About Tallink Silja Line
The origins of Tallink go back to 1989 when a joint Finnsih/Sovient venture was formed to operate a ferry service between Helsinki and Tallinn, capital city of Estonia. Now, Tallink Silja operates many ferry routes within the Baltic Sea, from Stockholm to Helsinki, Turku, Tallinn and Riga and from Helsinki to Tallinn and Rostock.
The Tallink Silja fleet comprises 14 active ships. At almost 49,000 tons and built only in 2008/9, the largest vessels are the twins M/F Baltic Queen and M/F Baltic Princess. Baltic Queen usually serves the Stockholm - Tallinn link whilst her twin serves Tallinn from Helsinki.
All private use vans exceeding 3.5 tons must be booked as freight. If the vehicle is being used for commercial purposes you must book as freight, regardless of the van type.
