Reviews of Viking Line ferry Viking XPRS - Night Cruise from Helsinki

Incredible value, great experience! Room is small but clean and quite sufficient. Lots of amenities on the ship, and prices are reasonable.

Bit noisy in the hallway, especially with nighttime disembarkation in Tallinn and cleaners rapidly flipping neighboring cabins. I also wish you could disembark in Tallinn in the early morning. I had to book a separate trip to go back to Tallinn.

The booking in gentleman was excellent, most helpful. According to booking.com, the ship was departing at 6-6-30, wrong wrong wrong, it departed at 9-00, so he was most helpful.

I made plans to get to the ship in plenty of time but misinformation by booking.com had me having to wait over 4 hours. 😡😡🤬

The location where we were placed could heter the cars getting off and on at 12.30am- 1.30am & 6am-7am

It made a wonderful night for us on the sea. We spent whole night in our cabin. Our cabin had a window that make it easy to see the sea :) . You can not expect something same as a hotel room, but acceptable.

When we were reserving the cabin, I could not get clearly that our cabin has no window. As I reserved via Booking.com, I went to their information desk in the ferry, and ask them to change our room. It was not an easy deal, because I had to pay 28 more euros. After paying this amount, I can not still say that it is worthy in compare with the basic amount. By the way, the woman in the information desk, did me a favour to change our cabin with a window. I do not recommend any cabins without window! The other thing that you may be know, is the check in time in the ferry. It is around 8 P.M. and is to much later in compare to a hotel room. Although, you can leave your stuffs in the port locker rooms, it is not cheap.

The ship offers various play and entertainment areas for kids, including a LEGO room, bouncy castle, playroom, and construction activities. The food at the restaurant is delicious and well-rounded. The ship remains stationary in the middle of the sea during the night, so there’s no movement, and the kids didn’t even notice they were on a boat. There are several entertainment options for adults as well. The ship has multiple stores and a supermarket on board. The schedule is perfect, from around 9 p.m. to 10 a.m. The price for a cabin for four people is unbeatable compared to a hotel.

The ship arrives in Tallinn at around 7 a.m., and an announcement in the cabin for passengers disembarking can wake up the family. Although we had a calm night with no movement, rough seas could potentially make the experience less pleasant.

Everything

Nothing

The room was very small but comfortable enough for one person. It was quiet during the night to sleep in there. It was nice to go outside and appreciate the view while leaving Helsinki. And beautiful sunset on the sea.

I liked the moment where we got off the ship. Front desk person was kind enough to change a room for us.

Drunk men and women laying around on/under the stairs. Naked men in thongs and cat ears - crawling/vomiting in hallways (we could not get to our room). Terrible smell of pee, sweat, alcohol and garlic, spots everywhere. Drunk people chorus singing all night. Loud music blasting and shaking the room. AC not working. All this was a shock to me and my teenage daughter while we were trying to rest after a long flight from US. Small Pomeranian dog was bitten by 2 Huskies and almost died, while his owner was mourning and crying over the poor little thing. Then gradually he came back to life...
