Hotel Details

Location

The ferry departs from Helsinki, a short walk from Helsinki Cathedral and Helsinki Central Station, and 18 km from Helsinki-Vantaa Airport.
The departure point is centrally located, within easy walking distance of Helsinki Cathedral and Helsinki Central Station, giving quick access to rail and metro connections. Nearby landmarks include the Helsinki Music Centre and an ice-skating rink. The journey itself takes the ship through the archipelago - icy waters in winter - offering scenic views of the city and the Gulf of Finland. The arrival port in Tallinn is also close to the historic old town and main tourist attractions.

Accommodation

Cabins are clean, comfortable, and private, with air conditioning, private bathroom, shower, free toiletries, and a flat-screen TV.
Each cabin is fully private - no sharing with other travellers - and includes air conditioning and heating for year-round comfort. Beds are comfortable enough for a good night's sleep. Cabins with a sea-view porthole are available and provide excellent views of the sunset over Helsinki and of Tallinn at night. The cabin can be used as a resting space during the day for those doing a round trip or as a private night's rest during the one-way overnight crossing. The ferry is spacious with multiple public areas to walk around and enjoy the views.

Dining

The on-board buffet offers a wide variety of local, international, and European cuisines, with options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free diets.
The Buffet restaurant serves dinner and is family-friendly, offering a generous selection of hot and cold dishes at reasonable prices. For lighter options, there are additional dining venues: Bistro & Coffee, The Burgers (international comfort food), and Blue Deli (sandwiches and salads). A snack bar and a bar with a lounge area are also available, along with a coffee house on site. Special diet menus can be requested in advance, and kids' meals and a children's buffet are offered. Wine or champagne is available for an additional charge.

Leisure

Free entertainment includes live music, karaoke, a nightclub, a games room, a kids' club, and a children's playground.
Evening entertainment is included at no extra cost and runs from live music performances and karaoke through to a nightclub with a DJ and live sport event broadcasts. The games room provides additional activity for all ages, while children have a dedicated kids' club and an indoor play area. Outdoor sun terraces with garden furniture let passengers enjoy fresh air and sea views during the crossing. Bingo sessions and a welcome drink are also offered.
