My train trip through Europe also involved one boat ride, from Turku to Stockholm. A day boat... arriving just in time in Stockholm for the night train. But, more importantly, the boat had three nice things going for it: (1) a cabin included in the ridiculously low 30€ price, nice for conference calls and naps, (2) decent restaurants to eat at, and (3) a spa with several saunas and pools, all with views of the archipelago as we were sailing towards Marienhamn.
The boat I was on was Viking Line's Viking Glory, a brand new 2022 ship with energy efficient engines and spectacular insides. Not bad!
The spa visit cost only 24€ for two hours, and was well worth it. There was a hot Finnish sauna on both men's and women's side, a shared sauna with large windows, and a shared steam room. There were two large jacuzzis and one large pool with bed-like resting platforms, all right next to windows to at the front of the ship.

I never take photos of other saunagoers or swimmers and visit when there is simply no one else or the facility has been closed or booked only for me.
