    West Terminal 2

    Your seamless journey begins at Helsinki’s West Terminal 2, where you will board the MS Finlandia. This is not just a commuter boat; it is a premium Baltic cruise ferry. During the two-hour morning crossing of the Gulf of Finland, you can relax in spacious, comfortable lounges with panoramic sea views. Enjoy live Nordic entertainment, step onto the open-air decks to feel the fresh sea breeze, or browse the expansive tax-free market. The comfortable morning sail ensures you arrive in Estonia completely refreshed and ready to step back in time.
