Overnight across the Baltic Sea
Sleep on board and arrive in Tallinn the following morning
Stockholm to Tallinn is Tallink Silja Line’s overnight passenger route between Sweden and Estonia.
The normal crossing takes about 16 hours, departing Stockholm in the afternoon or early evening and
arriving in Tallinn the following morning.
Baltic Queen operates the regular route year-round, with departures from Tallinn every other evening
and a corresponding alternating pattern from Stockholm. Tallink also adds extra departures with
Romantika during peak summer periods, so the live timetable should be checked for the exact sailing
pattern.
The cruise ferry carries cars and provides cabins, restaurants, bars, shopping and entertainment.
Because the route runs overnight, a cabin is strongly recommended even where alternative
accommodation categories are offered.
Arrival at Tallinn places travellers close to the Old Town and the road network through Estonia. For
greater departure frequency, it is also possible to travel between Stockholm and Helsinki and
connect with the two-hour Helsinki–Tallinn Shuttle, though this requires a terminal change in
Helsinki.
If you are connecting to accommodation, another ferry or ground transport, leave a sensible margin
after the scheduled arrival. Weather, port traffic and boarding operations can occasionally affect
the final timing.
