I thought I might take an overnight ferry from Stockholm to Helsinki, but I haven't traveled that way before and am naive about it. I'm planning a solo journey and was aiming for a private cabin, but didn't see a way to do that on the Viking or Tallink/Silja websites. Maybe I'm just not understanding. If I have to, I can share a cabin with someone but that impacts how desirable that overnight trip would be. (Can one pay for two berths in a two-berth cabin and travel solo?) The alternative is just to take some type of cruise from Stockholm to see the archipelago and then fly to Helsinki. The answer to this obviously affects overall itinerary.

All cabins are private (unless otherwise stated).

The price you see is for the price of the cabin.
A two berth cabin can hold two people. A four berth cabin can hold four people.
Whenever I've booked an overnight ferry, I usually go for an inside two berth cabin as I'm going solo. It's only for one night and I've seen numerous outside cabins windows on the deck and you will see people constantly passing your window. The inside cabin is also quieter.

That depends on the cabin and the ship. Some ships have cabins with windows that face a promenade deck, but all ships also have cabins with windows that face the outside with nothing blocking your view.
