Just getting out of the seats requires a significant amount of effort. On the ferry though, are can walk freely around a ship from the moment you get on board. It surely looks like a very attractive offer. On modern vessels you can even find cabins that are similar in standard to cruise ships. What makes the trip even more attractive is the opportunity to visit a restaurant, cafe, cinema, shops, and even hairdressers or swimming pools.
