Tallink says to arrive an hour before. Registration closes 30 minutes before departure and the gate 20 minutes before; late arrivals need a new ticket.

Trams 7 and 9 both stop at Länsiterminaali 2, by the terminal; the HSL ticket bought for the train covers the tram.

The boat is dearer on some days and sailings, and last-minute tickets can cost more, so check the price for your sailing.
