2.3-Day Return Cruise to Tallinn & Breakfast

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 100 reviews · from $148

Sail from Stockholm to Tallinn and back with two nights in a sea-view cabin, breakfast on both mornings, and an afternoon to explore Estonia’s medieval capital. Tallink Silja Line gives you dining, shops, shows, karaoke, sauna time, and sea views onboard. Dinner and Tallinn sightseeing cost extra.

“Terrific value. I'm from the USA and had heard this trip referred to as the "white trash cruise". But it was just a very normal European vibe. Some folks are there to party (us included!) but also many families there. Not flashy, but neither was it at all trashy. Nice accomodation, plenty of activities for a short travel. Super cheap for what you get: international travel, entertainment, and dining. Glad I chose it.”
