38 hours seams like such a long time for a standard ferry, do cruise ships operate these routes?
Hi Niahm,
Unfortunately: No, these ships are not that luxurious. For that you have to Northern Europe. (Kiel-Oslo for example). The ships on these routes are mainly older ships, some are large though and do provide nice huts & restaurants.
