Operated by Tallink Silja on the Helsinki Tallinn route

The modern 2000 passenger carrying Tallink Shuttle Star entered service in 2007 and operates year round in the Baltic Sea. The hull’s green colour reflects the environmentally friendly aspects of Star’s design which includes better fuel consumption, more modern technology and she creates much smaller waves compared to other high speed crafts!

Onboard you’ll find numerous facilities to keep you occupied including a choice of restaurants (à la carte, buffet, pizza and café), a huge shopping area, children’s play area, a business lounge, an observation lounge (private parties), cabin accommodation and more.

Onboard Cabins / Reserved Seating

Tallink Star has a choice of en-suite inside and outside (sea view) cabins which can be found on decks 8 and 9 at the rear of the ship. There are also cabins specially adapted for wheelchair access (located on deck 8). In terms of reserved seating you’ll find a 120-seat Business Lounge with wireless internet connection and TVs. For private parties there is an Observation Lounge on the 9th deck for up to 250 persons.

Onboard Food and Drink

There’s no shortage of places to eat onboard the Tallink Star. Take your pick from the versatile á la carte menu or head to the 450 seater ‘Shuttle buffet’ restaurant (located on deck 8 at the front part of the ship) which serves a buffet breakfast on departures in the morning and a warm buffet Lunch or dinner on other departures.

‘Quick & Easy’ is in the middle of the ship on deck 9 and serves delicious pizzas, hamburgers and ice cream while ‘Café Snack Time’ (deck 8) offers sandwiches, rolls, salads, pastries, drinks and warm dishes.

If you fancy a relaxing beverage onboard then head to the ‘Seaport pub’ on deck 7 at the rear of the ship for various drinks and snacks while in the Sunset bar (deck 9) you can admire the beautiful scenery and enjoy a refreshing drink.

Tallink Star features 1500 square metres of pure shopping on deck 7! In the supermarket you will find alcohol, cigarettes, sweets, toys, souvenirs and food while in the perfume shop you will find a wide selection of perfumes and cosmetics.

  • "Day Trip in August"

    The ferry terminal in Helsinki was only a short walk from our hotel, around the harbour. The ships were clean and the facilities very good. The ferry terminally Tallinn would benefit from clear direction signs to the Old Town! Otherwise, it was all good.

  • "I feel like on a cruise holiday! "

    I was surprised about this ship! Easy check in and out. Clean terminals and most of all the ship. The moment I enter brings back the memories when I was on cruise holiday. I like everything about this ship. Modern facilities and interiors with amenities that will keep you busy the whole trip. It add up to my holiday experience. I scored low to staff competence because one thing I noticed they do not smile much and greet passengers. I am a firm believer if they do it, it makes such difference to your experience!!!

  • "Lovely daytrip to Tallinn from Helsinki "

    Booked a ferry to take us to Tallinn for the day. I was very pleased with the ferries booked, they left on time, there was plenty of facilities and entertainment on board and we generally enjoyed the journeys. Had to do some research to confirm what terminal we leave from in Helsinki because there is two terminals. Would like to have that information attached to the booking but apart from that I was very pleased with the service.

  • "Very efficient, lots of amenities. "

    The ferry is very fast and the boarding is very efficient. Its obvious they do this route many times a day. Many options for food, supermarket etc. I was extremely tired on this ferry and could have done with lying down. Could have had a cinema sort of room.
