Ticket prices on the Tallink Silja line are frequently cheaper than those on Viking ferries, but only if you choose to sleep in the communal areas, not in a cabin.

If you intend to sleep in a cabin anyway, the difference between prices is negligible.

Katajanokka is well connected to the center of Helsinki and is only 1.5 miles from the city center. Passengers can even walk if they choose, as it only takes 30 minutes, however, this might be prohibitively difficult for passengers will large luggage. Instead, they should look at boarding trams 4 or 5 which depart from Katajanokka and take only 15 minutes.

Katajanokka Terminal is very modern with a large range of amenities for passengers. Passengers can grab a bite at the restaurant, withdraw cash at the ATM and buy last-minute souvenirs in the shop.

Tallink Silja ferries depart from Helsinki's Olympia Terminal. Olympia Terminal is around 1 mile outside of Helsinki city center and travelers can walk there in only 15 minutes. However, passengers with large luggage may prefer to catch tram 2. Olympia Terminal does not have as many facilities as Katajanokka, providing only luggage storage and an ATM.

Viking Line ferries arrive at Stadsgårdskajen port which is close to the hip Södermalm neighborhood. Stadsgårdskajen is approximately 2 miles (3.2 km) outside of Stockholm city center but it can be quite difficult to reach on foot, especially with a large suitcase. Travelers can board the number 53 public bus from Stockholm central station. Alternatively, passengers can always pay a little bit extra and board the Flygbussarna coach service which departs from Stockholm central bus station. Flygbussarna offers a direct route with a guaranteed seat and dedicated luggage storage facility.

There is a café in the Viking Line terminal at Stadsgårdskajen port and restrooms available throughout, some which are accessible for passengers with limited mobility and some with baby-changing facilities.

Tallink Silja ferries arrive at Stockholm Värtahamnen, which is roughly 2.5 miles (3.9 km) outside the city center. Passengers can board the number 76 bus from Stockholm city center, or take the subway to Gärdet.
