MS Romantika is a cruiseferry operated by the Estonian ferry company Tallink on a route connecting Stockholm, Sweden to Tallinn, Estonia. She was built in 2002 by Aker Finnyards, Rauma and she was the first ever newbuilding to be delivered to Tallink. Between 2002 and 2006 the Romantika was used on the Helsinki—Tallinn route, until she was replaced by the new MS Galaxy. After this she was transferred to her current route, sailing parallel with her sister MS Victoria I.
