Ferry to Tallinn and back - Everything was perfect on the ferry Super punctual There was even a mascot for the children Rarely traveled so well Super clean and clean toilets

Perfect day away - Perfect way to spend a day in Helsinki if you are spending a long weekend in Tallinn. It takes 2 hours to get to port of Helsinki. Easy access to city centre by trams going from outside of the terminal building to city centre. Take early ferry like 7.30 am and arrive at 9.30am and return at 4.30pm back to Tallinn. Enough time to explore Helsinki’s tourist attractions.

Family time - Great trip with kids, classy restaurants and bars, clean and well designed environment. Nice duty free and on time depwrture

Nice Easy Trip - Nice cruise to Tallinn and back. Easy boarding and accesible at both Helsinki and Tallinn. Ship is well provisioned for comfort and food. A very smooth trip indeed.

From Tallinn to Helsinki return - Independent day trip from Tallinn to Helsinki. Well organized and punctual service. Pay attention to the timetables...the entrance closes 20 minutes early and they are very strict. Clean ship, many rooms in which to comfortably spend the 2 hour journey overlooking the sea. Prices a little expensive. Once you arrive in Helsinki at the port, tram 7 takes you directly to the city center.

Day trip from Helsinki to Tallinn - After careful review of our options, we chose Tallink for our day cruise. We arrived at the terminal early to purchase tickets and were accommodated quickly. We left at 10:30 am and returned at 1630 pm. While it was only a few hours in Tallinn we felt it was sufficient for us. The MegaStar had a beautiful garden deck that we sat in before spending lots of time shopping. We took the Star back and it was okay in comparison. The food was mediocre at best for both boats but overall we had a great experience

Great day trip to Tallinn from Helsinki on the ferry - Travelled to Tallinn for the day from Helsinki. Boarded 730am crossing to Tallinn. Although ticket purchase is done online, we were able to buy tickets at the terminal. Ticket purchase was possible at a counter or via kiosk machine, but we opted for the counter. Operator was friend and courteous and quickly processed our tickets and cross checked our passports. Within minutes we had paid ( no cash transaction) and moved to the departure area. Terminal was spotless and easy to walk around, well signposted. Boarding was easy and efficient and journey on Mystar vessel was enjoyable. Ship journey was comfortable and we were able to buy breakfast onboard. Plenty of meal and drink options at reasonable prices. Our return journey from Tallinn was on the Megastar vessel, which again was a great experience. Return cross was at 130pm and so we ate lunch on the ship. Again the meal options were plentiful and reasonably priced. Being that this is an international journey, there was a duty free shop on these ships as well. We were staying on the east side of Helsinki city and getting to the ferry terminal (terminal 2) was very easy using the Trams metro and the HSL app. In Tallinn, the terminal is within walking distance from the old town city,which was very convenient. Overall it was a great experience

En upplevelse för stora och små - Have gone on this cruise about 12 times in 15 years and I have to divide my rating to make it as fair as the beginning. Silja Serenade/Sympfony are very nice boats to go on and everything feels modern, although at least one of the boats was built in 1990. The staff are service minded and knowledgeable. There are plenty of activities to do on board, i.e. both performances and shopping, and you sleep relatively well if you choose the walk-in cabins. The fact that you then have a few hours to stroll around Finland (Even visiting Sea Life) makes the trip really enjoyable. So of course I can recommend a cruise with this company, you will not be disappointed. For this I give the company a rating of 5 The food, This trip we chose the buffet option as we had children with us and there is plenty of food in varying flavors but it still feels quite basic. but the advantage of this is that there are both starters and desserts and you are guaranteed to be full when you leave. Luxury the breakfast is fantastic For this I give the rating 4 But now to the negative, with my travels in the background, I have noticed constant deterioration in the quality of the luxury restaurants at both Sympfony/Serenade and that it is constantly getting more expensive to shop for both food and duty free. Before, you went to earn a little money in the duty free, but it's basically impossible now. Some types of alcohol are cheaper at the system company and the sweets are insanely expensive. But what annoys me the most is that 1 liter of water costs SEK 60 and it's pure usury (I'm not familiar with clothes, make-up, perfumes so I can't judge this but I assume it's the same price picture as the rest of the products sold The bar on the boat has the same prices as in Sweden, so I give it a 2 In conclusion, I just want to say that it is still a fantastic activity to go with the family. Not having to stress without the boat taking you where you need to go and back Har åkt denna kryssning ca 12 gånger på 15 år och jag måste dela upp mitt betyg för att det skall vara så rättvist som början. Silja Serenade/Sympfony är väldigt trevliga båtar att åka på och allt känns modernt fast åtminstonde en av båtarna är byggda 1990. Personalen är serviceminded och kunniga. Det finns gott om aktiviteter att göra ombord dvs både uppträdanden och shopping och man sover relativt gott om man väljer promenadhytterna. Att man sedan har några timmar att strosa runt i Finland ( Till och med besöka Sea Life) gör ju resan riktigt trevlig. Så visst jag kan rekommendera en kryssning med detta bolag ni kommer inte att bli besvikna på det. För detta ger jag bolaget betyget 5 Maten, Denna resa så valde vi buffe alternativet då vi hade barn med och det finns gott om mat i varierande smaker men det känns ändå ganska basic. men fördelen med detta är att det finns både förrätter och efterrätter och man är garanterat mätt när man går därifrån. Lyx frukosten är fantastisk För detta ger jag betyget 4 Men nu till det negativa, med mina resor i bakgrunden så har jag märkt ständiga försämringar i kvalite på lyxrestaurangerna på både SYmpfony/Serenade samt att det blir ständigt dyrare att handla både mat o taxfree. Förut åkte man för att tjäna sig en liten slant i taxfreen men det är i princip omöjligt nu. Vissa sorters alkohol är billigare på systembolaget och godiset är sjukt dyrt. Men det som retar mig mest är att 1 liter vatten kostar 60 kr och det är rent ocker (kläder, smink, parfymer är jag inte insatt i så jag kan inte bedöma detta men jag antar att det håller samma prisbild som resten av produkterna som säljs. Baren på båten håller samma priser som i Sverige för detta ger jag betyget 2 Sammanfattningsvis så vill jag bara säga att det är ändå en fantastisk aktivitet att åka med familjen. Att inte behöva stressa utan båten tar en dit man skall och tillbaka

Tallin winter day tour experience - This is a self guided tour. You are on your own from the very beginning. Check-in at Helsinki terminal requires confirmation and security numbers. You should go to the counter to complete the check-in and get boarding passes. Once at Tallin, you are again on your own. Better to build an itinerary in advance depending on the trip duration. Uber works. Most of the tourist attractions are at the city centre. Good place for shopping. A bit cheaper compared to Helsinki. Sinsay store at Ülemiste keskus is a good place for clothing and accessories/shoes.

Poor Experience with Customer Service - Horrible customer service. Had our flight from Miami to Helsinki cancelled and next available flight was 3 days later, which ruined a majority of our trip. All of our activities we were going to miss refunded our money except this cruise line. Tried them several times on the phone with no answer and then finally spoke to them through email. I’m sure the cruise is fine, but if something goes wrong good luck speaking to anyone who wants to help you. They just tell you to deal with travel insurance vs trying to help make the situation right when it was the airlines fault fully cancelling our flight. I would choose any other cruise line due to this.
