Cars, motorbikes and bicycles travel on the vehicle deck and you go up to the passenger decks for the crossing. Luggage is not weighed; you keep it with you or on the racks.

Things to do in Tallinn after the ferry
The reasons travellers take the ferry to Tallinn are the town walls, Telliskivi creative city, Kadriorg palace and the Old Town and Toompea. Tallinn is the best-preserved medieval capital in northern Europe, a walled old town with towers and cobbles on the Baltic.
We offer tours and transfers in Tallinn as well as the ferry ticket - one conversation, one plan for the whole trip.
Best time to take the ferry from Stockholm to Tallinn
Every season has its case for Tallinn. On the water, the season shows in sea conditions and availability more than in comfort: book early for summer, Easter and holiday weekends between Stockholm and Tallinn, and choose morning sailings when the wind is forecast.
Ferry or flight from Stockholm to Tallinn?
Ferry versus plane between Stockholm and Tallinn comes down to time, luggage and the view: the ferry has the deck, the luggage and the town-centre arrival; the plane has speed. On this route the ferry is the option Haqqi Tours recommends first for families and anyone with a car.
Return ferry from Tallinn to Stockholm
We book the return crossing from Tallinn to Stockholm just as easily, normally on the same confirmation. Round-trip fares and open returns are cheaper on many operators, so booking both directions together saves money. Let us know the day you want to come back on the form and we send both directions with the cost.
How much does the ferry from Stockholm to Tallinn cost?
"How much is the ferry ticket from Stockholm to Tallinn?" has several answers, because the operators price the slow boat and the fast boat differently, charge separately for vehicles and cabins, and raise fares in high season. Haqqi Tours provides the current cost for your travel date and party - foot passengers, car, seats or cabin - shortly afterwards of receiving the form, and tells you which sailing is the best value.
What we include in the price we send: the ticket for each passenger, the vehicle if you bring one, any reserved seat or cabin you asked for, port taxes, and our service - checking the timetable, booking, sending the electronic ticket and answering questions before and during the crossing.
Cheapest ferry ticket from Stockholm to Tallinn: how to pay less
The cheapest ferry ticket from Stockholm to Tallinn is usually on the conventional ferry, booked early, on a weekday outside the peak weeks. These are the rules our team applies:
- Travel on a weekday - Friday and Sunday sailings carry the highest fares
- Tell us if your dates are flexible; moving by a day frequently changes the fare
- Compare operators - on this route the cheapest company changes with the date
- Price the crossing with and without the car - for two people a rental at the other end is sometimes cheaper
- Book the return with the outbound - open returns and round-trip fares are cheaper on many operators
- Ask about children's, student and resident fares, and about vehicle offers outside high season
We answer "what is the cheapest way to get from Stockholm to Tallinn by ferry?" many times a day; the answer for your date comes back on WhatsApp with the booking ready to confirm.

Timetable and season of the Stockholm to Tallinn ferry
Nightly - that is how frequently the ferry from Stockholm to Tallinn runs, with more departures in summer and fewer, sometimes weather-dependent, in winter. Allow about 16 hours at sea plus check-in at the port. Timetables change between seasons, so we send the exact departures for your dates rather than a list that may be out of date.
If a sailing is cancelled by the shipping line for weather, you are rebooked on the next available or refunded; our WhatsApp desk handles that for you on the day.
Departure: Stockholm Värtahamnen
Your crossing starts at Stockholm Värtahamnen. Large ports have several gates and the boarding gate is announced on the boards and on the ticket; we send the gate and the check-in time with your confirmation. The Arlanda Express reaches the Central Station in 18 minutes and suits a city hotel with a cabin bag; Södermalm's hills, Solna, Uppsala or a family with luggage are simpler by car from the terminal.
- Haqqi Tours can provide a private transfer from your accommodation in Stockholm to the port on request
- Let us know which gate or terminal your sailing uses - big ports have several
- Foot passengers: at the port 45-60 minutes before departure; vehicles 60-90 minutes
- Keep the e-ticket and the ID or passport used for booking together
Arrival: Tallinn D-terminal
You step off at Tallinn D-terminal. Taxis and buses meet the boats. If you would rather not think about it, we book a driver to meet the ferry and take you to the door of your hotel.
Onward journeys from Tallinn - another ferry, a flight or a train the same day - can be added to the booking; let us know and we time the crossing to fit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to what travellers ask us most, before they book.
Can I bring a pet?
Many ships accept pets in carriers or on-board kennels, sometimes for a small fee. Let us know on WhatsApp and we confirm the rules for your sailing.
What if the weather cancels the sailing?
The company moves you to the next sailing or refunds the ticket, and our WhatsApp desk sorts it out for you on the day. In poor forecasts we suggest the conventional ferry, which sails when the fast boats stay in port.
Where does the ferry arrive in Tallinn?
At Tallinn D-terminal. Taxis and buses meet the boats, and Haqqi Tours can have a driver waiting at the pier.
Is it better to take the ferry or fly from Stockholm to Tallinn?
For most people the ferry: it docks in the town, carries all the luggage and the car, and typically costs less door to door. We book flights too and say which is better for your dates.
Do children need a ferry ticket?
Yes, at a child fare; infants generally sail free. Put the ages on the form and we apply the right fares for the Stockholm to Tallinn crossing.
Which port does the ferry leave from?
Sailings depart from Stockholm Värtahamnen. We send the gate or pier and the check-in time with the ticket, and can book a driver from your accommodation to the port.
Can Haqqi Tours arrange transfers to and from the ports?
Yes. We provide private transfers from your accommodation to Stockholm Värtahamnen and from Tallinn D-terminal to your accommodation, with room for the bags, on the same confirmation as the ticket.
Can I book a return ferry ticket?
Yes, absolutely. Choose "return" on the form and give both dates; round-trip and open-return fares are cheaper on many operators and we book whichever suits you.
How long is the ferry from Stockholm to Tallinn?
About 16 hours on the fastest vessels; the conventional ferries take longer where both run. We send the exact times for the sailing you choose.
How early should I be at Stockholm Värtahamnen?
Foot passengers 45 to 60 minutes before sailing, vehicles 60 to 90, earlier on international routes. Some fast boats board ten minutes before departure and do not wait, so we send the exact cut-off with the ticket.
Is there a luggage limit on the ferry?
Luggage is not weighed on most ferries and is carried free within the ferry company's limits; the fast passenger boats sometimes limit the number of bags. We tell you what applies to your sailing.
What is the cheapest ferry ticket from Stockholm to Tallinn?
Generally a foot-passenger seat on the conventional ferry, booked early, on a weekday outside the peak weeks. Let us know if your dates are flexible and we find the cheapest Stockholm to Tallinn ferry across the days you can travel.
Do I need a passport for this ferry?
Yes, carry it: passports are checked at the port on international crossings, and an ID is required on many domestic sailings too. We confirm what applies with the ticket.
