The podcast host James Hammond described the process of taking a ferry from Estonia to Helsinki. He mentioned Viking Line as the primary service, with Tallink C-Line and A-line as alternatives. The booking process involves selecting a date and time online, paying in euros, and using a barcode for check-in at the ferry terminal. The journey takes just over two hours and offers onboard services, including a bar.
“We utilized the hotel breakfast for €14 at the Metropol hotel and checked out of our hotel pretty early to get the 10:45 ferry with Viking line towards Helsinki.”
“If you want to book this, you head online to Viking or the other ferry services called Tallink C-Line or the A-line.”
“Pick your date and time, pay in euros, then use the barcode from your confirmation to check in at the machine at the ferry terminal.”
