The Baltic Sea – The night sky over the Baltic Sea shines bright as arms sway to the rhythm of pulsating music on the decks, while spilled drinks stick to the soles of dancing shoes. Finnish ferries, often referred to as floating pleasure palaces, are known for offering an exhilarating experience where people celebrate and indulge in uninhibited enjoyment. However, behind the veneer of euphoria and love for the sea lies a darker reality of sexual assault and excessive drunkenness.
Swedish publication Expressen recently embarked on a day-long journey on Viking Line’s party ship, Cinderella, to shed light on the duality of these cruises. The aim was to uncover both the enchanting allure of the sea and the murky underbelly of these vessels.
During their investigative voyage, Expressen correspondents had the opportunity to interact with both the crew members and the passengers, attempting to capture the essence of life on these floating cities.
Moa Isaksson, 24, a participant in this year’s season of “Biggest Loser” and one of the many revelers on board, shared her experience, describing it as “feeling like a city on the water.” Her sentiment reflects the vibrant, lively atmosphere that pervades these floating paradises, where passengers take a break from their routine lives and immerse themselves in the festive aura.
However, amidst the festivities, the article did not shy away from addressing the darker aspects that plague these cruises. Finnish party ferries have gained notoriety for incidents of rape and excessive alcohol consumption. While the majority of passengers enjoy their time responsibly, the excessive indulgence of some often leads to unfortunate consequences.
Expressen’s intention was to bring attention to these pressing issues and to highlight the urgency of addressing them. By raising awareness, the publication aims to prompt the concerned authorities to take appropriate action and implement measures to ensure the safety and well-being of all passengers.
As the night drew to a close and Cinderella docked back at its port, Expressen left no stone unturned in its quest to provide a balanced perspective of life aboard these Finnish party ferries. The article serves as a reminder that beneath the allure of a carefree night at sea lies a pressing need to confront the challenges faced by both passengers and crew members.
Ultimately, the hope is that with increased awareness and proactive measures, these pleasure palaces can transform into environments where everyone can revel in the joy of the sea without fear of harassment or the perils associated with excessive alcohol consumption.
