Ferry ride to Helsinki

In 30 hours, on the ferry, I cover approximately the same distance that I have traveled so far on my E-Bike.

After a long wait in Travemünde, I was picked up exactly at 11 PM by a Follow-me and led into the huge cargo area. There, I was able to park my bike and then take the elevator with my luggage up to the 9th deck. Fortunately, my bunk was already ready, so it didn’t take long for me to lie down and soon after, I was already asleep.

On the ship, Finnish time applies, meaning that it is one hour later in Finland than here, and this will also be the case in Estonia and the other Baltic states. Therefore, I will arrive tomorrow at 9 AM our time, which is 10 AM local time. Thus, I lose one hour, which I will then regain in Poland.

My ship is enormous, like a cruise ship, and also luxurious as a ferry. Nevertheless, the main purpose is to transport trucks with their cargo to Helsinki and not to serve as a pleasure vessel. So there is neither a cinema nor a theater. You also search in vain for a swimming pool. Instead, I have the calming sea around me along with plenty of tranquility.

In short, I can recharge my energy here for my next rides on the E-Bike.
