I took the train-ferry option to get to Archipelacon last year. But then, I like long-distance train travel.
So, it was leave London on the Monday, Eurostar to Brussels, Thalys to Cologne. Spend the night in Cologne.
Tuesday, train to Hamburg.
Wednesday, Hamburg-Copenhagen-Stockholm. Got into Stockholm about seven in the evening.
Thursday, ferry to Aland Islands. (Very early morning ferry. Breakfast on ferry.)
The Hamburg-Copenhagen train goes on a boat at one point. The bridge between Denmark and Sweden is an interesting trip, and the Swedish countryside is very pleasant in summer.
I think I might go via Hamburg on the Travemünde-Helsinki ferry next year. I like the idea of going via Rostock, but I see that page doesn't give details and when I last checked, that ferry was no longer running.
