I still remember how I traveled with this ship from Tallinn to Helsinki and after that back to Tallinn. ;)) It was in 2014. ;)) Oh,memories. ;)) Very nice video. ;))
If you, correctly, mention Silja Symphony as the third vessel at the Estonia disaster you should note that Mariella was the first. Deferring to experience, Esa Mäkelä, commanding Silja Europa and second vessel to arrive, was appointed on-scene commander. 24 years later this still chills my spine: czcams.com/video/V5tbah19qo8/video.html
Indeed, when Estonia sent her first Mayday message, Mariella was the nearest ship, at a few miles North, but when she arrived, Estonia had already sunk; only a few lifeboats, people and some stuff were over the sea. The weather was really bad that night. The other ships that participated in the search for survivors, in addition to Mariella, Silja Europa and Silja Symphony, were Viking Line´s MS Isabella, and Silja Line´s Finnjet and Finnmerchant.
Born in Bergen Norway, Made seven Atlantic crossings on Norwegian American Line, one on Stavangerfjord, two on Bergensfjord, one on Oslofjord, two on Vistafjord and one on Sagafjord. Ended up in the states, and spent six years in the US Navy, four on the aircraft carrier USS Hornet CVS12. Recovered Apollo 11 and 12 while on her. She is now a museum, and I'm on the Board of Directors. Have enjoyed multiple cruises over the years on NCL, RCCL, Princess and lately Celebrity. Hopefully more to come. I think I can conclude I love ships and the open ocean. Thanks for the great videos. I discovered them last week and have been watching a few every day. Please keep it up. One question. How do you do all this traveling? Thanks
Thanks for watching and sharing your experiences, it must have been very interesting working on an aircraft carrier and picking up those space craft. I will have an interesting ferry video up soon for ship and sea lovers so keep an eye on my channel. I do my videos and traveling when on my days off from work :)
Gabriella has the best Sauna department. Grace has the best audio and environment in the night club, but overpriced sauna-pool department. Europa has the best 4am "partymode"(in good and in bad). Overall red boats are better in value when it comes to service quality.
That is a quite recent change. Tallink got Silja Europa back from charter and put her in the Helsinki-Tallinn one-day cruise slot, moved Baltic Queen to Tallinn-Stockholm and moved Romantika to Stockholm-Riga, pairing her with Isabelle to give Stockholm-Riga a daily service.
3-4 years is what I call recent. I've been on BQ Sto-Tallinn and Romantika Sto-Riga. But some 3-4 years ago I went with Romantika Sto-Tallinn and had BQ berthing in Tallinn in view from my hotelroom, clearly in the Hel-Tal pleasure route.
The video is unlisted breakzoath as its a little too crazy for the channel, link is below if you like czcams.com/users/edit?o=U&ar=2&video_id=3HL6RAY9xsE
@@jacquesmertens3369 It was actually sold to Italy. Now Tallink has MS Megastar instead. Also, it takes 2h for Tallink ships to cross the Gulf of Finland. In the future, Tallinn and Helsinki see planned to be connected more physically by railway tunnel (30 min travel) in addition to ships. But that's coming maybe in 2030-2040s.

i have been on xprs many times in my opinion it is best ship on tallinn-helsinki road (going tonight onboard her)
I also enjoyed my trip on her last year, there is some interesting photos of viking line in the 1960s on her stairways, Enjoy your trip :)
all tough its a longer sail when it takes 2,4hr while tallink is 2 hrs
Viking grace is the best
No, rosella is the best!!!!!

Em for your info. Ive taken Baltic Queen so many times. And she goes from talinn, Estonia to Stockholm, Sweeden. Not Helsinki.
That is a quite recent change. Tallink got Silja Europa back from charter and put her in the Helsinki-Tallinn one-day cruise slot, moved Baltic Queen to Tallinn-Stockholm and moved Romantika to Stockholm-Riga, pairing her with Isabelle to give Stockholm-Riga a daily service.
@@Rallarbusen recent nope ive taken baltic queen for many years so shes been on talinn stockholm toute for over 3-4 years

I think M/S Baltic Queen is Tallinn-Stockholm
Great video & info. (had to silence the music though).
Mariella...(" The Ship That Brought Me Here " ) but xprs is a nice ship for Tallinn trips)
Silja Europa is The best For tallin 😉
I travelled on xprs for first and last time somewhere in 2009 when it was pretty new ship :D
Im sad for superstar were sold
You need to learn how to Loop music on these videos AND show more life INSIDE the boats...
I hope that Superstar will return to Tallink
Rosella for life!
Da Sushi rus vs fin
Kevpa are you form Finland?
She depature now at 7:00 ;)
WHAT IS THE PRICE FOR THE FERRY ?
silja yay
Suomenlinna is several islands, not one.
Don’t the ports have public transportation from dock to rail link ? A 20 minute walk with luggage, kids, elderly is too much.
Silja's terminal has a tram halt just outside, I've never used the Viking terminal but there is a tram line on that side of the basin as well.
You should have a go on the route Ystad (sweden)- Rønne (Bornholm, Denmark). Operating one of the worlds biggest HSC ferries
Need more narration.
Have you been on MS Silja Europa?
Im going with viking line 24 june (2018) * Juni June Juny idk
Think it was about 40euro
Under 50, very cheap
Did you know in suomenlinna they builded subs?
I think the sub I saw during my visit was built there.
I was in this ship erlier day
I have idea!Can u do the Baltic queen trip for video?
If I am back in the Baltic sometime I will do a trip or two if I can :)
KK
there are actualy 7 ships that sal this route 6 tallink mega star and 7 a regular viking line
I need to know WHERE IS OUR SUPERSTAR??!!

Cost? Round trip.
One way trip is about 10€ without cabin an two way trip is something like 20-30€ without cabin per person :D
@@rikubackman2496 Yes, that is correct as I just went there several days ago. Thanks anyway.
I see viking line in romantika
Tallink seems to come in various colours, ranging from very ugly to super ugly.
Why ugly tho? I think they add something to it, not always white
@@ArZer Yes, I would agree on that. The red is acceptable, and the MS Baltic Queen is OK too. But the MS Superstar ??
