St Petersburg Helsinki Ferry reviews

  • "One nights journey"

    The embankment was a farce really- one set of steep steps. Fellow passengers worried as they waited. Would they be able to lift their cases to the top? Cabins clearly signed, clean and sufficiently stocked. Quiet, slept well. Timings excellent. Staff in charge of cafes and restaurant had permanently lost smiles and could be quite rude sadly. We wished we'd taken our own food on board as we were not impressed by any choices or prices.

  • "St. Petersburg Voyage"

    Our experience was good. It was not outstanding, but it met our needs, which was an affordable voyage from Stockholm to St. Petersburg. The ship is dated and the food is OK, yet nothing to rave about.

Located on the banks of the River Neva, St Petersburg is Russia's second largest city and lies at the head of the Gulf of Finland on the Baltic Sea coast. The city's name was changed to Petrograd in 1924 but was later changed back to St Petersburg in 1991. Widely regarded as Russia's cultural hub it is probably the most western of all Russia's cities.

The city is served by passenger and cargo seaports in the Neva Bay of the Gulf of Finland, the river port higher up the Neva and tens of smaller passenger ports on both banks of the Neva River. It is a terminus of both the Volga-Baltic and White Sea-Baltic waterways.
