Route guide

Vuosaari to Muuga: bypass city-centre ferry traffic with your vehicle

Eckerö Line’s m/s Finbo Cargo operates between Vuosaari in Helsinki and Muuga near Tallinn with a published sea time of about two hours 45 minutes. The service is specifically designed for travellers using their own motorised vehicle.

This is not a normal city-centre passenger ferry: all passengers must board in a reserved motorised vehicle, and foot passengers cannot travel. That distinction can make the route excellent for road trips but unsuitable for travellers relying on public transport at the ports.

Compare the total journey rather than only the headline fare: departure time, arrival time, vehicle cost, accommodation, port formalities and onward travel can materially change which sailing is best.

Even on Vuosaari to Muuga, fares and vessel assignments can vary by departure, so compare the live options rather than relying only on a typical journey time.

For Vuosaari to Muuga, the advertised crossing time is only one part of the journey. Allow for port access, check-in, boarding and disembarkation when deciding which departure best fits the day.

Passengers, vehicles and the fare

Select the correct passenger category before comparing Vuosaari to Muuga fares. A passenger-only boat cannot take a car, and a vehicle ferry may still have limited bicycle or foot-passenger availability. The travel modes shown in the facts panel should be checked against the specific sailing.

For a vehicle booking, give the full height and length including a roof box, rear rack or trailer. Where accommodation is offered, check whether a cabin or seat is required and whether meals are included. Request mobility assistance and any pet space before completing the booking, because these can have separate capacity limits.

Prices depend on the date, passenger mix, vehicle and ticket conditions. Compare the complete return cost and the amendment or cancellation terms. No fixed fare on this guide should replace a dated quote.
