Silja Symphony

2 Reviews - Write a Review

Operated by Tallink Silja on the Helsinki Mariehamn, Helsinki Stockholm & Mariehamn Stockholm routes

The Silja brand is synonymous with luxury travel and with her superb facilities the Silja Symphony does not disappoint. Walk along the Promenade, the heart of the ship, and experience the atmosphere of a central European pedestrian street. Pop into shops, enjoy delicious tapas, take a minute to watch the entertainment and then retire to a wine bar for a drink.

Silja Symphony

"Superb!"

Reviewed 13 October 2011 by Karen

My friend and I travelled from Helsinki to Stockholm on the Symphony and from the moment we walked onto the gang plank it felt like more of a cruise, than a ferry crossing! From the massive themed atrium full of shops and "street" entertainment such as singers and jugglers, to the glass lifts which take you to your decks - it was very impressive. As cabins go they were pretty standard, had everything needed for an overnight trip and were comfortable with en-suite facilities. The staff were extremely friendly especially in the bars, they would engage you in banter whilst you waited for drinks. The buffet restaurant was amazing, had every type of food you could think of from salads, to curries to chicken fajitas and nachos! Even better than the food choice was that beer and wine was included, and was self-service! After dinner and a few cocktails in one of the bars, we went to watch the midnight show - which was fabulous, and thoroughly engaging. The disco bar goes on until dawn, where the youngster’s party continue their party! The ship was first class, had excellent facilities and I would not hesitate to travel again if I was ever back in Helsinki or Stockholm.

"Hi from France"

Reviewed 23 November 2011 by GRITHER

I travelled on board the Symphony several times, everything is perfect on this beautiful ferry, many shops with professional and extremely kind staff, entertainment is high quality, cabins are very clean and well-appointed (mirrors, electrical outlets properly located, storage, very functional lighting). Everything is done to satisfy the customer and I wish to travel on board again soon. Thanks!

Onboard Cabins / Reserved Seating

There’s a huge choice of cabins onboard the Silja Symphony ranging from standard inside cabins with bunk beds to luxury suites. All cabins are en-suite, air conditioned and contain a wardrobe, hair dryer, radio and telephone.

Onboard Food and Drink

In the restaurants onboard the Silja Symphony you’ll find delicious dishes to suit all tastes. Skilful creations are on offer at the fine dining Bon Vivant restaurant, there’s famous seafood platters at the Happy Lobster fish restaurant and a ’Captain’s Sword’ skewer in El Capitán. You’ll also find an extensive menu at Bistro Maxime which includes a selection of both traditional and modern dishes or head to the Silja Buffet to fill your plate with roe, shrimps, traditional island dishes or tapas. For a snack try the quick and easy Mundo restaurant on the promenade.

Head to Promenade Bar for a relaxing drink with friends or Keulabaari is ideal for sipping a glass of bubbly while enjoying the fabulous views. For a taste of England in the Baltic try the Old Port Pub - an authentic English pub specialising in beer, cider and whisky.

The New York Club & Lounge is somewhere to enjoy your favourite cocktails and listen to live piano music (starts the moment the ship departs). Later in the evening the place is taken over by karaoke fans and around midnight transforms into a club filled with a lively party crowd. The resident DJ plays the hottest club music and the latest hits.
