The Journey Begins: Setting Sail from Tallinn

Starting your day in Tallinn means heading to the D-Terminal in Uus-Sadama. The process is straightforward, especially with priority check-in that gets you onto the ship quickly. Once onboard, your first glimpse of the voyage is from the Business Lounge, located at the front of the vessel. This part of the ship is designed for travelers who want to relax, work, or simply enjoy the scenery without the hustle and bustle of the main deck.

The Tallink Lounge in Terminal D in Tallinn is also accessible, giving you a comfortable waiting area before departure. The premium Wi-Fi is a highlight here, allowing you to catch up on messages or plan your Helsinki itinerary even before the ship departs. Daily newspapers add a touch of sophistication, and the speedy Wi-Fi keeps you connected throughout the crossing.

The ferry crossing itself takes about 2 hours, which is perfect for unwinding or enjoying a quick snack before arriving in Helsinki. The ships—Tallink’s MyStar and Megastar—are modern and clean, with a reputation for being eco-friendly and awarded the Sustainable Travel Finland label. That means you’re traveling in a way that’s considerate of the environment, which we appreciate in today’s travel landscape.

The Business Lounge Experience

Once aboard, the Business Lounge elevates the journey. It’s spacious and tranquil, with stunning sea views that you can enjoy from almost every seat. This area is ideal if you’re looking to relax, work, or just escape the crowds. The lounge offers fast Wi-Fi, newspapers, and a variety of seating options—perfect for catching up on reading or simply soaking in the ocean vistas.

What sets this experience apart is the unlimited access to high-quality food and beverages. You can indulge in hot and cold dishes, with options including vegan choices, and sip on wine, beer, or spirits. During the crossing, we found the buffet-style setup to be quite good, with fresh, tasty offerings that made the two-hour voyage feel more like a gourmet break than just transit.

Many travelers mention how relaxing and well-organized the onboard experience is. One review states, “The quiet atmosphere in the lounge and the quality of the food made the crossing a real pleasure,” which echoes what many others have appreciated about this trip.

Exploring Helsinki: Your Day at Leisure

Upon arrival in Helsinki, you’re given up to 10 hours to explore the Finnish capital. This is a generous window that lets you design your perfect day—whether that’s wandering through Senate Square, admiring the architecture of the Oodi Library, or browsing the boutiques in Punavuori.

Helsinki’s seaside charm combined with its modern design scenes makes it a rewarding city to walk around. The city’s efficient transport links and compact layout mean you can see a lot in a short time. If you’re into culture, you might visit the Rock Church or catch a glimpse of the modern architecture. For those with more of a relaxed appetite, cozy cafes or a lakeside stroll can be equally enjoyable.

When it’s time to head back, your return cruise is just as comfortable. You’ll again have access to the Business Lounge, where you can help yourself to another meal or drink as the sun sets over the Baltic. The priority disembarkation process means you won’t be waiting in line, making your return smooth and hassle-free.

The Value of This Experience

Considering the cost of the ticket—which covers ferry transport, the Business Lounge, unlimited food and drinks, and priority disembarkation—it offers excellent value. The luxury of unlimited access to quality food and beverages combined with the comfort of the lounge makes it feel like a true upgrade from standard ferry trips.

Plus, travelers have noted the ships’ modern, eco-friendly design as a plus, aligning with more sustainable travel values. The flexible schedule and the option to reserve and pay later add to the practicality, especially if your plans might change.
