FINLAND-SWEDEN M/S Galaxy which is larger in capacity operates in the Turku-Stockholm route instead of M/S Silja Festival. ESTONIA-FINLAND 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. ESTONIA-SWEDEN New cruise ferry Baltic Queen started operations in 24 April 2009 and replaced smaller MS Romantika which moved to Riga-Stockholm route. LATVIA-SWEDEN M/S Silja Festival which is larger in capacity has replaced M/S Vana Tallinn. M/S Romantika which is larger in capacity has replaced M/S Regina Baltica. 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.
