Ferries are sea transport in the form of boat or ship that carries passengers, cargo and sometimes vehicles. It is a type of public transportation that has been around for centuries. It is a cheaper way to travel from one point to another, but lately a trip through a ferry is made not only for financial consideration but for leisure as well. Today's ferries or cruise ships are more efficient and mostly built with the passenger's convenience in mind, and some big ones can accommodate hundreds of passengers, baggage and vehicles in one time. Ferries usually operate on frequent return service. Ferry rides are a relaxing way to travel and to see the sights along the way. One of the world's best ferry destinations is Sweden.
