Viking Line and Tallink operate cross-border ferry services across the Baltic Sea between Finland, Estonia, Sweden and Åland. EU Regulation 1177/2010 fully applies to these international EU sailings.

- 25% compensation for a 1-hour departure delay; 50% for 2 hours, 75% for 3 hours, 100% for 4+ hours.
- Right to rerouting on the next Viking or Tallink sailing or a full refund if your trip is cancelled.
- Assistance with meals and cabin accommodation during extended delays at Baltic ports.

Tips for claiming
- Keep your booking reference from the Viking Line or Tallink confirmation email.
- Helsinki–Tallinn and Stockholm–Turku are the most frequent Baltic compensation routes.
- Overnight cruise ferries count the same — a delayed departure still triggers EU compensation.
