May 31, 2016: The Star, my Tallinn Ferry from Tallinn to Helsinki, is spacious, clean, efficient with friendly crew, quick electronic check in, comfortable room for lots of people, cars, buses and trucks, options for dining, drinking and duty free shopping (a real revenue resource especially with deals for booze and beer), features trip cabins if you want to relax, really good and fast internet, the world’s biggest floating Burger King, and both a business class and “comfort” lounge. The business class lounge is for those frequent travelers who want a quite place to work while the comfort lounge, a private hideaway on the front upper deck, a spacious comfortable lounge style area to relax away from the “common folk”! Both lounges feature complimentary snacks and beverages — with a near by bar for something stronger — and service staff to do the heavy food and beverage lifting. About USD$25 to upgrade to one of the lounges — one way passenger walk on and off fares around USD$50 for the two hour voyage. The folks here and the rest of Europe have figured out how to make public transit services (ferry, train, bus) work and work well. We could take a lesson!
