Stockholm to Tallinn is Tallink Silja Line’s overnight passenger route between Sweden and Estonia. The normal crossing takes about 16 hours, departing Stockholm in the afternoon or early evening and arriving in Tallinn the following morning.
Baltic Queen operates the regular route year-round, with departures from Tallinn every other evening and a corresponding alternating pattern from Stockholm. Tallink also adds extra departures with Romantika during peak summer periods, so the live timetable should be checked for the exact sailing pattern.
The cruise ferry carries cars and provides cabins, restaurants, bars, shopping and entertainment. Because the route runs overnight, a cabin is strongly recommended even where alternative accommodation categories are offered.
Arrival at Tallinn places travellers close to the Old Town and the road network through Estonia. For greater departure frequency, it is also possible to travel between Stockholm and Helsinki and connect with the two-hour Helsinki–Tallinn Shuttle, though this requires a terminal change in Helsinki.
If you are connecting to accommodation, another ferry or ground transport, leave a sensible margin after the scheduled arrival. Weather, port traffic and boarding operations can occasionally affect the final timing.

Tallink Silja LineCrossing time: about 16 hours
Tallink Silja Line operates Baltic Queen on the regular Stockholm–Tallinn route. The overnight ferry offers cabins, restaurants, entertainment, shopping and vehicle transport, with extra summer sailings on selected dates.
Use the operator confirmation for the correct check-in area, terminal instructions and arrival deadline. Port procedures can vary by passenger type and sailing.
Tallink’s Tallinn service uses the Värtahamnen terminal area in Stockholm. It is connected to the city by public transport and road links, but allow time for urban traffic before check-in.
Tallink uses Tallinn’s D-Terminal in the Old City Harbour area. The port is close to central Tallinn and connects readily with the city road network and public transport.
Baltic Queen is designed for overnight travel, so cabins, dining and entertainment are central to the route rather than simple add-ons.
A wide range of cabin categories provides overnight accommodation for different budgets.
Buffet, à la carte, café and bar options are available subject to opening hours.
Live entertainment, lounges and other leisure spaces operate during the overnight journey.
Onboard retail is a prominent feature of the Baltic Queen experience.
The assigned vessel can change. Treat the live booking result and operator information as definitive for facilities, accessibility, seating, accommodation and pet arrangements.
Sweden and Estonia are EU and Schengen countries, but Tallink requires valid travel documentation and authorities may conduct checks. Carry a passport or accepted national ID appropriate for your nationality.
Carry the passport or national identity document accepted for your journey. A driving licence is not a substitute for international travel documentation.
Cars can be taken on the route. Enter correct dimensions and carry normal registration and insurance documents.
Baltic Queen does not depart from each city every day. Check the date carefully before arranging connecting travel or hotels.
Tallinn’s historic centre is close to the harbour, making the route practical for a city break without a car. Motorists can continue towards Pärnu and Latvia, Tartu and south-eastern Estonia, or the north coast.
If the direct ferry does not operate on your preferred date, Tallink suggests travelling via Helsinki using an overnight Stockholm–Helsinki ferry plus a separate Helsinki–Tallinn Shuttle connection.
