Our Family Picnic area, especially aimed at families, has been welcomed with joy. The ship’s numerous restaurants, several different lounges and the winter garden have also delighted passengers on the route,” said Piret Mürk-Dubout, a board member at Tallink.

Since entering into service on December 13, Tallink’s flagship MyStar ferry has transported almost 32,000 passengers on its 40 journeys between Tallinn and Helsinki so far. Most of the passengers have been from Finland (15,341) and Estonia (9,996). There have also been passengers from Singapore, Latvia, Poland, USA, Germany, Italy, Australia, Japan, Ireland, Canada and many other countries around the world.

The ship has also transported more than 6000 cars, Burger has served more than 4000 hamburgers, Starbucks has served 2000 cups of coffee, and 2000 glasses of champagne or sparkling wine have been enjoyed onboard so far. 

MyStar operates on the Helsinki-Tallinn route together with Tallink’s Megastar vessel. After maintenance, Tallink’s Star ferry will also join the route on January 1, 2023. From this date, Tallink will offer up to 16 trips per day on the Tallinn-Helsinki route on weekdays.
