You may view all of their rooms, the caption's room, the kitchen, the anchor room, and other locations. Having a detailed look at all these locations is pretty amazing. You may tour the larger ship, Sankt Erik, and take a look inside its huge engine room to view everything in detail. Seeing every part of the ships in detail was a very...
