Viking Line to add more departures to Tallinn over the summer – “We are looking forward to a very busy summer season”

\n","htmlHeader":"","htmlIntro":"

During the summer months, Viking Line will again expand its capacity on the Helsinki-Tallinn route. Tourism to Estonia is up sharply this spring, and route traffic is growing in both directions. With the additional departures between June 18 and August 14, more travel options will be available particularly for families with children and passengers on shopping trips.

","body":"Passenger volume on the route to Tallinn always increases significantly in the summer months. Ever since 2014, Viking Line has arranged additional departures during the summer between Helsinki and Tallinn.

The two vessels are a long desired and necessary complement during the busiest season of the year.\n\n"We are looking forward to a very busy summer on the Tallinn route. The best thing for people who want to be sure to get a space for their car on a specific departure is to book ahead of time since car spaces are often sold out.
