On a skiing holiday, you can do more than skiing. Short boat trips are very popular during the school children’s winter holidays.
The family arrived at the Turku port terminal well in time, and the children had a good time waiting for an hour, placing soft toys on the sofa in the terminal.
Of course, each soft toy has its own name and a story behind it.
The ship needs passengers
Viking Glory runs from Turku via Åland to Stockholm in the mornings. Many travelers return to Turku for the evening in Mariehamn.
The moment of departure approaches and the terminal is filled with tourists. Because of the holiday week, there are plenty of travelers even on weekday mornings.
This week the school holidays have been spent in Uusimaa, Varsinais-Suomi and Satakunta. Cruisers have come on board the ship from these provinces the most.
According to Alankoja, guests are expected from other parts of Finland in the following weeks.
Safety is number one
Priska Alankoja reminds that it is good to know the safety instructions of the shipping company when coming on board. For example, edged weapons may not be brought on board.
Microwave ovens, kettles or other personal food preparation equipment should not be brought on board for safety reasons either.
Random tests are carried out in the terminal. If unauthorized items are found, they must be left in the terminal.
In the near future, a baggage screening line will also be installed in the Turku terminal.
