Finland's ENTWINE have issued the following update specifically for non-Finns:

"For those of you planning to go on the Spinefeast At Sea booze cruise to see us from outside Finland, and are struggling with getting tickets, this may help:

You can reserve here, but its all in Finnish: www.matkavaraus.net/spinefeast.

You have to put in your details, choose a cabin category and fill the info for each passenger (and optional bus transfer if needed) and a time for the dinner (we suggest the early siting so you don't miss any bands... or us!).

Price includes the cabin, access to the gigs, dinner and as far as we understand also breakfast this time. You can book also lunch for an extra 20 euros, but it's optional.

You will be sent an invoice for a deposit of 30 euros per reserved person, which needs to be paid within 7 days of invoicing date. The remaining sum is due 1 month before departure.

If you don't feel comfortable using the Finnish form, we recommend you send an email to puhelinmyynti@matka-vekka.fi

It shouldn't be a problem to reserve from abroad, especially from Euro-countries. Just make sure to get the international banking details off them (including an Iban number for their bank), so you can pay the invoice from a foreign bank account.

Cabin types; here are the cheapest ones...

A-class:

Outside cabins (9-10 m2) for 2 or 4 persons with window. Cabins for 2 persons are on decks 5, 8 and 9, cabins for 4 persons on deck 5. All cabins have WC, shower and LCD-TV.

B-class:

Inside cabins (9 m2) without window for 2 or 4 persons on decks 5, 8 and 9. All cabins have WC, shower and TV.

Please note: the age limit for the cruise is 18 years.

Please be advised that since this cruise travels from Helsinki to Tallinn, you might need a visa for Estonia to attend the cruise. Please check whether you need a visa before booking."
