'''MS ''Superfast VIII''''' is a fast [[Ro-Pax]] [[ferry]] operated by the [[Estonia]]n [[ferry]] company [[Tallink]] on the route [[Tallinn]] (Estonia) — [[Helsinki]] ([[Finland]]) — [[Rostock]] ([[Germany]]). She was built in [[2001]] by [[Howaltswerke Deutsche Werft AG]], [[Kiel]], [[Germany]] for [[Attica Group|Attica Enterprises's]] subsidiary [[Superfast Ferries]]' [[Hanko]] (Finland) — Rostock service.

In March [[2006]] Superfast sold their Baltic Sea operations to Tallink. Like her sisters, the Superfast VIII was moved from Finnish to Estonian registry, and her route changed to Hanko—[[Paldiski]]—Rostock from April 2006 onwards. The call at Paldiski proved to be impractical, an already in June of the same year the route reverted back to Hanko — Rostock. Around this time the ship's hull marking where changed to "Superfast operated by Tallink". Although there were rumours that the ships would be moved under Silja Line's brand from January [[2007]] onwards, they were instead officially made a part of Tallink's fleet. At the same time their route changed to Tallinn—Helsinki—Rostock. Between 5 and 12 April 2007 the ship was used on the Helsinki—Tallinn route due to a delay in the delivery of the new [[MS Star|MS ''Star'']]. After this she joined her sisters in the Rostock service.
