Super experience! - I loved this cruise! We checked in and collected our boarding passes 45 minutes before departure, and spent a wonderful journey exploring the ship! The Baltic Sea and the scenery around is just beautiful. Tallinn is a wonderful city to roam and explore both the historical and the modern. I thought this trip offered major value for money.

Fabulous Ferry - This was amazing! The ship had everything you could possibly need and want. I traveled with 3 kids to Estonia on the 2-hr ferry. We ended up having dinner on the ferry ride back to Finland. Everything was perfect! I would definitely recommend to families traveling with children.

Day trip to Tallin - Great day trip to Tallin. Ferry terminal on both sides very easy to find. Getting on/off ferry really easy and plenty to do on the ferry during the crossing. Enormous duty free section!

Very nice unplanned bonus on our Helsinki city trip - We booked a sailing directly with Tallink departing at 10.30 h and a retreat arriving at 9.30 h, which gave us 7 hours effective time in Talinn. The boat trip is fantastic, you can have a nice breakfast, lunch and dinner and you can also shop duty-free in a very large store with a large range. Everything is very neat and well maintained, including the West Terminal 2 in Helsinki and the D-Terminal in Talinn. Fifteen minutes walk from the terminal in the old town of Talinn. The 7 hours gave us ample time to explore Talinn and dine there, which we also found very rewarding. This boat trip was also really the bonus of our city trip to Helsinki, because it was not planned and it remains something special to do.

Beautiful ship to visit a beautiful town - The Tallink ship, offered at a great price, is magnificent. A real cruise ship, with many shops, bars, lounges, relaxation areas, children's play area. To allow me to reach Tallinn, a pretty town on the shores of the Baltic. The only drawback: the ship always leaves in advance of the scheduled time.

Another wheelchair adventure - This is a cruise line that really excels in service, food and design. We have never been taken care of by staff as we were on this trip. I was amazed at how well they managed to communicate with everyone. Since this a European line, at least half of the passengers were not from the US. The food was sensational, and there were five restaurants to choose from with very different and eclectic menus. The surroundings were very elegant and the size of the ship (around 900) made it easy to get around. No slides, no race cars, and I only saw 3 toddlers all week. Now, the things I need to talk about because my wife uses a wheelchair. I think there are 5 pools, and none of them are really accessible. There is one pool with a lift, but you need to get a crew member to operate it. I think this takes away the freedom and feeling of independence if you want to use a pool. Two of our stops require using a tender that just didn't seem to be ideal. Also, once ashore it was just beach to navigate. Getting around the ship was no problem and there was no problem in any of the restaurants with seating. All in all I would recommend this cruise for its service, food and flair.
