SeaWind Line is a subsidiary of the Finnish passenger shipping company Silja Line, owned by the Estonian company Tallink. SeaWind is directed to cargo shipping and passengers not looking for the luxury and festive atmosphere that can be found on Silja Line's cruise ferries.

SeaWind was founded in 1988 and started trafficking Stockholm - Turku with M/S Sea Wind on 21 April 1989. In order to keep tax free sales on board after the EU changed its tax free legislation, a stop at Långnäs was added to the route in 1999.

Between the years 2002 and 2005 SeaWind's M/S Star Wind served on the route Helsinki - Tallinn, in May 2005 that traffic was terminated and Star Wind was moved to the Stockholm - Turku route and soon sold to Saaremaa Laevakompanii.
