Tallink Silja sails the overnight Tallinn-Stockholm cruise ferry, calling at Mariehamn on the Åland Islands on some departures; cabins range from shared rooms to suites and the ship has restaurants, a spa and space for cars.
Arrival: Stockholm Värtahamnen (Värta port)
The ferry docks at Stockholm Värtahamnen (Värta port) - Stockholm is the Swedish capital spread over fourteen islands where Lake Mälaren meets the Baltic, with Arlanda Airport (ARN) about 40 km north, the medieval Gamla Stan at its heart, Södermalm's cafés across the water and Uppsala's university town 70 km up the E4. From the pier you are minutes from taxis, buses and the town itself. Haqqi Tours offers a private transfer from the port to your hotel in Stockholm with a driver waiting at the exit, which for a family with bags is the easiest way to finish the Tallinn to Stockholm crossing.
Many passengers continue from Stockholm to another island or city. We provide those tickets too, so one WhatsApp conversation covers the whole itinerary.
On board the Tallinn to Stockholm ferry: seats, cabins, cars and luggage
The ship makes the difference on this route: the conventional ferry has more space, open decks and a steadier ride; the high-speed boat has airline seating and gets you there faster. Both types on this route carry vehicles on some sailings; we tell you which. Children have their own fares, luggage travels free within limits, and pets are accepted on many ships in carriers or kennels.
- Children's fares by age; infants generally free
- Pets accepted on many ships in carriers or kennels - tell us if one is travelling
- Seats: economy, airline-style, lounge and business on the fast boats; deck seats on the slow ferries
- Cabins with beds and showers on overnight sailings - two to four berths
Things to do in Stockholm after the ferry
The reasons travellers take the ferry to Stockholm are a boat through the archipelago, Fotografiska, Drottningholm Palace, Uppsala Cathedral and university and Gamla Stan and the Royal Palace. Stockholm is the Swedish capital spread over fourteen islands where Lake Mälaren meets the Baltic, with Arlanda Airport (ARN) about 40 km north, the medieval Gamla Stan at its heart, Södermalm's cafés across the water and Uppsala's university town 70 km up the E4. Eat semlor in spring, Swedish meatballs with lingonberries and gravlax and herring while you are there.
We offer tours and transfers in Stockholm as well as the ferry ticket - one conversation, one plan for the whole trip.
Best time to take the ferry from Tallinn to Stockholm
June to August is bright with long evenings and the archipelago season; winter is dark, cold and snowy; the E4 from Arlanda is slow at weekday rush hours. On the water, the season shows in sea conditions and availability more than in comfort: book early for summer, Easter and holiday weekends between Tallinn and Stockholm, and choose morning sailings when the wind is forecast.
Ferry or flight from Tallinn to Stockholm?
Weighing a flight against the ferry from Tallinn to Stockholm? Add the airport time at both ends and the transfer from the arrival airport, and the ferry is often as fast door to door - about 16 hours 30 minutes at sea and typically cheaper, with no baggage fees. With a car there is no contest. We book whichever suits you.
Return ferry from Stockholm to Tallinn
The Stockholm to Tallinn ferry is the same crossing in reverse, about 16 hours 30 minutes. Haqqi Tours arranges the return ticket in the same conversation; if the return date is not fixed, an open return on the same operator keeps it flexible.
How much does the ferry from Tallinn to Stockholm cost?
The cost of the ferry from Tallinn to Stockholm depends on the ferry company, the type of vessel, the date, whether you travel as a foot passenger or with a car, and the seat or cabin you choose. A conventional ferry is cheaper than a high-speed one; a summer Saturday costs more than a weekday in May; a car adds a vehicle fare; a cabin on an overnight sailing adds more. That is why Haqqi Tours does not print a price: we check the live fares for your exact date and send the real cost in the WhatsApp chat, with the options side by side.
The figure we send is the total: passengers, vehicle, seats or cabin and port fees. If a slower sailing an hour later is cheaper, we say so; on this route the conventional ferry is frequently the best value for a family.
Cheapest ferry ticket from Tallinn to Stockholm: how to pay less
A cheap Tallinn to Stockholm ferry ticket is not luck - it is the right boat on the right day. Here is how we find it:
- Ask about children's, student and resident fares, and about vehicle offers outside high season
- Choose the conventional ferry over the high-speed boat when time allows - it is cheaper, steadier and often more scenic
- Book early for July, August, Easter and holiday weekends, when sailings sell out and fares rise
- Travel on a weekday - Friday and Sunday sailings carry the highest fares
- Let us know if your dates are flexible; moving by a day often changes the fare
- Compare operators - on this route the cheapest company changes with the date
We answer "what is the cheapest way to get from Tallinn to Stockholm by ferry?" many times a day; the answer for the date you travel comes back on WhatsApp with the booking ready to confirm.
How to book ferry tickets from Tallinn to Stockholm with Haqqi Tours
The easiest way to book a ferry from Tallinn to Stockholm is to let a person do it. The form asks for the essentials; the details - a car and its length, a cabin, a pushchair, a pet, a connection on arrival - you tell us by WhatsApp when we message you to confirm. We provide the ticket, explain check-in at Tallinn Old City Harbour (Terminal D) and stay reachable during the crossing.
- Step 1 - fill in the form: date, one-way or return, adults and children
- Step 2 - we message you through WhatsApp with the sailings, vessels, seats or cabins and the cost
- Step 3 - you confirm the sailing you prefer and we arrange payment in the same chat
- Step 4 - we issue the electronic ticket and send it; we stay in touch until you land in Stockholm
If plans change, the same WhatsApp conversation handles it. We clarify the ferry company's change and cancellation rules for the fare you chose before you commit to anything, so there are no surprises later.
Timetable and season of the Tallinn to Stockholm ferry
Sailing times on the Tallinn to Stockholm route depend on the ferry company and the month - as a rule nightly. Morning departures are usually the calmest and the most reliable; the last sailing of the day is the one to avoid if you have an onward connection. We choose the sailing to fit your plan and tell you the check-in time at Tallinn Old City Harbour (Terminal D).
If a sailing is cancelled by the ferry company for weather, you are rebooked on the next available or refunded; our WhatsApp desk handles that for you on the day.
Departure: Tallinn Old City Harbour (Terminal D)
The ferry from Tallinn to Stockholm leaves from Tallinn Old City Harbour (Terminal D), in Tallinn - Tallinn is the best-preserved medieval capital in northern Europe, a walled old town with towers and cobbles on the Baltic. Foot passengers should be at the port 45 to 60 minutes before departure; vehicles normally 60 to 90 minutes, earlier on international crossings where passports are checked. Getting there: Tram line 4 takes about 15 minutes from the airport to the centre and a taxi about 10 minutes, so metro, tram or bus suits a central hotel; a private car is simpler with luggage, a family, a late arrival, the harbour, or trips to Lahemaa, Pärnu, Tartu and Riga.
- Luggage is carried free within the shipping line's limits; large bags go on the racks or the car deck
- Cafés, kiosks and waiting halls at Tallinn Old City Harbour (Terminal D); some fast boats board only minutes before sailing
- Haqqi Tours can provide a private transfer from your accommodation in Tallinn to the port on request
- Let us know which gate or terminal your sailing uses - big ports have several

Is there a luggage limit on the ferry?
Bags are not weighed on the big ferries and travel free within the shipping line's limits; the fast passenger boats sometimes cap the number of pieces. We tell you what applies to your sailing.

Send the form above with your dates, one-way or return and the number of passengers - and the car, if you take one. Our booking desk replies by WhatsApp with the sailings, the vessels and the cost; once you confirm, the ticket arrives in the same chat.
How long is the ferry from Tallinn to Stockholm?
About 16 hours 30 minutes on the fastest vessels; the conventional ferries take longer where both run. We send the exact times for the sailing you choose.
