In addition to the "Romantika", Tallink recently extended the charter contract for the "Silja Europa" by the end of January 2026. This ferry is currently being used as a floating accommodation in Rotterdam. Another Tallink ship, the "Galaxy", is also chartered in the Netherlands in the long term.

Overall, the cup of the “romantica” demonstrates the strategic foresight of Tallink in relation to operating adjustments and the maximization of business options.
