Great trip! Lovely boat, easy to find and navigate the port, quick crossing and easy to get to the old town in Tallinn on arrival. The return trip just as good!

Good means of transportation to/from Tallinn. I just wish the location of the ferry departure in Tallinn was more explicitly indicated in the tour description or the ticket confirmation email. We had to scramble to find it in all of the communications in order to find it on our way back to the port.

For two hours each way, we never got bored with shops and restaurants of all types. It's a big ship with quite a few seats, but it was a bit difficult to find one because it was summer on season. I had to show my passport at the service counter to confirm my registration and get my TripAdvisor ticket and barcode issued because I can't check in at the machine.

It was a sunny day in the summer in Finland. It was time to cruise to Tallinn with a friend. We were on a shopping tour. We ordered an excellent buffa with shrimps, salmon and other fish and meat starters. As main menu I ate codfish and rise and meat balls. As dessert different cakes and ice cream. Good. After the dinner we made our shopping.

Beautiful ship with shops and restaurants for all tastes. The old town of Tallinn is worth a visit and can be reached on foot from the port.

Great day trip. Ship was comfortable, clean and run professionally. On time coming and going. I went on the earliest departure and came back on the last transfer.
