NICE TRIP! COMMENTS FROM PARTICIPANTS OF THE BARÖSUND COASTAL ROUTE:

“The atmosphere of the cruise exceeded expectations! Thanks to the entire ship's staff!”

“Kitos, nice trip, good food and friendly staff”

"A great trip through a beautiful archipelago. I recommend it to people other than tourists."

"I join my friends in these experiences. On Sunday 23.7. by boat from Tammisaari to Helsinki. The trip exceeded our expectations, although we were already expecting a great experience. The friendliness of the staff, the food, the scenery! We can only recommend this! And of course the bus ride went smoothly and the guided walking tour came as a complete surprise to us.

I especially appreciate the warm attitude of the staff towards their customers, they came to chat about this and that, tell us about the archipelago, the history of their company in person, in addition to the general "information sessions". It felt like we were "VIP customers"! Or were we, everyone? Many, many thanks. Hope to see you again!”

"We took a trip to Tammisaari yesterday. It was really pleasant and homely. The service was excellent with tour descriptions, the food was good, the scenery was beautiful."

When we were leaving Tammisaari by bus to Helsinki, the CEO of IHA-Lines came to the car to ask how we had enjoyed ourselves and to thank us for participating. Big thanks to the IHA-Lines staff. Have a nice summer”

“We were on the same cruise, we completely agree!”

"The same words towards Hki too.."

Subject to alterations.

The probability in favor of choosing Sunday as a day for the trip and a possible tip for those who generally enjoy being outdoors on the upper decks: on a Sunday trip (a ship trip from west to east), there is generally a higher probability of a tailwind, i.e. a relatively warmer stay on the upper decks, as the ship travels from the west towards Helsinki (which is more likely to be in the same direction as the prevailing wind from the west-southwest most common on the coast), because the prevailing wind is most commonly from the southwest, i.e. slightly in the same direction. On some trips, when leaving Tammisaari, the first hours of the trip have sometimes been completely calm, with the ship traveling at exactly the same speed and in the same direction as the wind on the coast, when the wind disappears completely when you travel with it at the same speed, as sailors know this well.
