AS Tallink Grupp will add Helsinki-Tallinn leg as addition to the Rostock-Helsinki route starting from January. According to the schedule the Superfast vessels will have additional one roundtrip per day between ports of Helsinki and Tallinn.
The change will increase the capacity of Tallinn-Helsinki route and offers more opportunities to the passengers. At the same time it will create a new possibility to travel from Estonia to Germany.
As Estonia isn’t yet a part of Schengen visa agreement, the Estonian passengers with and without car heading to Rostock have to pass the usual passport control in Helsinki. There isn’t a long time for waiting in the port and Estonian passengers traveling to Rostock can enter the ship right after passing the passport control. After Estonia has joined the Schengen visa agreement the passengers can travel from Estonia to Rostock without having to leave the ship in Finland.
First departures of Superfast in direction of Helsinki-Tallinn take place on 9., 12., and 13th of January from Helsinki at 13.00 and from Tallinn at 17.30. The trip will take about two hours.
From 1.-14th of January the departures of Helsingi-Rostock are scheduled from Rostock from Mondays to Saturdays at 5.00 and Sundays at 4.30. From Helsinki the departures are scheduled on all weekdays at 21.00.
From 15th of January Tallinn will be added to the regular schedule of Rostock-Helsinki route, direction Helsinki-Tallinn will have departures every day at 8.30 from Helsinki and at 16.30 from Tallinn. The duration of the trips is approximately 2, 5 hours.
On direction of Rostock- Helsingi the departures are scheduled on Mondays to Saturdays at 5.00 and Sundays at 4.30. From Helsinki to Rostock the departures are scheduled on all weekdays at 21.30.
AS Tallink Grupp operates the passenger and cargo shipping route between Finland and Germany with three Superfast vessels purchased in spring 2006. Superfast VII and Superfast VIII were built in 2001, Superfast IX in 2002. Vessels of 1 A Super ice class accommodate over 700 passengers and 1900 lane meters of vehicles.
