FINLAND-SWEDEN M/S Galaxy which is larger in capacity operates in the Turku-Stockholm route instead of M/S Silja Festival. ESTONIA-FINLAND Since April 2008 the second Tallink Shuttle vessel Superstar operates between Tallinn and Helsinki. New cruise ferry M/S Baltic Princess has replaced the 2006 built M/S Galaxy which moved to Turku- Stockholm operations. From September 2008 the Superfast vessels are not doing the daily Tallinn-Helsinki roundtrip any more. LATVIA-SWEDEN M/S Silja Festival which is larger in capacity has replaced M/S Vana Tallinn. FINLAND-GERMANY The operations in the route are continued with the two vessels instead of three as Superfast IX has stopped from September 2008 and is employed in the long-term charter.
