Viking Line Gabriella Seaside Premium Balcony LUX tour

Описание: A short cabin tour of Viking Line's Gabriella Seaside Premium Balcony LUX cabin 11107 at port of Helsinki prior to departure to Stockholm. This video was shot on September 2025. This 25 m2 cabin is a well-equipped multi-window cabin with a private balcony primarily for two people. The couch can be converted to an extra bed for either one adult or two small children. A large and highly comfortable double bed uses considerable amount of the floor area of this cabin. Equipment includes aforementioned couch in fromt of a table, small chair, a television and refrigerator with complimentary drinks included in the fare. The premium breakfast is included in the fare as well for this cabin class. The massive windows allow a lot of natural light into cabin during the summer months. The curtains dim the light well enough to make the cabin sufficiently dark when sleeping. There is a total of 14 cabins of this class on the ship. It is worth mentioning that there are four similarly equipped but slightly smaller 22 m2 cabins numbered 11100, 11101, 11112 and 11113 with angled wall and smaller balcony. Some noise can be heard from the outer deck directly above the cabin during the daytime if good weather causes other passengers to stay outside.

M/S Gabriella has been sailing with Viking Line since April 1997 on its Helsinki-Mariehamn-Stockholm line, bar the occassional special cruises and summertime tag-ons to Tallinn and docking substitutions between Turku and Stockholm. Originally delivered new in 1992 as M/S Frans Suell to Euroway AB's short-lived traffic between Malmö and Travemünde/Lübeck. Between 1994 and 1997 the ship was used in Silja Line traffic between Stockholm and Turku. One of Gabriella's distinctive features is its large and varying selection of different cabin types ranging from small bunk-bed cabins to suites and large cabins with balconies. Gabriella's direct sister ship is the 1994-built DFDS Crown Seaways - there are two other sister ships formerly operated by Viking Line sailing with somewhat different configuration. Initially a marketing company for three different Baltic Sea shipping companies, the modern day Viking Line directly descends from one of those companies, Rederi Ab Ålandsfärjan (later SF Line Abp) that renamed itself as Viking Line after becoming the only company of the participants to survive.
