Cruising Stockholm
Last weekend I’ve been on a cruise to Stockholm and back. It was an amazing experience. Happy 10th anniversary to The Pirates of the Baltic Sea!
My trip started in Helsinki. Once I got on the ship I went sightseeing and exploring the vessel. Later on the event started: 10th anniversary of the Pirates of the Baltic Sea cruise (in cooperation with Slija-line cruises). We got free champaign to celebrate it and later on a free buffet (normally worth 42 euros!). So everybody ate like they haven’t eaten in days :-pÂ
In the evening we had different events going on: pirate cosplay contest (which i somehow missed), blind dating show starring some fellow pirates, karaoke and, of course, wild partying at two discos available on the ship.
And here is the inside of the ship, I’m sorry I’ve taken a picture in a very fast moving elevator :-)
And the next day we were already in Stockholm. It is a very beautiful and unique city. It’s quite cold yet cozy, has a lot of modern buildings but still looks quite medieval. And it has an amazing history as well. That’s why I’ve taken a bus tour: combining sightseeing with some education :)
Yes, I’ve been taking pictures right from the bus during the tour. That was one of the Stockholm’s cathedrals.
The place where the Nobel Prize laureates are chosen: Svenska Akademien.
The Royal Palace.
I won’t bore you with the huge explanations of the places or a never-ending photo gallery so I’ll stick to those three photos.Â
On the way back we still had some events on the ship: bingo, speed-dating, karaoke (yes that one is really popular), a free Grease musical and again parties!
Basically that was my trip to Stockholm in a nutshell. Feel free to ask any question if you feel like it!
