The latest TALLINK CRUISE FERRY, namely the BALTIC PRINCESS was christened on march 6, 2008 in Helsinki
She is a GALAXY sistership, this way she is 212 m long, has 935 cabins. A section (40% of the hull actually) was built at les Chantiers de l'Atlantique, St Nazaire France(now AKER YARDS FRANCE SA), and then towed to Helsinki shipyards about 1 year ago.
Baltic Princess is due to start operations on summer 2008 on Tallinn-Helsinkin run, replacing her sistership which will be moved on Turku-Aland-Stockholm line replacing the SILJA FESTIVAL which is to sail on Stockholm-Riga line.
The Superstar, a fast daily cruise ferry is also to be delivered next month for the Tallinn-Helsinki line and third cruise ferry will be delivered to TALLINK in 2009.
