Is there a ferry from Stockholm to Tallinn?
Which ship, which terminal and how often it sails.
Short answer
Yes, Tallink Silja sails between Stockholm and Tallinn with the cruise ferry Baltic Queen from the Värtahamnen terminal, and the travel time is 16 hours. The ship departs in the afternoon and arrives in Tallinn the following morning. It operates every other day, and on the other days Tallink offers a route via Helsinki with a terminal change.
Why
- Ports of Stockholm lists Tallinn as a destination with Tallink Silja from Värtahamnen.
- Tallink says the travel time between Tallinn and Stockholm is 16 hours, with the Baltic Queen using Värtahamnen Terminal in Stockholm and Terminal D in Tallinn.
- Tallink says the Baltic Queen operates on the Stockholm-Tallinn route every other day.
Details
The Stockholm terminal is at Hamnpirsvägen 10. Tallink's terminal page lists check-in and ticket sales from 05:45 to 17:30 every day, with registration closing 30 minutes before departure and ship access closing 20 minutes before. For documents on the trip, see travelling within the EU without a passport, and for other routes, see ferries and the archipelago.
Tip
Check the timetable for your date first, because the direct ship sails every other day; on the other days the route via Helsinki needs a change of terminal in Helsinki.
What may differ
Day of travel decides the route: the Baltic Queen sails Stockholm-Tallinn on alternate days, and Tallink's alternative goes Stockholm-Helsinki and then Helsinki-Tallinn.
Common misconception
A ferry to Tallinn leaves Stockholm every day.
What actually happens
Tallink says the Baltic Queen operates on the Stockholm-Tallinn route every other day, so on alternate days you need the route via Helsinki.
