Tallink Grupp has today announced that it will stop selling cruise tickets, i.e. return tickets, on the Tallinn-Stockholm route from 13 March until 1 May 2020.

We will work with the authorities now on the specifics and details behind all the measures announced and identify the best solutions for preventing the spread of the virus. We are ready to take any steps necessary and to act decisively and without delay in this current situation. We will communicate any additional measures, decisions and actions without delay,“ Paavo Nõgene, CEO of Tallink Grupp said.
