The Star Class is a class of five ro-pax ferries built by Fincantieri, Italy at their Castellammare di Stabia and Ancona shipyards for Finnlines.

M/S Finnstar

M/S Finnstar was the first Star-class ship to be completed. The ship was built at Fincantieri's Castellammare di Stabia yard. She was delivered to Finnlines in July 2006 (original planned delivery date was in late 2005) and the class takes it's name from this ship. She is used on the Helsinki — Travemünde route.

Immediately after the first Travemünde — Helsinki trip the ship was forced to drydock in Bremerhaven due to problems with her bow thrusters. On January 4, 2007, a small fire broke out on board while the ship was docked in Helsinki, that seems to have originated, and been contained to one of the bilge pumps on board. The Finnmaid is registered in Helsinki, Finland.

M/S Finnlady

The ship currently sailing under the name M/S Finnlady was originally laid down as M/S Europalink, but due to delays in construction of the original Finnlady finnlines decided to swap the names of the ships. She was built at Fincantieri's Ancona shipyard and delivered in February 2007 (original planned delivery date was in October 2006). She is used on the Helsinki — Travemünde route. The Finnlady is registered in Helsinki, Finland.

M/S Europalink

M/S Europalink was originally planned to be called M/S Finnlady, but delays in construction made Finnlines swap the names of the two ships. She was built at the Castellammare di Stabia shipyard, and her original delivery date was planned to be in mid-2006(planned delivery date was set for mid-2006), but eventually she was delivered in March 2007 and used on Finnlines Nordö-Link service between Malmö and Travemünde. The Europalink is registered in Malmö, Sweden.
