I willl be coming to St Pete in mid Dec. and planned on buying train tickets to Tallinn before I left the US, but I've heard the train straight from St Pete to Tallinn has been cancelled, and now it runs through Moscow. I can only stay as long as my visa allows, which is four days, so I want to make sure I have a way out before I get there. Do you have any suggestions on how I can get to Estonia pretty cheaply? Does the ferry that runs btw Tallinn, Helsinki, and St Pete run in the dead of winter and if so, could I purchase tickets online somewhere before I get to Russia? Thanks for any suggestions you have for me! Kate

You can order tickets via this site. The only problem is that the site has only Russian version. You can either try and find other sites that have English versions to order tickets or send me the necessary info and I'll fill in the necessary form for you.

I think there is no online booking available, but it also isn't necessary.
