About LEGO Silja Line Ferry
LEGO Silja Line Ferry (set #1998) is a detailed build with 376 pieces from the Promotional theme, released in 1991. The Promotional line features exclusive promotional and gift-with-purchase sets. This is a moderate-level build suitable for ages 8+, with an estimated build time of 1-2 hours. This set dates from the 1990s, a turbulent decade when LEGO launched Star Wars and Mindstorms while navigating financial difficulties.
Set Highlights
- 376 pieces at moderate complexity — a 1-2 hours build.
- Compatible with all standard LEGO sets — bricks extend naturally into other sets you own.
- Display-focused design — the finished model holds together well on a shelf without support.
- Vintage 1991 release — increasingly rare in complete, unplayed condition.
Who Is This Set For?
Gift for Ages 8+

Weekend Build Project
376 pieces with an estimated 1-2 hours fits comfortably into a focused afternoon or weekend session.
Expanding a Promotional Collection
A solid addition for collectors building out their Promotional shelf. Introduces parts and builds that complement other sets from the same line.
Build Tips
A five-minute sort by color or piece type before starting saves time hunting for specific bricks mid-step.
Follow the numbered steps in sequence — structural elements early in the build support everything that comes after.
Vintage sets may show slight color variation from modern LEGO due to different ABS formulas. This is normal and part of the set's character, not a defect.
