh). This was a far cry from the dense fog we were escaping when we left Stockholm for Helsinki and couldn't tell where we were headed. Oh look, I think I see Doc and Isaac with the Landers sisters. FOOD - 3 stars...wouldn't really come for the food if that's what draws you to a cruise AMBIANCE - 3 stars...dated but functional SERVICE - 3 stars...barely present...where's Julie McCoy when you need her? TOTAL - 3 stars...really the only way to get from Talinn to Stockholm

    My husband and I took the ship Victoria 1 ( Tallink Ferry Company) from Stockholm, Sweden to…read moreTallin, Estonia. It was a delightful surprise, indeed. Taking the trip was like a mini Carnival Cruise Vacation. The ship has a large open ' Sun Deck' on the top (9th level) with chairs and tables complete with entertainment ( singer with guitar) and drinks available for purchase. We spent a long time here enjoying the beautiful Archipelago Islands. Cabins are very similiar to Carnival Line. One difference is the size of the window. Unlike the small round window typically provided on Carnival, the Victoria has a huge window that is perfect to see all the islands and birds ( see photo). There is a lot to do on the ship! The shopping was unbelievable. They have a gigantic store area complete with shopping carts! There is even a casino and disco. I have included a photo of the children's play area. The buffet food selection is so big, we decided to pass and we ate at the grill restaurant ( very nice!). There are TV's in the cabin and all announcements were made in Swedish and English. We didn't hear a sound all night, and slept well. The ship is clean and the crew were all professional. Highly recommend this trip ( bargain for $100!) That lasts 15 hours ( start time was 1700 arrival 1000 next morning)

    Thanks for Stockholm Visitors Board, Stockholm is the Most Tourist Friendly Northern European…read moreCities I visited! Not only the staffs at every Visitors Centre are friendly and provide good information. The most important is that they offers The Stockholm Card!! You can get this card for 1/2/3/5 days which entitles you to: - Unlimited Transportation on Public Transportation - Admission to 80 different Museums and Attractions - Royal Canal Tour (note only for certain time) and Stockholm on Bicycle Tour Definitely worth your while to get one of these as you can skip all the lines for ticket purchase and you get to see as many or as little as you want. BTW, it will take more than a week to visit every single attraction.... so I guess I have to go back to Stockholm again!!

    The place to redeem your Stockholm Card and buy ABBA Museum tickets. Clean, tidy, lots of info,…read morehelpful staff. Minus one star for being crazy hard to find for those new to Stockholm: If coming by Arlanda Express: - leave the station and exit past the Nordic C hotel - follow the street slightly to the right onto Vasagatan - keep jogging diagonally to Sergels Torg---you can't miss the tall tower - at the corner of Drottingham and Klarabergsgatan you should see T-Centralen subway signs - go across the street and past the sunken plaza with patterned flooring - go into the middle of the Kulturhusset - look for the narrow door into the office
