Description
Specially designed for cruises through the Stockholm archipelago and Åland, the Birka Gotland offers a multitude of panoramic views from its public areas, including the Yacht Club Bar, the Pacific Pub, and the Club Copacabana, where live music is played. Dining options include three restaurants ("Grand Buffet," "Four Seasons," and "Café Brazil") and eight bars, while special attention was paid to the ship's fitness, wellness, and relaxation facilities during the design phase. The Birka Gotland features not only a swimming pool and an artificial beach under a magrodome but also sun loungers, palm trees, and even beach parties and barbecues (weather permitting). There is also a casino and a large duty-free shop on board, and the ship benefits from the special tax regime of the Åland Islands.
