overnight ferry

Sleep-aboard boat passage

An overnight ferry is a passenger ship that travels between ports during nighttime hours, allowing passengers to sleep aboard during the journey.

These vessels typically offer cabin accommodations and arrive at their destination by morning: We took the overnight ferry from Helsinki to Stockholm.

Common on routes where the crossing takes eight to twelve hours.
