Now that ticket prices have gone up generally, but Tallink's in particular, Eckerö is definitely the 'Ryanair' option for ferries between Tallinn and Helsinki. But unless you board first and make a beeline for the few comfortable places to sit on board, you'll almost certainly be stuck in one of the many overcrowded and very noisy parts of the ferry. There's also not much in the way of basic food and drinks on board, and what there is doesn't come in many options (or with great prices). Basically, if you don't mind a loud and crowded experience without many options because the price is much better, you'll be fine on Eckerö. But if you want a guarantee of more comfort and choice, go for Tallink - the tickets are more expensive, but the ferries are much nicer and less crowded, the departure times are better and you arrive at the same terminal in Helsinki with the benefit of departing from/arriving at Terminal D in Tallinn. (Ongoing construction and roadworks around Terminal A means that Terminal D is much more accessible.) The boarding process in Terminal D is much better organised and more civilised than the horrible free-for-all in the old and cramped Terminal A, too.
Periaatteessa hyvä ja informatiivinen kokonaisuus, mutta, anteeksi vaan. Sinulla on kovin "levoton kamera". Kuvanäkymä viuhuu vasemmalle ja oikealle. Usko tai älä, mutta jo 1980-luvun lopulla videokuvauksen opiskelleena tiedän mistä puhun. Viuhtova kuvaus karkottaa katsojat, koska he eivät ehdi nähdä tarkasti mitään kun koko ajan näkymä vain siirtyy liian suurella vauhdilla sinne tänne. 🙂

Yup, my bad.

Tervetuloa Viroon! 🖐
Kiitos!
Ei millään Tallinnan laivalla ole taxfree-kauppaa toisin kuin Tukholman laivoilla on.
