"Immer eine Reise wert"
Zu meinem jährlichen Aufenthalt in Helsinki gehört immer ein Tagestrip nach Tallin mit einem der schönen Viking Schiffe Gemütlich,sauber,gutes Essen,gute Unterhaltung
"Viking line, Tallinn-Helsinki"
Tallinn terminal easy to navigate, ship on time, took own food so can't comment on catering or staff, not many passengers so some facilities were closed.
"Dirty rooms, dirty ship."
Nice and easy trip but terrible cabins, very small and very dirty. For return trip we have been put in used and uncleanned room. Otherwise everything else was OK.
"Tallinn-Helsinki passage with XPRS"
First time since a long time ago on a ferry so all went very well for me and the passage was so smooth !
"Calm ride and perfectly on time"
It's beautiful ship overall. Perhaps it only lacks some real resting areas, where you could doze of for a couple of hours.
"First Time on Luxury Car ferry of over 8 floors "
Amazing , comfortable , clean , multiple activities, good food and DJ with dancing floors . Everything was just beautiful specially the sun deck
"Day trip to Talinn from Helsinki"
Excellent service, fast, efficient, courteous..Lots of comfortable spaces on the ship..Wifi was a little sketchy, but other than that, excellent way to get to Estonia.
"Excellent experience Helsinki -Taalin"
Very good
"Seating in the Viking"
The Viking unfortunately was a great ferry to get us over to Helsinki but failed in other areas. Food shops were closed so not many breakfast options. People lying across the comfy chairs so not many options to sit on but the empty hard wooden chairs of the closed restaurants. Staff should control this, and you offer sleeping cabins so unacceptable to me. Toilet I used - 2 stalls, one was not working and the other was out of toilet paper.
"It was awful"
You should understand, most people do not want ‘entertainers’ and magic shows for the children and karaoke. As an adult, I would have preferred peace and quiet
"Good trip"
Everything is ok, I can recommend Viking Line !
"Smooth Crossing"
What a pleasure to travel to Estonia on your ferry. It was smooth journey, from the booking to the disembarking! We will certainly use your ferries again.
"Excellent "
Very straightforward with good facilities.
"Fun on the Ferry"
We had a fabulous time on the ferry. We liked it so much that my husband joked that we should go back to Finland and take it again. The facilities were great and the music was fantastic. I highly recommend forgetting the airplane and take the ferry!
"Very Good "
The whole things was seamless, buying the tickets, finding the port, check-in and the journey were all very seamless and surprisingly easy. The boat itself was amazing, with many facilities, though i do recommend trying to get on first to get a seat near the window. Overall, very comfortable and seamless trip, i would definitely do it again.
"Party Bus"
Party bus....
"First Time Travler"
I would suggest you should have a section dedicated to first time travelers. As a first time I got lost how is the seating arrangement, which floor should we go and sit erc. It would had been ideal if I was able to get the necessary I formation from your site or from your email, I think this I initiative will deeply help the first timers.
"Enjoyable "
Easy boarding. Journey was enjoyable. Plenty of eateries to choose from. Prices were reasonable.
"Less inexpensive option"
Using direct ferries price was less expensive than directly on the ferries website !
"Efficient service, shame about the food and lack of directions from staff"
It was easy to find the Viking terminal and the check in process and on-boarding was good. I expect a lot of folk using the ferry are regulars but as new folk we didn't know about the luggage room or that we needed to use it if we wanted to eat in the restaurant. By the time that was open and we were told the luggage room was closed up and no staff were around to help. It also wasn't clear where to go once on board or indeed where to go when we landed, not speaking the language of the announcements. The ferry service was very efficient and the general ambience and cleanliness good. We ate in a restaurant (set menu/buffet). The staff were a bit short with us probably expecting us to know how the restaurant worked but as new customers we didn't. We had to pay before we could enter and see the available food. It was expensive especially seeing as there wasn't much there - maybe things ran out early. I'd certainly expected that we'd have a better choice of vegetables with a carvery.
"Very happy with my experience "
Everything about the trip went well, we had a very nice cabin with sea view, delicious food and very friendly staff
"September"
All very good, smooth organisation, good food on board.
"Check-in does NOT finish 90 minutes before departure"
Direct Ferries gives the wrong info on the voucher. They only start boarding with about half an hour to go. The Viking ferry itself was fine - the same sort of thing you’d get going from the UK to France. The topmost inside deck is the best one as it has the higher ceilings. Don’t go up to the top 2 unless you want to be cold, they’re outdoors!
"Smelly room"
Room 6606 was very smelly. I felt that I was in public bathroom. They gave us a room on the way back which was good. I really like the ship and would recommend it but I would like my money back from one way experience to Tallin. Please help me to get in touch with whoever in charge of this situation
"Tallin helsinki "
Very good
"Helsinki to Tallinn and return with Viking Ferries."
Although we were able to find seats we thought it unusual that there was no dedicated seating area. So we were in the nightclub with childrens entertainment and Bingo on the way out and sat in one of the cafes on the way back. Both legs were late morning on different though similar ferries. Terminal buildings at both ends are modern with good facilities. Paperwork from direct Ferries urges you to get to the terminal 90 minutes beforehand but Viking advised 45 minutes which was plenty. The ships do quite a quick turnaround and foot passengers board about 20 mins before sailing.
"Helsinki to Tallinn"
Good food at reasonable prices. Good entertainment.
"sailing from TAllin to HElsinki"
I have never sailed by such a huge ferry, so it was amazing for me. We were with our kid and I think it was a life long expereience for him too. evrything was fantastic. But I would change two things if I could: your information email contains numerous faleso info. You say: the last check in is 90 minute prior the departure. It is not true! our ferry left at 8: am, we did not know how much time is from our home to the port, so we arrived to the port at about 6:00 am. And nothing happened, so we could let our kid sleep at least one more hour. There is no word mentioned about that when you return you should not check in once more. We were hurrying to get back to the port in time- but later than in the morning, and it was totally unnecessary. There is one more false info: you need a passport. I had almost cancelled the trip because we have no passport only ID. one of them were checked! So please refresh your info letter containing the relevant info.
"All professionally boarded and sailed."
The Viking Line took us from Tallinn to Helsinki, it left on time and arrived on time. The breakfast they provided was ample and the selection was varied.
"Superb service"
Check in was very quick and efficient. The ship left 5 minutes early and arrived on time. Food looked good although a little expensive. Plenty of places to sit and relax on board although the seating is not particularly comfortable. All in all a cheap and effective way to travel.
"Good trip !! "
Viking is the best!! Low price and good crew!
"Great experience!"
We had a couple of great trips with Viking Line between Helsinki and Tallin. Very clean, punctual, and fun area for kids to keep themselves busy.
"Trip Tallinn - Helsinki"
Punctual departure and arrival, comfortable.
"Onto Tallinn"
You never think they’ll be able to board 1,000+ people in 20 minutes (or so) and still be able to depart on time... but they do it!
"Relaxed and straight forward trip"
We really enjoyed travelling on the ferry and had no issues.
"Smooth trip"
Spacious modern boat
"review"
it was perfect
"The travel was amazing."
Is my second time using Viking Line and I love this company, its punctual, its clean, you can find a lot of different things to buy and in a good price. I recommend to use this company if you want to have a good travel :)
"Good and comfortable"
The journey was comfortable and on-time. I recommend it to anyone who wishes to travel from Tallinn to Helsinki.
"Never told me time was changed "
When I turned up for this ferry crossing I found that it had changed and you never advised me of this. I have written to you already but you still haven’t replied. I had to buy another ticket so please provide refund. Viking line was fine. Next time I will book direct with them.
"Cruise"
It was amazing trip with this kind of ship. Especially i like club X music so much. Hope to see you again
"A nice trip "
A lovely quick jaunt over to tallin! Comfortable seating and a nice bar service. Staff were extremely lovely and I enjoyed the facilities. I have already recommended it to others!
"Pleasent Travel"
We had no problem during, before or after the trip. Everything went as expected.
"Solo traveller"
Very efficient and left on time..actually early! Very good prices. The only thing the seats were so uncomfortable. I asked a staff member if there were non wooden chairs...I was directed to slightly better ones but still way too uncomfortable.
"A fun trip."
This was an enjoyable trip. It was efficiently organised. Plenty of entertainment on board during the journey. Nice visit to Tallin. I would recommend this on a trip to Helsinki.
"Great!"
Everything great, absolutely satisfied
"Nice trip"
Viking line is very good in their services and the trip is awesome!
"Fix the wifi"
WiFi was down for the whole trip. Please fix that.
"Super"
First time I have spent time on the sundeck without smoke form cigarets and first time there were benches and tables. Olny nobady can say me what I can do with card which I have recived on chek-in. On the card was info. about 25% discount but no info how get it.
"Very enjoyable experience"
This was the first time we have done a ferry crossing and we were very pleasantly surprised. Spacious ship with lots of facilities. Comfortable trip with no hassle. Thank you le
"Great for the price"
Does what it says on the tin!
"A great way to travel"
The ferry was comfortable, prompt, plenty of room for everyone and loads of things to do.
"Enjoyable service"
We took a day trip to Tallinn from Helsinki. Both boat rides were pleasant, with a good timely service. the cafeteria is pretty good for those that want to eat on board. the shopping possibilities are extensive, including a good range of wine that cannot easily be found in either finland, sweden or estonia.
"Helsinki to Tallin"
Check-in was seamless, disembarkation was swift. The facilities on board were really good and everything ran to time.
"Value in Scandanavia"
We took a day trip from Helsinki to Tallin and returen. Excellent value and a great ship.
"Negotiating Tallin"
The booking was easy and painless. The trip itself was also easy and painless. However finding the correct departure point in Tallin was a complete nightmare. Fortunately we had the foresight and time to check it out the day before. Had we arrived on the day and been tight for time we would most certainly have missed the sailing. The booking conformation told us terminal B. There were only two signs in tallin that mentioned B and in the end it was terminal A that we sailed form. SORT IT OUT, ITS A MESS. This is why you are not getting a 10
"Helsinki To Tallinn"
Very efficient service & clean and tidy ship
"Wrong information"
Direct Ferries sent us an e-mail on behalf of Viking Line informing us that the ship would now leave at 1030 and not 1130 and that latest check in was now 0900; So got hotel to do early breakfast and reached Viking line at 0745. Only to be alone in check in queue because someone at Direct Ferries got it wrong. Check in OPENED at 0900 and not last check in at 0900 as we had been informed
"Not for beginners !"
The trip on the see was all right, nothing to complain about ! But the Tallin-port was a nerv-breaking experience ! The information on where to go is, if not totally missing, at least very hard to find. I looked for terminal B and there was absolutely no information to find it ! Terminal A was marked on signes and terminal B was apparently on the same way. Is it so hard to write "terminal B" on the signs to !! Now I know where to go so next time will be a lot easier but when you are in a hurry and stressed you should not need to ask every one around you in the que for information ( we were all unshure about where to go !) , there was no personal from Viking Line around to ask , fortunately there was a lady from Eckerö Line who gave info on where to go ! Once lined up in the rihgt place everything worked fine . PS - the parking area in front of the mainbuildings is in dire need of someone who knows how to organize a parking lot ! This was a lot of complaining but otherwise everything else worked just fine, no more complaints. I will use Viking Line again but they really need to do some basic legwork !
"Not what I was expecting."
Not what I was expecting for a short hop across the Baltic! The ship was huge with plenty of facilities to eat, drink and entertainment. It made the journey crossing super quick.
"Viking Line is ok for a trip"
Viking Line is comfortable, clean ship for a trip.
"review"
The trip was interesting. I used to travel with ferry from Germany to Sweden, but t was a very calm experience, people behaved like stoned fishes. This trip looked like a carnival... Maybe it was weird that the half of the finnish passangers were drunk, or playing slots, but no problem with it. maybe one little problem I can mention, the lack of seats for low price passangers.
"Nice trip - just a shame about the drunks"
Had a really nice experience with Viking Lines. Travelled with them from Helsinki to Talinn for a day trip. Nice ship, nice facilities. Some lounge area with couches would be nice though since it is quite a long time on board. What I didnt like is the drunk people that were amongst the passengers. Some got absolutely shit faced and were scary and uncomfortable to be around. It was a weird sight to see people with trolleys full of alcohol. Felt a bit like a springbreak party ship at times. But luckily the ship was big enough to get away from that particular crowd.
"Quick and easy "
Nice clean ship good facilities not overcrowded plenty of places to sit and eat and a very picturesque crossing. Food can be hit or miss avoid the coronation chicken. Arrive at tallin port walking distance to the old town about 15 mins.
"All good"
All good
"Smooth sailing"
The ferry ride was smooth & prompt. It was very busy but I found a seat. Boat was clean. The booking through Direct Ferries was poor. They told me the ferry departed half an hour before it actually did then advised I must check in 90 minutes prior to the sailing. So, I wasted two hours of my time waiting when I could have been exploring. Don't book through Direct Ferries, instead go directly to the ferry company and it will also be cheaper.
"Thank you "
Thank you for nice experience on board of your ferry !
"Horrible"
It arrive late to the harbour and we arrived 1 hour late also. Anyone knew anithing and we lost money of the bus we couldn't take.
"My viking line experience"
Great experience. All facilities on board from shopping to restaurants at great prices.
"Estupendo viaje"
Todo perfecto, poco que añadir. Puntualidad, buenos barcos, comodidad, rapidez, buen equipamiento.
"Great Trip"
Appreciated the selection of food offered on board and the ample choice of seating.
"Ferry crossing"
A clean fast way to travel. Perhaps as a foot passenger having to be at the port one and hour hours before departing is a bit long. Otherwise a safe speed way to cross the gulf of Finland and play bingo too!!
"tallin - helsinki ferry"
Very big, clean ship. We were pleasantly surprised about the ferry ride!
"Hassle free trip"
Very happy with the ease of this journey from Helsinki to Tallinn. Terminal is a very simple walk from the centre, check in speedy, boat on time. Plenty of places to sit and options to eat and drink of needed. Would definitely recommend.
"Helsinki Tallinn on viking xprs"
Great when traveling with children. Several different play rooms although changing facilities limited
"Pleasant trip on ferry"
This ferry trip from Helsinki to Tallinn was not as long as the one from Stockholm to Helsinki. So, it was pleasant and sweet. We have many things to do and eat on board and spent only short time in the cabin.
"Helsinki to Tallin"
Easy check in - and loading. Spacious vehicle deck. Buffet style food was ok. Boat very busy but plenty of seating. Lovely calm crossing
"Prompt an Efficiently "
Everything about the crossing was efficient from booking, embarkation, journey and disembarkation. Would happily use again!
"Let's go to Estonia!"
Stayed in Helsinki for a few days on our honeymoon so decided to to to Tallinn for the day. Chose Viking Line a) good value and b) the Viking bit! Plenty of places to eat on board, huge well stocked shop, stuff for kids if you have them with you and a nice clean ship. Lacked indoor lounge seating if you didn't want to buy food and drink, we sat outside and being July it was windy but dry, would have been forced to buy something I didn't want to eat if I'd been desperate to sit inside.
"Very good"
Easy to book online, good price and plenty of choice of crossings. Easy boarding process. Comfortable, clean ship and lovely smooth crossing.
"very good"
very good
"Excellent"
Left on time, arrived on time. Facilities and food excellent.
"Prompt and Economical"
The ferry was pleasant and the price was very reasonable. The departure lounge in Helsinki was overcrowded and had the most uncomfortable chairs I have ever seen.
"Great service "
First time travelling this route. We had lounge access and would recommend to all. Food and drink aplenty and staff very friendly. My wife suffera from travel sickness and did not have any trouble.
"Very good"
Very punctual with friendly staff and a comfortable and relaxing journey.
"Night ferry from Helsinki to Tallinn "
For what was expected to be a basic crossing on our tour of Europe turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip . The ferry itself was akin to a cruise liner, but on a smaller scale. There was live entertainment with staff, passengers, and the entertainers all creating the most wonderful atmosphere that spread across the entire ferry. Food outlets were all superb with prices good portions and taste. Me and my husband will remember this for years to come. Highly recommend and now looking into a full cruise,something I had never considered with Viking.
"Really good service."
Fast. Modern ferry. Loads of eateries with food far better than the rubbish you get on our cross channel ferries. Free WiFi (although it did cut out a lot). Plenty of seating. Arrives just 20 minutes from Tallinn centre. The only minus is the embarkation/disembarkation which is akin to a stampede, especially at the Tallinn end
"Helsinki-Tallinn"
Recently went on Helsinki-Tallinn ferry, very good experience. Timing , check-in process, standard of boat, service , food and drink options all excellent would certainly recommend.
"Day out to Tallinn"
We enjoyed our trip over to Tallinn. Collecting our tickets from self service was easy. It was very busy, being Good Friday, so there were queues to get on board and at the bar but that was to be expected. Maybe some more staff on would have helped? There was a party atmosphere with a band playing and people dancing - loved it! The 2.5 hour crossing passed very quickly.
"Comfortable Cruise"
Great ferry service. Comfortable seating options and lots of eating choices. Glad we booked this one instead of the Tallink line.
"Not enough seating available"
Overall, the experience was good; however, there was definitely not enough seating available for everyone onboard, which resulted in about half of the passengers walking around and/or sitting on the floor at any given moment. The trip took two and a half hours, so most were able to handle it, but keep that in mind while booking. Other than that, it was clean, and there was a variety of food available.
"Great day out"
A great day out for a return trip Helsinki to Tallin, walking distance from city centres to the ferry in both cities. Plenty to do on the ferry and excellent food and drink + entertainment. Highly recommended.
"Really nice"
Nice live acoustic music on board from a guy from Manchester
"feedback"
I belevie from checking in to checking out i can nout foult anything. You have a service that deserves 10 out of ten.
"Nice trip to Tallinn"

"Helsinki to Tallin & Return"
These are two magnificent vessels. Very efficient & easy check-in. Great facilities on board. We had a lovely meal on our return from Tallinn. All staff were very accommodating. Would travel the Viking Line any time.
"Trip from Tallinn to Helsinki and return"
Ferry was on time, offered good facilities and catering. Pleasant trip both ways with maximum time spent in Helsinki.
"Ferry fun!?"
I didn't ever think I'd write a review about a ferry journey from one location to the next but I am... It was actually super fast, efficient and weirdly enough fun! You had funky music and lounger chairs outside with open bar to admire the views leaving Helsinki and live music and entertainment on board to! Loads of fun and games too for anyone with kids as they had a children's entertainment team ...but I quite enjoyed singing along to that too much to my boyfriends dismay. All in all a great experience...the quickest 2 hours spent on a ferry ever!!!!
"Great service and trip"
Fabulous, efficient booking system. Good price. Great trip with list to do for kids.
"Our return trip Tallinn-Helsinki"
It very interesting trip
"Nice ride"
Took the Viking line ferry last week. Everything was ok, we left punctual and came back punctual as well. On the boat there was a lot of choice for food and drinks and a couple of big shops. can recommend it
"Good experience"
Simple, good comfort, so many facilities for just 2,5 hours trip.
"Helsinki to Tallinn trip"
Excellent service and comfort. The facilities were also very good. Overall a very enjoyable experience. Thank you.
"Ferry review (viking Express)"
Brilliant trip!!
"Helsinki to Tallinn and back!"
Finding the port was extremely easy, the staff were incredibly helpful and it was a smooth journey both times we travelled. Would recommend visiting Tallinn to anyone, Old Town is beautiful and the TV tower is definitely worth a trip up for ~£10.
"Easy ride"
For two Aussies who had never used this service before we found the whole experience relaxed, stress-free and enjoyable. The process was easy and efficient from pre-boarding to disembarking. Recommended as an alternative to flying, and probably just as quick when you consider time to and from airports, check in, etc.
"Smooth sailing"
Exactly what you'd hope it to be! Smooth, efficient, punctual service. Pleasant on board with good facilities to take advantage of, should you wish.
"Great trip to Tallinn"
Viking Line were great! Best part was the little dance by the Viking Line staff before the trip, I couldn't quite believe my eyes, but it put a smile on everybody's face. Easy trip and hassle free. I would use Vikng Line again.
"Very good service"
I went from Tallin to Helsinki and came back and I liked everything. I had dinner and it that was good and not very expensive.
"Tallin ferry"
We had a calm and pleasant crossing, the ferry was clean, facilities fantastic. All was much better than the boats we experience while on our travels from England to France
"Great experience"
The experience using Viking Lines Ferry was great! We got the best prices and services was really high quality! Especially we liked the family area, where our kids had plenty of activities and small presents! Definetely recommend using Viking Line services!
"Great trip"
Marvellous trip, comfortable with no problems at all.
"Positive"
:)
"very good service"
The ferries are clean and comfortable and services on-board are very good. Departed on time and a very pleasant trip all round.
"Business trip"
Super crew, punctual
"Great trip"
Both outbound and return journey went smoothly. The Gulf of Finland had no waves on both departures and there was no fuss. The service on board was good and efficient.
"3 hours of nice experience"
It was like a mini cruise, all services onboard this ferry, 2 restaurants, pub, theatre, shops etc.. You don't get bored. Recommend it.
"crossing Tallinn - Helsinki"
Well organized and a good ship with a lot of service.
"All perfect"
Fast check in, punctual on both wasy, maximum comfort. Absolutely recommend.

Excellent one day cruise between Helsinki and Tallinn. Everything was as expected and well organized for an affordable price. Furthermore, it was on a sunny day, who could ask for more? A great day.

Great journey! The ship had basically all you needed. Great entertainment on-board as well.
"Great Experience"
We enjoyed our return voyage from Helsinki to Tallinn very much. I recommend Viking highly!
"All perfect"
Beautiful ship, punctual, entertainment. All right
"Very comfortable travel"
My first trip on the Viking Express was very good. Cabin was clean and comfortable for working. The food options were plentiful and tasty. Amenities available onboard were very nice. Staff very friendly and helpful.
"Viking Line frome Helsinki to Tallin"
We travelled in August. Clean and punctual ship.. Huge for a trip of only two hours and time flown. I highly recommend it.
"All perfect"
Fast and well mintained ship. Security lockers to leave luggage available. Air conditioner on board too cold... But you just need to bring with you a jumper. Or spend the time on deks....you need to hurry up to take a seat.
"Viking Line. Tallinn - Helsinki - Tallinn"
I recently took the ferry Tallinn – Helsinki - Tallinn with my family and it was a very smooth procedure and a nice experience. We were travelling with a car. The ferry was on time at both ends of the trip. The services on the ferry were well organized. If travelling to/from Helsinki - Tallinn we highly recommend taking the ferry. It is fast, easy and the port is in the centre of both cities which makes it very convenient.
"Viking Line ferry"
It was a really nice experience on the ferry Helsinki-Tallin, punctual and clean, time flown :-))))
"Pleasant crossing"
Good crossing. Adequate seating with views and enough (and affordable) amenities.
"Travel"
All was excellent !
"Punctuality, nice ship"
Punctual, huge ship, you can relax even at the pub to spent the 2 and half hours crossing, we did not understand where to leavi the luggages.
"Short hop across the Baltic"
The ferry was clean and superb. Everything you needed for the short trip across. Superb value.
"such a huge ferry!"
So much experience to do in the ferry! I was never bored on the ship during the 2 1/2 hours' journey.
"A wonderfull exeperience!"
Check in very quick, quality food, clean, professional personal and everything you need not to be worry in this trip. Wonderful!
"Great experience "
It was awesome travelling with Viking lines. I recommend it to anyone who wants to travel with a ferry.
"super"
Very nice trip, great break for a nap
"Tallinn"
I thoroughly enjoyed the short trip to Tallinn. The ship provided so many amenities and comforts it was like being on a brief cruise. I was pleasantly surprised. Arrive early since the ship departed a few minutes ahead of schedule . Highly recommended.
"Good price"
Traveling with the ferry for the first time was quite confusing. Things seemed disorganized and information about the facilities was lacking. Other than that, I enjoyed the trip. Good food, plenty of space to sit, comfortable surroundings. Good price.
"I recommend"
Very nice time on the ferry.
"The cigarette ferry "
We enjoy the 2 hours - from the moment we board to the arrival to Tallin However - It was not possible to escape from the smokers - It was impossible to have fresh, cool air on the dock without the need to escape from one smoker to another. Of course inside it was good - but part of the beauty is to look at the view outside - without cigarettes all over
"travel to Finland"
Super travel , the weather was good too!
"Short Baltic Cruise "
A first cruise on the Baltic, if only two and a half hours. Plenty of shops, eating places and bars including live music. Great fun and thoroughly entertaining. Extremely helpful staff and good value for money food and drink.
"nice trip"
The ship was clean, punctual, a lot of attraction on the ferry, from karaoke to sauna, tax free shop
"Very comfortable, smooth trip"
Thank you for the great service; we enjoyed the smooth trip, and the cabin was very comfortable! We were on a day trip to Tallinn and back, so the bunks were greatly appreciated for the trip back; we slept well! Kindly, Andrea
"Everything went smoothly"
We travelled from Tallinn, Estonia, to Helsinki, Finland, on the ferry. I wasn't expecting such a large ship. The passing was very smooth, and the ship was very comfortable. Board early and quickly to get seats by the windows.
"Fully satisfied"
I am really satisfied about this service, I used it during a recently trip I made with my camper. I also asket to anticipate the journey and it was done. Compliments, I strongly recommend this company.
"Good!"
Punctuality, Comfort. Quiet
"Satisfied"
The trip was pleasant, confortable and smooth, the ticket price affordable, the food on board tasty, and very good service. Congratulations
"Perfect journey"
Super clean ship, comfortable, staff super helpful for everything you might need, I will use it again with no doubt!
"An enjoyable excursion"
While staying in Helsinki, several people told me I should visit Tallinn, and eventually I took their good advice. The best value available of the three ferry companies was Viking, so I booked my return ticket (for Sunday) online. I was expecting a dull ferry ride across the Baltic made worthwhile by the enchanting old town of Tallinn (the latter exceeded expectations!) but I was pleasantly surprised to find the ferry was more like a cruise in some ways. I was surprised to find a bargain in practical clothing in one of the on board shops as well as a really nice meal with a very large glass of red wine on the way back. After I had carelessly left my credit card at the till, a member of staff sought me out (not so easy in the crowds) and I was saved some trouble (I would have got off the ship without it). Very helpful. The 150 minute trip back was lightened by the karaoke bar and the novelty of a dance band, at which some of the more talented passengers demonstrated their skill. A fun excursion, which I would recommend to others in Helsinki with a day to spare.
"Fantastic"
Seamless from booking, boarding, travelling.
"Helsinki - Tallinn Tallinn - Helsinki"
Easy to book on-line and cheaper than I expected. We went over to Tallinn and returned the next morning. Both times the ferry left on time. The choice of food was impressive and there were plenty of seats in all areas of the ferry. I will definitely use Viking Line again as I am going to make Tallinn a regular trip.
"Helisinki-Tallin, Tallin-Helsinki"
I traveled with the car, no deletings. Very good purchase with Direct Ferries. Outbound was with viking Lines, return Eckeroline. Both are good ferries. I recommend the website.
"Was a great Journey"
Had a pleasent experience while journey. Everything was beautifully organised. Ship was very Punctual.
"Totally satisfying "
It was quite great experience traveling with Viking line. I personally enjoyed show that was organized on deck.
"Excellent experience"
Absolutely nothing to say about the ship, perfect service, I did not booked a cabin because was only a 2.30 hours crossing.
"Ferry trip"
Good efficient trip. Ferry was quite comfortable and was right on schedule.
"Tallinn and Helsinki with Viking Line on the Viking Xprs "
The trip on the ferry was OK. Everything was as we was informed. We did not have any problems with picking up the tickets, boarding. The trip was pleasent, however there was not much places to sit for the passanger that wish not to purchase meals/beverages and did not have booked cabins.
"Excellent Ferry service"
Can't fault it, easy boarding,plenty of seats. Easy crossing and free wifi. Disembarkation just as easy. Carry on the good work !!
"A greta voyage from Helsinki to Tallinn"
What's not to like?!! Boarding the ferry in Helsinki was so organized...the ride so smooth...and short. The landing in Tallinn was so close to everything! Meals and drinks were superb! Mike and Bonnie Middletown, RI USA
"Nice experience"
We made our booking online. On the night before departure, we went to the port to collect our tickets, which meant we didn't have to arrive 2 hours in advance to check in, an hour was enough. The staff was very friendly and helpful and boarding went smoothly. Clean ship, great experience.
"Lovely day"
Really enjoyable crossings on a flat sea. The crew were really friendly and the ship was clean and comfortable. The journey cost was very reasonable and the food was excellent.
"mini cruise"
on time and comfortable, as a mini cruise
"Viking Tallin-Helsinki-Tallin"
Everything was ok! We enjoyed the trip!
"Value for Money"
Very good staff and value for money.
"Good one"
I would pronounce this trip to fantastic, but we got a better trip 2 days ago between Stockholm and Turku for 40€ (315km). So I think the line between Helsinki and Tallinn (88km) for 80€ is a little bit expensive, but totally worth it. Everything was fine, nice and clean. Ferry with tax free shop, restaurants, bars, etc.
"relaxing trip"
even if the departure is at 7 in morning, it's relaxing and time flies. Good area with seats and open bar. All good
"pleasant trip"
comfortable ship, good services on board, free wifi
"friendly staff"
As soon as you arrive at the port office in Helsinki you can see the quality of the service. Nice and helpful staff. Ship clean, new and modern as a cruise ship. Great
"Helsinki - Tallin "
fast ferry and on time. A lot of people go to Tallin to buy alcoholic drinks. Amazing city but too many tourists.
"Great!"
My traveling experience with Viking Line: Amazing! Will always travel with them!
"excellent price, Viking Line is always comfortable and cheap"
Viking Line is always comfortable and cheap. Perfect solution to spend a day in Helsinki from Tallin. Fully satisfied
"Viking Line Helsinki to Tallin"
Great trip, easy and things to do though there wasn't a trivia contest. It's not true that you have to be there 2 hours beforehand for this one; 45 minutes is more than enough time.
"everything went well."
Booking via Direct Ferries was straightforward and easy. Viking staff at both ends of our journey were friendly courteous and helpful. Ships were on time, comfortable and clean.Terminals at Helsinki and Tallinn were easy to reach with good transport links. Instructions for reaching ferries was clear. My only adverse comment relates to Direct Ferries instruction that check in had to be done 2 hours before departure. This originally caused us some concern re travelling arrangements to port. However on reading Viking Lines web site this was not the case. The times were much shorter. My suggestion is to read the providers specific web site for guidance.
"perfect journey"
everything is excellent
"Nice Cluise"
It was very nice Viking Line from Helsinki to Tallin, was almost full of people and bad weather but I was enjoyed with Baltic sea cruise.
"A great quality Cruises"
A great quality Cruises
"Fun part of our holiday!"
We booked a cabin from Helsinki to Tallinn as there was no foot passenger option left. The cabin had a shower, a toilet and sink, two bunkbeds (one of which doubles as a sofa) and television and chair. The prices for food and drink seem dirt cheap after Finland! The staff are friendly and there is plenty to keep everyone occupied for the 2.5 hour journey. There was bingo, dancing, live music, slot machines, duty free (reasonably priced for a change!), food, drink, a sun deck and general areas to stand outside. The only downside I could name was the very slow trudge to get to the port, down a long walk way. Other than that, it was great and worth the money. I think if we'd been on an overnight ferry, we would have found the cabin satisfactory too.
"a wonderful experience"
Directferries charged me the correct amount on my card. The webpage was clear and gave me enough options. Viking Line personnel were very helpful and very polite. The Ferry was on time and very pleasant. I recommend this service.
"Wonderful"
On time, quick, entertaining.. Just wonderful!
"A good Choice"
Good Selektion of facilities. Punctusl departures and arrivals. Food slightly expensive but good Choice available.
"Very good"
a crossing under the sun and the wind… after a week of rain, it was perfect. The only negative was the disembarkment of the car in Tallin in two lines towards a roundabout…. It's a bit slow. Everything is good otherwise.
"Don't Show Up Too Early"
AFTER I purchased my ferry ticket, I was instructed that I had to show up two hours before the ferry departed. This is totally unnecessary, unless you are travelling with an auto. I went from Helsinki to Tallinn and I did show up two hours early. Check in took less than a minute and then I sat for an hour and forty minutes waiting for the gates to open to board the ferry. Check in closes 20 minutes before departure, but arriving two hours before departure is a waste. On my return from Tallinn to Helsinki I showed up 30 minutes before departure and had plenty of time.
"A good experience"
A very good crossing.
"A good trip"
An excellent return crossing between Tallin and Helsinki. No incident. The facilities were good and the signposting on board was perfect.
"A perfect short visit during a week end"
The ferry from Tallin to Helsinkiand vice versa is the better way to visit both cities during a week end. The cruise was cheap, confortable and fast. You have to stay 45 before departure for queuing to take the better seat with view.
"1st time experience was FANTASTIC!"
I did round trip from Helsinki to Tallinn with a friend, and we loved the trip! The ferry was bigger and held more passengers than I expected. It is a cruise ship. The trip was very comfortable. Food and drink were good, and the cruise exceeded our expectations!
"Terrific Experience"
The trip between Helsinki and Tallinn was delightful. The ferry left exactly on time, the ride was smooth, the restaurants and shops were fine, and our cabin had everything we needed: TV, washroom and couches. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
"Viking Line from Helsinki to Tallinn"
An enjoyable way to travel. Right on time, and very comfortable. It was a normal cruise ship with cabin floors, entertainment floors, and one floor that was a dining room. We were able to sit in the dining room looking out the window the entire journey.
"Tallinn to Helsinki"
Everything was fine except for two things: we were asked to arrive at the terminal at 6 a.m. but the windows for check-in did not open until 6:30 a.m. Then more waiting when we were told to go upstairs at 7:15 a.m. Once on board, people wanted breakfast or coffee and had to wait in line for ten minutes to check out - only one cashier available.
"It was a nice ferry"
Can't complain about this ship. It was a short but very pleasant trip.
"it did not sink"
The ship left port on time and arrived on time. It was easy to book on line. It was easy to walk from the old city of Tallin to the port; about 15 minutes. Without a car, one only had to be at the dock about 1 hour before sailing. Since, this was my first trip from Tallin to Helsinki; I think a little leaflet should have been given out on the ship showing where one could sit and the available restaurants, etc. The staff was very courteous in answering questions, when boarding. The only problem was that when you have luggage; you are limited in exploring the ship. Maybe, I could have just left it sitting anyplace without worrying, but I did not want to take a chance.
"Nice trip"
Good quality of catering.

"Special"
Very nice travel !
"Very enjoyable crossing"
The crossing was great. Checking in and boarding was well organised and driving off was very quick. The ferry was busy but the facilities coped well.
"Comfortable trip between two countries"
Everything from booking the ticket via internet, to the relatively short trip between Helsinki and Tallin worked perfectly. Was surprised about the price for taxfree, trip, food and drink but then I'm also from the south of Sweden that are drenched in offers all the time.
"Trip was fine"
Our ferry journey from Tallinn to Helsinki and return was quite satisfactory. The ferry was on time, and the crossing was smooth.The terminal was easily accessible -at both ends - and the price was competitive.There was adequate and reasonably priced food available - on both crossings, even though our return journey did not sail until 21.30 . The one somewhat disappointing aspect was that though there was was a large sitting area with tables and chairs, there were no comfortable lounge chairs for passengers.
"Booze Crooze"
This was an awesome journey - the tickets were really cheap, the journey was only about 2.5 hours, perfect without needing a cabin, and really only just enough time to enjoy exploring all the decks. There were several bars with reasonably priced drinks, and a large supermarket full of alcohol at absurdly low prices (particularly useful when going from Tallinn to Helsinki). The evening ferry even had karaoke! Overall a really fun trip!
"Excellent crossing"
I had the pleasure to take the crossing from Tallinn to Helsinki and return with the Viking Express, everything was quite good, the staff were kind and helpful. The ship was welcoming and for us was easy to find a place to rest for the two hours we spent onboard. There was a varied choice of food at the restaurant. We also got the information for our hotel from the staff at the arrival.. I recommend this trip.
"Good experience "
In order to take advantage of our visit to Helsinki we chose this company for its speed and schedule. The ferry was good thanks to its dimensions and possibilities. VikingLine is very recommendable.

One of the best journies in my lifetime. enjoyed the luxurious cabin provided. enjoyed the in-ship shopping, enjoyed the view from the deck. Simply enjoyed everything.
"Nice trip"
I was on board in good time, food was good trip very pleasant. Liked the Duty Free lots of choices
"helsinki to tallin"
It was a comfortable ride. Ship was on time. However, there was no announcement of when boarding was to take place and when we arrived in Tallin. The lack of communication to the passengers could be improved.
"Viking Line recommended "
recommended.
"Luggage"
I was happy with everything. The first time I went over I didn't have a clue where to store my luggage and had to ask. I wasn't sure where to find information.
"Nearly everything is super "
- Everything was great, except the comment on my list that I would have to check in 120 minutes before departure, otherwise my ticket can be resold When I wanted to check in by 6 clock in the morning in Tallinn (ferry departure at 8:00). the switches were
"Tallinn to Helsinki"
We had a wonderful trip on this ferry and would strongly recommend this trip to friends. Hopefully we will be able to do it again some time in the future.
"Nice!"
Thank you very much! Everything was great.
"Okay. "
Everything okay.
"All the best "
I have previously bought the ticket through the Internet and easily converted into the actual ticket. The ship is huge. there was a life show and Karaoke, so dasss it was not a boring, even though the visibility was because of the fog close to 0.
"My Experience"
The travel with Viking line was a great fun. Every thing was perfect.

"Helsinki and Tallinn with Viking Line "
Everything smoothly. Good supply on board. 'll Be back! The booking via direct ferries.
"Viking Tallinn to Helsinki"
Low-price, coffee OK, no comfortable seating. You get what you pay for!
"Helsinki-Tallinn"
Very nice experience, safe and punctual.
"Old, Worn Interior and Facilities"
The ship is old, the interior is outdated, worn and stinks with cigarette smoke.
"A good trip"
The trip was nice and quiet, the ship Viking Line is very big and equipped with every comfort
"Tallinn - Helsinki with Viking Line on the ferry Viking XPRS "
Crossing was okay
"Ferry Helsinki-Tallin"
the ferry was punctual, the service was really good, we were at the restaurant area , the ferry was comfortable and the staff really helpful.
"Great Crossing "
We went within a week with three different ships of Viking Line and always have a well-equipped, clean ship found. The departure was always on time and the clearance problem and friendly. The quality of care on the ship was very good. Likewise, the seating very good. We can not give any information because we were traveling only as steerage passengers on the quality of the cars. But a quick look into exploring the ships also this give a good feeling.
"Tallin to Helsinki ferry. Best option! "
The ferry from Tallin to Helsinki was without a doubt the best option. I t was fast, well-priced, comfortable and huge. If you travel with kids you wont have any problems because there is an entertainment team and numerous cafés. I would use it again without a doubt.
"Qick & easy "
Uncomplicated crossing (without a car). Unfortunately, there were few seats in areas with no restaurant.
"Helsinki - Tallinn "
nice trip!
"Great trip!"
We arrived to the Gate C 2 hours before the departure and we had a bit of waiting to be done. But everything was smooth. The instructions of the regulators were clear and it was easy to park on the ferry. The trip was nice, there's a lot to do to take your time.
"ver good"
All Prima. Gladly again.
"Great experience"
Great ferry, always on time, good entertainment on board.
"A very beautiful crossing"
A beautiful crossing between Helsinki and Tallinn. The only reproach I would make is the lack of tables and benches on the upper deck. Otherwise, it was very good.
"Quick trip over to Tallinn"
The ferry trip from Helsinki to Tallinn with Viking Line on the Viking Xprs was a smooth voyage. Booking tickets from home well in advance was easy, and at the terminal in Helsinki I showed my reference number and our passports in exchange for boarding passes. We were tired and had large bags after sailing in Tall Ships Races, so we just crash landed on the floor near the entrance on 7th deck, hence we didn't explore or see much of the ship. My nephew experienced that when buying a sandwich the cashier spoke little or no English, which was quite a surprise. We really hope that was an exception.
"Viking Line Helsinki-Tallin "
I have my ticket booked online via Direct Ferries. Helsinki at the check-in in the port everything worked smoothly. I got my ticket printed and ready to go on the ferry. Initially I was a little unsure if I was aloud to leaf the ship in Tallinn, because on my ticket was not indicated whether it is a one way ticket. Unfortunately I could the staff due to lack of knowledge of English does not help directly and I was referred to the information., where I was then helped. The ship was very good equipped with entertainment (for children), restaurant, shop, bars, etc. Overall I crossing has very much and I would book again with direct ferries!
"fantastic trip"
It was very lovely experience trip with Viking Line and I am enjoyed than I choice this ferry, I would like to invite everybody to join to Viking Line too.
