During her Build, MS Baltic Queen's planned route was a mystery to the general public for a long time, until on 11 November 2008 Tallink revealed that she would be placed on the Tallinn - Stockholm service on completion. The ship was launched from drydock and officially named Baltic Queen on 5 December 2008. By this time the shipyard had been renamed STX Europe. MS Baltic Queen is almost an exact replica of her sister the MS Baltic Princess. The most notable differance is the colour of the vessel's livery.
Baltic Queen entered service on the Tallinn - Mariehamn - Stockholm route on 24 April 2009, replacing Tallink's first newbuilt ship MS Romantika, which was moved to the Riga - Stockholm service. |
