Local flavours from the neighbourhood

Behind the classic Christmas flavours lies another key ingredient that makes our Christmas buffet unique – carefully selected ingredients from Åland and Roslagen.

Among the Åland delicacies on the Christmas buffet, you’ll find, amongst other things, Christmas sausage from Dahlmans, herring from Leif and Gerd Bergman, and rye bread from Ålandsbagarn. From Roslagen come sausages from Stabbykorv, the Linusson brothers veal sausage, and gravad and hot-smoked salmon from Roslagsfisk. The Christmas ham is from Sandby Gård in northern Roslagen.

Christmas buffet cruise with entertainment

During your cruise with Eckerö Linjen, you can enjoy live music and entertainment at Klubb Kuling on all our departures. Our cruise hosts and troubadours create an extra festive atmosphere with musical entertainment and music quizzes. On a few Tuesdays before Christmas, you can also enjoy a Christmas show in Bar Klubb Kuling on board.

Before the journey comes to an end, you’ll of course also have time to do some shopping in our well-stocked duty-free shop, where you’ll find, amongst other things, gifts, jewellery, cosmetics, drinks and snacks.
