Very clean and comfortbale journey.…

Very clean and comfortbale journey. A lot of space and different seats.
For 34 euros (per adult) and 18 euros (per child), you could but an access to bufet, and eat whatever you like. There was a big choice and it was very delicious.
I recommend it to anyone who want to come to Helsinki from Tallin or the other was around :))
