Star was the first fast cruiseferry to enter service between Helsinki and Tallinn, replacing–together with the Superstar delivered the following year–four small high-speed crafts and one "slow" cruiseferry in the Tallink fleet. Structurally the Star is based on the SeaFrance Rodin built in 2001 by Aker Finnyards in Rauma for SeaFrance. Viking XPRS of Tallink's main competitor Viking Line is a further variant of the SeaFrance Rodin's basic construction.
