The 11 Best Boat Trips and Cruises from Tallinn

1.3-Day Return Cruise to Tallinn

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 132 reviews · 41 hours · from $52Our pick

2-night Stockholm to Tallinn cruise with a private sea-view cabin, included breakfast, onboard entertainment, and a full day in Old Town.

“Overall I thought this was a very reasonable trip. A very nice way to get to see Tallinn. The restaurants on the ship were very good and the staff working them was very friendly and did a great job. The entertainment was a little disappointing. Too many kids on the cruise, not what we are used to. We cruise on another cruise line that doesn’t allow minors which is what we like. Another thing that surprised us was the lack of security for a cruise. No one checking passports or luggage. Nowadays you never know who or what they bring along with them. Finally the last thing I will mention…”

2.Tallinn Bike Tour from Tallinn Cruise Port

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 89 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $56

Tallinn cruise shore excursion by bike. Ride the harbor, Kadriorg Park, Song Festival Grounds and Old Town, with helmet and guide.

“We typically book bike tours since we get to see so much more of a city than just by walking alone. I’m not sure this worked out since Tallinn best sights seem to be very concentrated in the old town (which is not really bike-friendly). We did see much of Kadriorg - gardens, stadium, Peter’s palace and grounds, and the president‘s residence. Conveniently, the tour started right at the cruise ship. The tour ends in old town so great to walk around afterwards or, at your option, have the guide escort u back to the ship.”
