Crossings · FINLAND FERRY TRIPS
Good finland ferry trips fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 4 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Ride Tallink’s MyStar or Megastar from Tallinn’s D-Terminal to Helsinki’s West Terminal 2 in about two hours. You get a return ticket, reserved seating, Wi-Fi, restaurants, lounges, shops, and up to 10 hours to explore Helsinki independently. No guide or city transfers are included.
“Great way to have a day trip to Helsinki from Tallinn! Comfy ferry with everything you need”
Spend a full day crossing from Helsinki to Tallinn by ferry, then tour the Old Town with an English, Spanish, German, or Italian-speaking guide. Expect Toompea Castle, Aleksander Nevski Cathedral, viewing points, port transfers, and nearly three hours to explore independently.
“Sergei, the guide did a very good job. Lots of information and a good sense of humor. Good mix of guided tour and time on your own to eat and explore.”
This 11-hour Helsinki day trip pairs a round-trip ferry with a guided walk through Tallinn’s Upper and Lower Old Town. Guides such as Darja, Kareena, and Svetlana lead the history tour, with free time for lunch, shopping, and independent exploring before the transfer back to the harbor.
“She had equipment that did not work, so could not hear what she was saying only half had working equipment. At the end of tour we had time in the old city for 4 hours to walk around. It was two much time, the shops all had the same things. You had time for lunch maybe 1 hr and to look around the shops 1 hr, 2 hrs of nothing to do. It was very cold when there so it was uncomfortable. The cruise ship on return took 2 1/2 hrs, so returned at 9pm.”
Start with Helsinki sights such as Oodi, the Olympic Stadium, Sibelius Monument, and two cathedrals, then take a ferry to Suomenlinna. Sergio is among the praised guides. Expect a shared group of up to 21, Finnish flavor tastings, city transport, and plenty of walking.
“Had a wonderful tour of the highlights with a very patient and knowledgeable guide, Sergio. Very nicely paced tour of the sites and walked around a few and given time to explore. Then the ferry ride to Suomenlinna and an excellent overview of the history and timeline there.”
