The ferries crossing the sea between Stockholm and Helsinki are notorius for on-board alcohol-induced shenanigans. It takes about 12 hours from Stockholm to Finland and most passengers opt for a Nordic buffet with a disco and a lot of booze afterwards. The ferry terminals are very close to Helsinki city centre, which makes the ferries convenient for a day trip. That is, if you can get out of bed the next morning.
Gardet subway station is 500 metres from the ferry terminal or there is a bus which connects the ferry terminal with the City Terminal, near the main railway station.
Stockholm Vartan terminal, Sodra Hamnvagen 46.
