I was staying in Helsinki and wanted to see Tallinn for the day. I booked the 1030am to 730pm package which was perfect for my wife and I. We enjoyed the ride there on the MyStar ship and snacked a little before we docked. Overall, we had a very comfortable ride and highly recommend this for a day trip from either direction.

It was amazing ! Very posh cruise ship and surprisingly the food and shop was of reasonable pricing. The only downside was that I was not able to scan the QR code using the machine and had to go to the counter , luckily the staff didn't charge me (using machine to check in is free but €5 if go to the counter ). Also , there are not many people on that day so it was not a long queue/wait . Overall , I enjoyed the experience.

Absolutely amazing. Took the Megastar in the morning had a wonderful breakfast and spent a wonderful day in Tallin. Took the Star in the evening to return to Helsinki and this ship looks very new and is a very beautiful and comfortable ship. Left on time and arrived on time. Very good value. Would highly recommend it . Every tour I took from your company has been excellent and I totally trust booking online with Get Your Guide.
