Amazing! Ship is huge and brand new. Did not expect that many facilities for such a short trip. Was almost sorry to get off the ship! Many seating areas and very comfortable way of traveling to Estonia! Tallinn was truly marvelous. So much charm and beauty. Estonians received us very warmly and with kindness. A small country with a big heart!

The whole experience was exceptional. The boarding process was well organised and easy. The MyStar ship was more like a fancy cruise ship than a ferry, with numerous cafes, a huge shopping area with clothing, alcohol, beauty, toys and so much more. There were poker machines, arcade games, a huge kids play area and so many different areas with comfortable seating.

  • Explore the UNESCO-listed Old Town, and shop, eat, and stroll as you please
