As the leading European provider of leisure and business travel and sea transportation services in the Baltic Sea region, the Tallink Grupp has a fleet of 14 vessels and carried nearly 10 million passengers yearly before the pandemic, to destinations across the Nordic region. The company has survived many challenges recently and is building a future with the customers\u2019 wishes in mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEach of our ships can accommodate up to 3,000 passengers and we operate routes between Helsinki and Stockholm, Helsinki and Tallinn, Turku and Stockholm, and Stockholm and Tallinn,\u201d Tahtinen said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overnight cruises from Helsinki to Stockholm and day cruises from Helsinki to the medieval Tallinn are favorites among Japanese guests, and with the pandemic waning, Tallink Silja is once again reaching out to the Japanese market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cruise ships are like shopping malls where guests can comfortably sail and shop for everything from Marimekko and Moomin to Lumene, Fazer and other popular world-famous brands. On the Silja Serenade, guests can find a one-of-a-kind floating Marimekko store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pioneering technology and innovations are driving the company forward. Our new flagship, the fast ferry MyStar, started operating on the Helsinki-Tallinn route on Dec. 13, 2022, connecting the cities in two hours. Just like its sister ship Megastar, it is partly powered by liquefied natural gas. Within the first month, MyStar served over 130,000 passengers from 140 countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sustainable materials and environment-friendly solutions have been implemented in the ship\u2019s seamless, spacious and comfortable interiors. Inviting restaurants, cafes and seating areas are tailored to the needs of business travelers and holidaymakers. MyStar provides unparalleled sea views, great shopping, cleverly designed public spaces and memorable dining experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
