Crossing review
Very nice way to travel to Sweden! Boarding is fast, so you can fully enjoy the trip itself. The restaurant is nice, the bar is fun (live music & a quiz) and the rooms are quite comfortable.
It's lovely to spend some time on the roof, definitely during departure and arrival time. On the way back, earplugs would have been useful as the vibration of the boat created some noise.
Overall a very nice and even romantic way to travel between Germany & Sweden!
