The following operational factors influenced the development.
ESTONIA-FINLAND
From September 2008 the Superfast vessels stopped crusising daily
Tallinn-Helsinki roundtrip.
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
In May 2009 cruise ferry Romantika replaced smaller 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.
