BIRKA GOTLAND - the perfect Swedish getaway

I liked

Ship freshly refurbished, very relaxed onboard atmosphere, lots of music, great scenery to be watched.

I didn't like

High onboard prices (Swedish price levels), high-density ship, small cabins.

Comment

The BIRKA GOTLAND is the perfect getaway for a maritime short break when in Stockholm or central Sweden. She alternates between 2- and 3-day cruises from Stockholm to Mariehamn/Åland and Visby/Gotland and is both a great "party boat" and a mini-cruise ship offering spa, wellness and conference facilities.
