Tips & Advice
- Pack a passport or EU identity card, because travel documents may be checked at the border and you must be able to prove your nationality.
- Book the member fare only if you have a Tallink Club One card, since the cardholder must stay in the cabin and each card covers one cabin.
- Without a Tallink card, book the cruise through the sales service, where it's offered at a different price from the member fare.
- Reserve the guided Skansen Christmas excursion if you'd like a plan for your roughly four hours ashore in Stockholm on Christmas Day.
- Upgrade from the included buffet to the Christmas Eve menu at the Promenade restaurants if you'd rather eat there, for an extra charge.
