Ornöfärjan

Amazing

It's a ferry and takes me back and forth

The M/S Ebba, which operates the route in high season, is a large ferry (approx. 35 passenger cars) built for the waters around Norway. As a result of the ferry's past with traffic on ferry routes fully exposed to the waves of the Atlantic, the side walls of the ferry are quite high and the view from the car is minimal during the crossing (which takes 25 minutes). However, it is possible to go out onto the upper deck to admire the view and there are generous passenger spaces indoors. Those of normal height can also look out over the flaps at both ends of the ferry while standing on deck. For this we have to thank whoever decided that the bow visor the ferry was equipped with during its time on the Atlantic should be removed when it was moved to calmer waters in the Stockholm archipelago. The M/S Ornö Kurir, which is a reserve ferry in high season and regular in low season, is slightly smaller (approx. 25 passenger cars) and was originally built for Finnish waters. This ferry only has small passenger spaces inside, on the other hand you can stay in the car and enjoy the scenery from there during the crossing as you can see out over the side walls of the ferry.
