| The Finnish spring is short, cold and brown. Although actually this particular day was fairly warm, even if trees were not yet in bloom. |

| Notice the small logos on the hull: Silja Line is both the official seacarrier of the Moomin and the official seacarrier of Santa Claus (even if Viking Line would have a more suitable colour scheme). Before Tallink took over the company, the Santa Claus logos were only on the ships around Christmas, but Tallink have decided to keep them there all year round. |
