Everything is well organized, the crossing was calm, and the experience on the boat and in Tallinn was worth it.

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.

Beautiful ferry and ferry stations. So clean or orderly! Ferry had so many amenities as well. Highly recommend Tallinn-the medieval old city!
Dear Helen! Thank you so much! 😊 We're glad you enjoyed ferry experience. Tallinn’s Old Town really is something special—hope to see you back again soon!

I didn’t get to attend this event. I wanted to adjust the return time from Tallinn, I used support chat with a person last night. They didn’t get an answer to me until 1:10 pm. My departure was due at 10:30. I didn’t want to get on board without knowing I could come back early. So it’s too late for a refund or credit. I couldn’t take the risk getting over to Tallinn and unable to come back. Our flight in the morning is 6:20 am so getting back in 9/30 and traveling back to our stay would have left us with 4 hr sleep.

So the ferry itself each way was very nice. Think of a mini cruise ship. Shopping, area to get coffee, food. Very nice seating, and that’s just on level we were on. But, I never received the correct emails from the ferry company. So when I showed they didn’t show my reservation (I changed days, got the amended info from Viator). I had to pay again and when returned home got in touch with Viator and they promptly reimbursed me.
Hello! Thank you for your feedback—we’re really glad to hear you enjoyed the ferry experience itself. It does sound like a lovely trip. I’m very sorry for the confusion with the reservation emails and the inconvenience it caused you at check-in. That’s definitely not the experience we want for our customers. Wishing you many more smooth and enjoyable trips ahead! Kind regards, Alina/ Customer Relations Tallink Silja Line
From the port the attention is magnificent very well indicated the point of access to the boat and the boat that takes you from one point to another is spectacular you have everything from a duty free, children's area, bars, etc.

Fun way to get to Estonia. The ship is amazing and has lots to do. Getting on and off is easy. I recommend waiting when docking at the back of the ship to watch how they get the cars on and off. It is logistical genius and exciting to watch the ramps come down, the autos leave, and the next round come on. Plus you miss the masses in line to get off. Just leisurely stroll off. The trams and busses are conveniently close by. In Taliin you could take a taxi to Old Town but it is an easy 15 min walk. The employees of the cruise line are very helpful and explain things well. We would do this again just for the ferry/cruise ride back and forth.

Beautiful boat. Left on schedule. Fantastic experience. Estonia is beautiful, well worth the trip. We did the 6.5hrs and it was perfect.
