There is a new catamaran service from Finland to Tallinn, Estonia called the Nordic Jet Line. The cats are very comfortable, very quick (great for people prone to sea sickness). Each cat holds 430 passengers and 55 cars. For further details contact Nordic Jet Line, Kanavaterminaali K5, PL 134, Fin-00161 Helsinki (tel) 358 9 681 770, fax 358 9 260 9244, email : booking @njl.fi.

One good tip that everyone should know about – when arriving at Helsinki-Vanataa airport there is a so-called “Yellow Cab” service which will drive you for 70 FIM (fixed price) to any hotel/place within the Helsinki city area and for a few FIM more, will take you to the outer suburbs. Because it’s quite a long way from the airport into town which makes taxis expensive and the Finnair terminal bus does not have a very flexible schedule – this can be a good idea. Just go to the exit and you’ll find friendly staff assisting you in any question about this. Hotels will also arrange this for you.
