The Finnish based Eckerö Line is one among the few ferry companies arranging transportation between Helsinki and Tallinn, in this case between Länsiterminaali in Helsinki and the A-terminal in Tallinn. The company has recently acquired a new ferry on the route, M/S Finlandia which makes the trip in two and a half hours (instead of the earlier 3.5h). If you think it resembles Tallink's Superstar, sul on täiesti õigus: the two ships are sister ships - Superstar built in Italy in 2007 and Finlandia in South Korea in 2001 (overhauled in Sweden last year). To confuse you even more, the earlier ferry called M/S Finlandia is the now St. Peter Line owned M/S Princess Maria, which used to sail under the name Finlandia between Helsinki and Stockholm before Silja Serenade and Silja Symphony took over in the early 90's. To clear any confusion about ship names, ownerships and history, we have the IMO-ship identification system. Anyway, this new ferry is a welcome addition to the busy route between the two cities. So however you get there - enjoy your trip!
PS. Next ferry you can read about in this blog will be M/S Silja Europa, which will be cruising between Helsinki and Tallinn under the name Tallink Europa - jo tässä kuussa!
