Viking Grace is full of grace and charm. I must admit she is one of my favourite ferries now on the Baltic sea. I Went on a Cruise yesterday and I really liked the ship.

Excellent - I am looking forward to see your pictures of the interior.

Any tips for a location to take picture during the arrival in the morning? Do they arrive according to schedule (I just want to know when I have to be there not to miss her)?

It's of course not so much about the ships being late but about them being early - nothing more frustrating than getting up early only to find out that she is berthed already. How early should one be there to catch her arrival?

This is one of the best-looking new ships out there. True, she's not a floating apartment block with thousands of balconies (that's not her purpose), but she does prove that a modern day passenger vessel can be aesthetically beautiful.
