Viking Line Tallinn Helsinki Brunch Buffet

I would highly recommend the Brunch Buffet on board the Viking Line Tallinn Helsinki. There were a lot of options even for the most fussy eaters. A huge range of drinks including coffee, tea, hot chocolate or juice. They even had desserts – I had the mango sorbet which was as expected delicious.

Viking Line Tallinn Helsinki Brunch Buffet Cost

€23 – It is 10% more expensive if you purchase on board.

Viking Line Tallinn Helsinki Cabins

The cabins were a good size, clean and comfortable. If you need some privacy these are perfect however I wouldn’t say they were necessary.

Viking Line Tallinn Helsinki

If you like karaoke you are in luck as you can perform on the stage. In the evening there is a professional who takes over so get there sooner rather than later.

There is a duty-free shop on board if you want to stock up on alcohol or buy any souvenirs.

Do you need a passport for ferry from Tallinn to Helsinki?

Yes, as you will be entering another country you should ALWAYS bring your passport with you. Having said this when I went they didn’t do any passport checks but I would recommend bringing your passport with you just in case as I’ve heard they do check occasionally.

Is the ferry from Tallinn to Helsinki rough?

I wouldn’t say it was rough but you could feel it shake at times but it wasn’t choppy that you felt sick. If you do suffer from travel sickness I would recommend taking a sea sickness tablet just in case.

Is Tallinn worth a day trip from Helsinki?

Yes, although it does take 2 and a half hours to get from Helsinki to Tallinn. The ferry I went on left at 10.30 am and arrived at 1 pm. The ferry back to Helsinki is at 5 pm. So you will have around 3 maybe 3 and a half hours to explore as you will need to back on the ferry at 4.30/4.40 to depart at 5 pm.

Estonia is a lot cheaper than Finland and a lot of Fin’s go to Estonia for alcohol in particular. I also found it a nice day trip as Tallinn is small and walkable.

Helsinki to Tallinn Ferry

Although Viking Line was the ferry I took to Tallinn other ferries also go to Tallinn but be aware that they will probably leave from a different terminal.

The Silja Line also does a Helsinki Tallinn route as well as Helsinki to Stockholm. If you are interested in going to Stockholm from Helsinki then check out my post here.
